3. QuickStart
Out of the box, the NL241 is configured for operation as a PakBus® router and
to create an open Wi-Fi network called “NL241_
SerialNumber
”. In this mode,
the NL241 can be used to communicate with Campbell Scientific PakBus
devices using a Wi-Fi-enabled device such as a smart phone. The following
instructions indicate how to use an NL241 to connect to a datalogger using a
smart phone with Campbell Scientific’s
LoggerLink
Mobile App.
3.1 Physical Setup
As shown in FIGURE 3-1 , attach an antenna to the NL241 Antenna connector.
Using the supplied serial cable, connect the NL241 CS I/O port to the
datalogger CS I/O port. This cable supplies communications and power from
the datalogger to the NL241. Ensure that the device is powered by inspecting
the LED. The LED will be solid red when the device is connecting to or
creating a Wi-Fi network. When the LED starts flashing green, it is ready for
Wi-Fi communication.
