can be established.
• Put in your WiFi password, click “Next” and the screen will disappear. The wireless connection has
now been set up.
Connecting to LogTag Online
• Your WiFi Interface Cradle has now been set up for a connection with LogTag Online. To finish the
setup, visit http://logtagonline.com
• Sign in with your account details, or create a new account. When you are creating a new account, a
verification email will be sent to your email address.
• Once you are logged into LogTag Online, please click “register device”. Here you can register your
LTI-WiFi Interface Cradle. When you use a WiFi Interface Cradle, it’s not necessary to register your
Logger you are using. Enter a description and the Interface Cradle serial number (the number after
S/N, found at the underside of the Interface Cradle).

• Click register to complete the process. Your LTI-WiFi Interface Cradle is now ready to upload data to
the LogTag Online cloud service.
• Connect the LTI-WiFi Interface Cradle to your computer. Once the Interface Cradle has been
connected to your LogTag Online account, the blue LED will turn on. If it can’t connect, you can use
the Network LED table to detect possible causes (see “4. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION” on page
8). Make sure you close LogTag Analyzer or any other LogTag software when using LogTag Online
to make sure that it can detect your Logger and/or Interface Cradle.
• Insert a (non-WiFi) Logger into the LTI-WiFi Interface Cradle. The recorded data is now automatically
downloaded into the Interface Cradle’s internal memory. The green ‘ready’ LED will turn off and the red
‘busy’ LED will turn on during the data exchange.
• If the download was successful, the green LED blinks and you can remove the Logger. The Interface
Cradle will now upload the data to the cloud server (LogTag Online), where they will be available for
viewing after a short time. If no cloud server connection is available, the data will be retained in the
Interface Cradle until a connection can be made.
If an error occurred the red ‘busy’ LED blinks. The most common causes for this are a low battery, dirty
Logger contacts or downloading a Logger while it’s still cold. You will also see this red LED blinking if you
don’t provide a password if required or cancel an operation mid-way.
The red activity LED will blink slowly when the Interface Cradle’s memory is full and no more Loggers can
be downloaded until the buffered data are uploaded to the cloud.
Your data will show up in your location (if this has been set up), otherwise it will show up in LogTag Drive.
More information about these different options can be found in the LogTag Online User Manual.
