NL240 Wireless Network Link Interface
• Ensure the NL240 is powered.
• Connect the supplied USB cable between a USB port on your computer
and the USB port on the NL240.
• Open DevConfig.
• Under Device Type, select Network Peripheral | NL240.
• Click the Browse button next to Communication Port.
• Select the virtual com port labeled NL240.
• Click OK.
• Click Connect.
• Click on the Wi-Fi tab.
• By default, the NL240 will attempt to connect to the strongest, unsecured
network available. This network will be shown in the Status field. If this
is not the network you wish to connect to, press the browse button next to
the SSID field. A dialog box showing all of the available wireless
networks will be displayed. Select the network you wish to connect to and
click OK. If this is a secured network, enter the password in the
Password field.
• Click on the NL240 tab.
• To enter a static IP address, select disable in the Use DHCP field. Then
input the IP Address, Network Mask, and Default Gateway. These
values can be provided by your network administrator.
• If a dynamic address is to be used, the network information acquired via
DHCP can be seen on the NL240 tab. (Note that if you have selected a
different network than the default network, you will need to press Apply
to save this change, then press the Connect button to reconnect to the
NL240 and view the network information.)
• Click Apply to save your changes.
It is recommended that a static IP address be given to the NL240
for most applications so that the path to the device is always
known. If using a dynamic IP address acquired via DHCP, you
may wish to configure the NL240 as a PakBus/TCP client.
