Introduction
ELPRO network datalogger series are designed for recording various physical signals like temperature and relative
humidity via a network.
The data is stored in the internal memory and can be loaded
to the PC via the LAN network. The system offers the very
highest of data safety as the datalogger continues logging
for months even in the event of a power failure running from
its own internal lithium battery (Except LA8 and WA8). Multiple level alarm features are built in for local or network alarming in for any user set out of range conditions.

1. General Informations
1.1 IP Addressing
General Informations
The IP addressing determines the bases of the connection
of a client on the datalogger. For constant access we recommend static IP. In elproLOG CONFIG the datalogger with the
respective IP address is stored. If this is not fixed, the monitoring function of the elproLOG MONITOR cannot be ensured.
ATTENTION
For safety reason we recommend to use static IP
adresses.
1.1.1 DHCP
If you want to use DHCP, configure the DHCP service in
such a way that the assigned IP address of the dataloggers
do not change.
For more details about the DHCP service ask your IT
personel.

Dynamic IP

1.2 PoE- Power over Ethernet
D Voltage supply over ethernet
D Special switch or Hub with support of PoE
D Use of the two unused pairs of wires.
ATTENTION
We recommend power transmission over the two unused pairs (spare-wire).
1.3 WLAN - Wireless LAN
The Wireless LAN dataloggers are a common wireless client
devices and support different standards such as
IEEE802.11b and EEE802.11i.
Characteristics PoED No power sockets next to the datalogger
Spare-wire
Check environment with
your IT personel.

We recommend to use a standard (open shared)
Access Point to connect to the datalogger(s) and to
configure the settings for the internal wireless environment.

1.3.1 General Guidelines
We recommend to specified the following items before install
a wireless environment:
• Signal strenght, channel, etc.
• Place and location of the devices
• Client with elproLOG MONITOR should be connected
over ethernet LAN.
• Standard Settings (Open shared)
- NO security settings
- DHCP (For first configuration possibilities)
• Compatible with 802.11b adapters
• WPA/WPA2/ (Wireless Protected Access)
•MAC Filter

D Is it possible to insert new devices?
D Existing safety guidelines can be configured on the
datalogger?
Each additional node of a wireless network affects
the entire Wireless environment.
D Is it possible to operate parallel with further wireless
network?
D Other WLAN restrictions (channel,...)

Placement
General Informations
We recommend to measure the environment previous, in
order to be able to determine locations of the datalogger and
access points. Wireless connection will be stronger the closer the devices are to the Access Point.
Nuisance
Objects that can inhibit wireless communication include:
• Other wireless environments
•Microwave
• Refrigerators
• Metal cabinets
• Large aquariums
• Metallic-based UV tinted windows

3. Digi Device Discovery Tool
3.1 Overview
The main challenge is getting the Digi Module to associate
with the network. Once this is accomplished the digi can be
further configured by using the Digi Device Discovery web
interface.
3.1.1 Status at Delivery
At delivery the datalogger is ready for use. Only the respective IP address or special wireless settings have to be configured.
3.1.2 Digi Device Discovery
Here, the most important features can be configured, i.e. you
can make TCP/IP settings, restart the module and open the
web interface.
3.1.3 Web Interface
The web interface is needed for configuring the network
parameters of the datalogger. (e.g. wireless specification)
