NL200 Network Link Interface
8.1.1 Configuring the NL200
• Connect to the NL200 in DevConfig (see Section 6).
• On the NL200 tab:
o Set Bridge Mode to ‘disable’.
o Set Use DHCP to ‘disable’.
o Input the IP Address, Network Mask and Default Gateway. These
values can be provided by your network administrator.
• On the Network Services tab:
o Make note of the PakBus/TCP Server Port.
8.1.2 Configuring the Datalogger
The datalogger must first be configured for internet
communication (i.e., through an NL115, an NL120, a second
NL200, or a cellular modem).
NOTE
• Connect a serial cable from the PC COM port to the datalogger’s RS-232
port.
• Open DevConfig. Select the device type of the datalogger (CR800,
CR1000, or CR3000), the appropriate Communication Port and baud rate.
Press the “Connect” button to connect to the datalogger.
• On the Network Services tab:
o Under PakBus TCP Client Connections, input the NL200’s IP address
and PakBus TCP Server Port.
• Press the “Apply” button to save the changes and then close DevConfig.
9. Troubleshooting
This section covers some common problems that might be encountered when
using the NL200. This is not comprehensive but should provide some insight
and ability to correct simple errors without a call to Campbell Scientific
technical support.
When your Campbell Scientific software cannot establish a link to a remote
datalogger that is connected to the NL200, check the following:
1. Check all your power connections.
• Your NL200 and any hub and/or router being used must be connected
to power. Check power indicator lights to make sure your devices are
powered.
