Remote connection
The Commander software communicates with a remote MRL-7 via IP-Call. To enable communication
the following settings need to be adjusted:
IP Call server and port (
The address and the port of the server used for IP-calls.
IP Call interval (
The interval at which the MRL-7 for IP call requests. The default interval of one minute is generally
adequate.
Stand-by time
To reduce power consumption and to restrict access
to the data logger, a time window for IP-

Data logger clock
The clock of the MRL-7 is powered by an internal lithium button cell battery that needs regular syn-
chronization. Generally, the time is synchronized by an NTP server, which is configured by the following
settings:
NTP server and port (
The address and the port of the time server.
NTP synchronization time (
The time at which the clock of the MRL-7 is synchronized every day. This time should not overlap with
any other communication task of the data logger.
Time zone (
The offset between the time zone in which the MRL-7 is operating and UTC in seconds.
!
Attention
Time synchronization by an NTP server ignores daylight saving time! If auto-
matic time synchronization is active, it removes a manually entered daylight
saving time at the next synchronization.

Camera
A digital camera with RS-485 communication can be used with the MRL-7. If connected, it records
pictures in the specified
and stores them on the MicroSD card if present.
For automatic operation the following settings have to be configured:
Switch (
The number of the switched 12-V supply (
SW
) which powers the camera.
Warm-up time (
The time required by the camera to get ready for recording.
