3. If using a static IP address, select the CS I/O IP tab and input the IP address, subnet mask,
and IP gateway for the correct CS I/O Interface. The default for the NL241 is CS I/O IP
Interface #2 (SDC1). DNS server settings are shared by all active IP interfaces and can be
entered on the Ethernet tab. These values can be provided by your network administrator.
If using DHCP, leave the CS I/O IP address settings as 0.0.0.0. Information acquired by
DHCP is shown in the info box on the Ethernet and CS I/O IP tabs.
4. Click Apply to save the changes and then close
Device Configuration Utility
.
NOTE:
The NL241 must be connected to the data logger before configuring the data logger with
Device Configuration Utility
. If it is not connected, the Ethernet settings will not be displayed.
By default, the NL241 uses the data logger CS I/O Interface #2. If connecting more than one
NL241 to a data logger, one NL241 can be configured to use CS I/O Interface #1. This is done
by connecting to the NL241 in DevConfig, going to the Settings Editor tab, and changing the
CS I/O IP Interface Identifier from 2 to 1. If this setting is changed, the IP address, subnet
mask, and IP gateway should be input under CS I/O IP #1 on the data logger CS I/O IP tab.
CS I/O Interface #2 communicates over SDC address 1. CS I/O Interface #1 communicates
over SDC address 3.

LoggerNet
setup
The next step is to run
LoggerNet
and configure it to connect to the data logger via the Wi-Fi
port. (See the following screen shot.) Note that the
LoggerNet
computer must be part of the
same network that the NL241 has joined or created.
1. In the
LoggerNet
Setup screen, click Add Root and select IPPort. Enter the data logger IP
address and port number. The IP address and port number are input on the same line
separated by a colon. The data logger default Port number is 6785. Unless firewall issues
exist, it is not necessary to change the port from its default value.
2. Add a PakBus Port (PakBusPort).
3. Add the data logger and type the PakBus address of the data logger.
4. Click Apply to save the changes and then close
Device Configuration Utility
.
5. Verify that the settings are correct by selecting the data logger in the Network Map,
clicking the Clock tab, and clicking Check Clocks. If the settings are correct, the current
clock of the server and data logger will update.
