7.1.1 Physical Setup
Using the supplied serial cable, connect the NL200/201’s CS I/O port or RS-
232 port to the datalogger’s CS I/O or RS-232 port, respectively. The NL201
will be powered if connected via CS I/O. Alternatively, power the NL200 or
NL201 through the barrel-connector jack located on the edge of the device.
Connect the NL200/201 to your network using an Ethernet cable, attaching one
end of the cable to the NL200/201’s Ethernet port and the other end to your
network. Ensure that the device is powered up by inspecting the Power LED.
