All Cloudworks devices connect to a server with a static IP or domain name. They usually use UDP/IP protocols and
connect, by default, on port 13000. If you are running your own server, the Server Name or

If you are using a foreign simcard on a network, the logger will need to be told that it is allowed to use data roaming.
Without that, the logger will shutdown communications if it detects a roaming data connection. This can be done by ticking
the option box.
The Wakeup Period refers to the time a logger remains asleep before waking and connecting to the server to upload its
data. The Datalog Period is the time between each recorded datalog entry.
Datalog timings are calculated forward from midnight of the day on which they are set. What this means is that if the
datalog period is set to 5 minutes for instance, the next log time will be calculated as 5 m
