Troubleshooting guide

the Davis website for updates at regular intervals.The changelog on the Davis website (see link below)
usually gives an indication of the significance of each update.
Your IP logger’s curernt firmware version can be found in one of three ways:
• (Simplest): Log on to your WLIP logger account at weatherlink.com and look at the ‘My Account’ tab.
In the ‘My Device’ section towards the bottom you’ll find the current ‘Firmware Version’ line;
• Look at your IP logger’s web interface (see next subtopic further below)
• Run the firmware updater (see following notes);
The latest firmware for the WLIP logger can always
be downloaded from the support section of the
Davis website and specifically from the
Weatherlink section at www.davisnet.com/support/
weather/downloads/software_frmwr.asp. The
download is in the form of an exe file that can be
run directly on Windows systems once
downloaded.
Running the updater
Running the updater displays the simple dialogue
shown right. The updater runs in two stages. First,
as it opens, it will automatically look for an IP logger on the local network and, if one is found, the DID and
IP address will be displayed. If there are two or more local WLIP loggers then click the Find button until the
particular logger of interest (as verified via its DID) is displayed. (IP loggers on remote systems, ie not on
the local network, can also be updated. In this case, select the Remote IP Address option, enter the public
IP address of the remote logger and press Find to verify that the logger can be seen.)
For the second stage, click the Start button.The Firmware Information dialogue box will appear advising you
of your current Firmware version. You can choose to proceed with the update or cancel out of the firmware
updater. If you do proceed then the latest firmware will download to the logger over the course of a minute
or so – as with any firmware update, do not interrupt this download until it has completed. When
complete you should see a dialogue message advising of a successful update. In the unlikely event that the
update was not successful then it may well be worth trying a second time. (NB Once the update has started
it will proceed even if the existing firmware version is identical to the ‘new’ version, but this shouldn’t be a
problem – it will simply result in a new copy of the same firmware being loaded into the logger.)
