Connect both your VantageVue 6555 IP Data Logger and the WeatherBridge into the same router, as
shown in Figure 5.
Figure 5
The Davis Instruments 6555 and WeatherBridge communicate over your local area network.
3.2.2
Acurite Internet-Bridge
The WeatherBridge must be configured as a WiFi device to support the AcuRite Bridge, since the
AcuRite Bridge uses the only Ethernet Port.
In order to configure the WeatherBridge as a WiFi device (as outlined in Section 8), you must connect
the WeatherBridge via an Ethernet or LAN cable, shown in Figure 6.
Once the WeatherBridge is configured as a WiFi device, unplug the Ethernet cable from the Router
and plug in the AcuRite Bridge, as shown in Figure
7
.
The "LAN Bridge" option on the
Network
Tab (reference Section 8.2) must be enabled to allow the
Acurite Internet-Bridge to connect to the Internet as before.
