1. Overview
This document describes the process for configuring the 20xx range of loggers inbuilt Ethernet
adaptor.
Prerequisites
Before proceeding with the installation you will require all of the following:
- A 20xx logger with inbuilt Ethernet, externally powered
- A networked PC that is able to access the network on which you intend to connect the
20xx logger
- An Ethernet connection on the network you wish the SQ20xx logger to reside.
- Before proceeding you must speak to your network administrator to get the following
information regarding the network you will be connecting the SQ20xx logger to:
○The network gateway
○The network subnet mask
○An available IP address.
 This should ideally be a static IP address.
 If a static address cannot be found then the next best would
be an assigned address.
 The worst case would be a leased address with a significant
timeout.
NOTE: One of the above must be found. Failure to do so could result in problems communicat-
ing with the logger in the event of a reset caused by a power failure.
- When you have the details from your network administrator as detailed above note
them down here as they will be required when setting up communications from within
SquirrelView and the logger.
○IP address. _____._____.______._____
○Subnet mask _____._____.______._____
○Network gateway _____._____.______._____

4.1 Prerequisites
Before proceeding with the installation you will require all of the following:
- You must complete the previous section(s) in this document i.e. the device must be
configured and communicating with SquirrelView.
- The users browser must have the latest Java Virtual Machine from Sun Microsys-
tems installed. (See following section)
4.2 Checking the browser JVM Version
Before running the SQ20xx Applet the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) of the browser should be
upgraded to the latest version from Sun Microsystems. To check the JVM on a machine run-
ning Microsoft Internet Explorer perform the following steps:
1. Start Microsoft Internet Explorer browser.
2. Select the ‘Tools’ menus and then the ‘Internet Options..’ menu item.
3. In the next dialog click on the ‘Advanced’ tab.

carry out the steps in the ‘Updating the Java JVM’ section.
4.3 Updating the Java JVM
The latest JVM can be downloaded from the web site www.java.com. From this site select the
‘Manual Download’ link and then download the appropriate file for your operating system. If
you are using Microsoft Windows use the ‘Windows (Offline Installation)’ link and double click
on the downloaded file to install the JVM.
4.4 Execution Over an Intranet
You may now run the SQ20xx applet by entering the IP address of the SQ20xx device in a
browser.
This will bring up the SQ20xx Ethernet Configuration and Management window.
- Enter username and password
○Username –‘root’ (default)
○Password –‘dbps’ (default)
Click on the ‘Set as Default’
