WeatherLinkIP Hardware Installation
To display the Baud Rate settings on a Vantage Vue console, make sure the
data logger is installed and then continue using the following procedures:
• Enter the console Setup Mode by pressing and holding DONE, then press-
ing the (-) key.
• Press BAR to get to the Baud Rate settings screen:
Use the up (+) and down (-) arrows to change the Baud Rate setting, if needed.
Press and hold DONE to return the console to the current weather mode.
• Use the fastest Baud Rate your computer can handle. 19200 is the fastest
Baud Rate available and is the default setting on the console.
• Press and hold DONE when you have the correct Baud Rate on the console
screen
Note: The data logger does not require a constant connection with a computer to continue
logging and storing data. Although the data logger should remain connected to the
console at all times, the data logger needs to be connected to the computer only when
data is being downloaded or when the computer is actively using data from the data
logger. The data logger and console can be disconnected from the computer if they are
placed in a location where the data logger cable cannot reach. However, WeatherLink’s
bulletin, summary, or other real-time window displays are accessible only if the data
logger and console are connected to the computer.
WeatherLinkIP Hardware Installation
Complete the WeatherLinkIP hardware installation by using the instructions
below:
1. Locate the console or Weather Envoy that will receive the WeatherLinkIP
connection.
2. For consoles only: Enter the console’s Setup Mode by pressing and hold-
ing DONE, then pressing the down arrow (-). Entering Setup Mode
ensures that the station is not writing any data and saves the current daily
weather information to memory.
3. Remove the battery cover, the batteries, and AC-power adapter, if present.
Note: Failure to remove power to the console or Envoy before installing the data logger may
cause damage to the data logger or console. Plugging or unplugging the data logger
while power is applied can lock up or damage the data logger.
4. Firmly insert the WeatherLinkIP data logger into the large receptacle
marked EXPANSION inside the battery compartment.
5. Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the WeatherLinkIP data logger.
