Turning the Unit On and Joining a Network
The action of turning on a unit means that it will also have to
join a network.
3. Give the logger button a short press.
4. The logger will search for a network. The LED will blink
orange until either of the following two scenarios occurs:
The logger cannot find a network and the LED will
blink red three times. The logger will shutdown.
Note:
The logger won’t find a network if its SN wasn’t
entered in the Device Filter, if the Receiver isn’t online
or if the network is locked (go to the Network menu to
unlock).
The logger finds a network and the LED blinks green
three times. It has now joined a network.
5. Once the logger has joined the network you may
configure it to start recording data. Refer to section
4.12.
Rescanning for New Networks
To have the logger rescan for a new network (the logger is
moving from network to another), from Off status, hold the
logger button down until the LED emits a constant orange
light. This indicates the logger is rescanning available
networks. It will then connect to the network which recognizes
its Serial Number, as it was entered in the Device Filter.
Note:
If there are multiple DataNet networks in your
environment make sure that the logger SN is listed in the
Device Filter of only one of these networks, otherwise you
can’t control which network it will join first and you will have to
rescan the networks several times.
