NL200/201 Network Link Interface

3.2 Configuring the NL200/201

INSTALL THE DEVICE DRIVER BEFORE plugging the

NL200/201 into your PC for the first time. You will need the

device driver properly installed before you can connect to the

NL200/201 via USB.

To install the device driver, download the latest version of

DevConfig from our website. Under Device Type, select Network

Peripheral | NL200 Series. Click the Install the device driver for

the device link and follow the prompts.

• Ensure the NL200/201 is powered.

• Connect the supplied USB cable between a USB port on your computer

and the USB port on the NL200/201.

• Open DevConfig.

• Under Device Type, select NL200.

• Click the Browse button next to Communication Port.

• Select the port labeled NL200.

• Click OK.

• Click Connect.

• To enter a static IP address, select disable in the Use DHCP field. Then

input the IP Address, Network Mask, and Default Gateway. These

values can be provided by your network administrator.

• If a dynamic address is to be used, the network information acquired via

DHCP can be seen on the NL200 tab.

• Click Apply to save your changes.

It is recommended that a static IP address be given to the

NL200/201 for most applications so that the path to the device is

always known. If using a dynamic IP address acquired via DHCP

you may wish to configure the NL200/201 as a PakBus/TCP

client.

3.3 LoggerNet Setup

The next step is to run LoggerNet and configure it to connect to the datalogger

via the NL200/201.

• In the LoggerNet Setup screen, press Add Root and choose IPPort. Input

the NL200/201’s IP address and port number. The IP address and port

number are input on the same line separated by a colon. IPv6 addresses

will need to be enclosed in square brackets when specifying a port number.
