after about a second. The first beep tells you the processor is running. The second 
beep verifies the installation of the data logger. (If you do not hear two beeps, 
contact Davis Instruments Technical Support.) 

The data logger is communicating with the Envoy, but data is still not being 
communicated to WeatherLink.com and/or WeatherLink software.

1. See if you have a connection to the Internet established. Verify that you can access 

a website from a computer connected to the router or switch that the 
WeatherLinkIP data logger is using.

2. Check the cable connection between your WeatherLinkIP data logger and the 

broadband router. Check if the green light on the WeatherLink IP data logger is on 
or blinking.

3. Leaving the data logger connected to your router, disconnect power from both 

your router and your Envoy, both AC and batteries.

4. Return power to the router. Wait for at least one minute as the router reboots and 

re-establishes connections.

5. Return AC power to the Envoy. On power up, you will hear two beeps.
6. Check if the green light on the WeatherLink IP data logger is on. If it is not on, 

contact Technical Support.

In the WeatherLink software, the barometer graph on the Bulletin does not “fill 
in” completely. 

When you first load the bulletin, the barometer graph will only fill in completely 

when you have data in your database for the last six hours. Make sure:

• There is data in your database for the span of the barometer graph.
• The time and date of the stored barometer data is correct in your database.
• The time and date on the PC is correct.
• The time and date on the weather station are correct.
