Try adding a few seconds to the extra response time on the IP Port in 
LoggerNet (you should not need more than 5 seconds). 

c.

 

If you are trying to communicate to a PakBus datalogger: 

i.

 

Verify the PakBus address in the setup screen matches that of the 
datalogger. 

ii.

 

If you have multiple PakBus networks/ports setup in LoggerNet, 
uncheck the ‘PakBus Port Always Open’ options on all PakBus 
ports. 

3.  See if the modem has incoming and outgoing serial data.  You can do this 

by using AirLink’s Wireless Ace.  Connect to the modem, and then once 
you have the settings, go to the ‘Status’ link and note the serial in and 
serial out values (see Figure 7-2).  Now try to connect to the modem with 
LoggerNet.  If you don’t connect in LoggerNet, go back to Wireless Ace 
and reconnect to the modem to get the settings again.  Go to the ‘status’ 
link and compare the serial in and serial out values to those you 
previously obtained.

If they are still the same, the modem is not attempting to make a 
connection to the datalogger (check the settings in the modem,
