Device Configuration Utility
(see
20)).On the NL241 tab, set Bridge Mode to disable.
2. On the CS I/O tab:
a. Set Configuration to TCP Serial Server.
b. Set SDC address. (Note that if multiple peripherals are connected to a data logger
CS I/O port, each must have a unique SDC address.)

8.2.3.3
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 NL241 IP address
and port number. The IP address and port number are input on the same line separated by
a colon. The NL241 default Port number is 6783. 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
