Adding Loggers: W2 Wireless and Ethernet Loggers
1) Logger Models - There are two types of W2 Loggers:
•W2 Wireless Loggers:
oRequires a Receiver (WR2xx) for wireless trans ission of data to the PC.
oDepending on your logger odel, you ay receive an AC Adapter or additional equip ent such as
a probe. For re ote probe odels, please ake sure to connect the probe to the logger before
setup.
•W2 Ethernet Loggers:
oRequire an Ethernet connection and AC power for trans ission of data to the PC.
oReceiver is not required, but can be added to a W2 syste running standard wireless loggers and a
receiver.
oIf operating several subnets on your network, confir with IT that the logger subnet can
co unicate with the Host PC subnet. If necessary both the Host PC and the logger can be
assigned fixed IP addresses. Ex: Must be able to ping the Host PC IP Address fro the Logger IP
Address.
oAC power is required for operation. Can run on battery only power while being configured and
oved to its target location.
oDepending on your logger odel, you ay receive an AC Adapter or additional equip ent such as
a probe. For re ote probe odels, please ake sure to connect the probe to the logger before
setup.
2) If the logger odel requires a probe, ake sure the probe is fir ly connected to the logger. Slide the power
switch up to the “On” position. LED will blink red/green/blue quickly 10 ti es to indicate power on.
3) Leaving the receiver plugged into the co puter, connect the logger into the co puter via the unused USB
cable. (Note required for Ethernet Loggers)

Co plete the following fields:
Target IP Address (Host PC IP Address): This is the IP address for the Host PC. To set, click on “Set Target
IP Address”. A window will appear with available IP addresses
for the PC. Select an IP address and click OK.
NOTE: If ore than 1 IP address appears, you ay have the host
PC connected wirelessly and via Ethernet to the network. Re ove
USB fro logger, turn off the Wireless connection and reconnect
the logger via USB. Only one IP address should display under Set
Target IP Address.
NOTE: If the Target IP Address changes, the loggers ust be brought back to the host PC, connected via USB
and odified to save the new Target IP Address. A Static Target IP address is referable.
Logger IP Address: Unless instructed otherwise by your IT depart ent, select “Obtain
an IP address auto atically (DHCP)”. When the logger is
connected to the Ethernet, it will auto atically obtain an IP
address and send a packet to the Host PC identifying itself.
NOTE: If operating several subnets on your network, confir with your IT depart ent that the subnet your
logger is on can co unicate with the subnet of the Host PC. If necessary, both the Host PC and the logger
can be assigned static IP addresses.
