Troubleshooting guide

The WLIP logger should then restart automatically with the new firmware now active.
For those preferring to view a video, instructions for performing the firmware update are also available on a
Youtube video on the Davis channel..
Viewing the WLIP web interface
It is sometimes overlooked that the WLIP
logger does have its own very basic web
interface (see right).
You must know the IP address of the WLIP
logger before this web interface can be
called up. (See section above for finding
the IP address.) Once known, this IP
address can simply be entered into the
address bar of any standard web browser
(Internet Explorer, Chrome etc) as, for example, http://192.168.1.7 (but obviously replacing the IP address
with your own value). This should cause the web interface to be displayed, although it may take some
seconds before the logger responds and occasionally it may require one or two further attempts to display
the interface.
The purpose of the interface is to provide a means of making very basic changes to the logger’s
configuration, but it also reports the details of the logger’s current configuration, e.g. the current firmware
version is shown highlighted at the top.
In practice, most users will hardly, if ever, need to change these settings and our strong advice is not even
to try playing with the settings – with the wrong values it is easily possible to stop the logger communication
at all on the network and the logger is then potentially useless for ever. You have been warned!
But for the rare occasions when some change to the settings may be required, there are two main settings
to consider:
• Switching the logger from automatic assignment of IP address (DHCP) to manual assignment. Note
that all values in the various network settings will need to be 100% correct before the settings are
saved;
• Turning off the automatic uploads to weatherlink.com – see the checkbox to the right of the
configuration screen. This setting may occasionally be preferred for maximum reliability if the prime
