10. Ethernet communications
option
The CR310 offers a 10/100 Ethernet connection. Use Device Configuration Utility to enter the data
logger IPAddress, Subnet Mask, and IPGateway address. After this, use the EZSetup Wizard to
set up communications with the data logger. If you already have the data logger IPinformation,
you can skip these steps and go directly to Setting up Ethernet communications between the
data logger and computer(p. 27). Watch a video at
https://www.campbellsci.com/videos/datalogger-ethernet-configuration or use the following
instructions.
10.1 Configuring data logger Ethernet settings
1. Supply power to the data logger. If connecting via USB for the first time, you must first
install USB drivers by using Device Configuration Utility (select your data logger, then on
the main page, click Install USBDriver). Alternately, you can install the USBdrivers using EZ
Setup. A USB connection supplies 5 V power (as well as a communications link), which is
adequate for setup, but a 12 V battery will be needed for field deployment.
2. Connect an Ethernet cable to the 10/100 Ethernet port on the data logger. The yellow and
green Ethernet port LEDs display activity approximately one minute after connecting. If you
do not see activity, contact your network administrator. For more information, see Ethernet
LEDs(p. 27).
3. Using data logger support software (LoggerNet, or PC400), open Device Configuration
Utility .
4. Select the CR300 Series data logger from the list
5. Select the port assigned to the data logger from the Communication Port list. If connecting
via Ethernet, select Use IPConnection.
6. By default, this data logger does not use a PakBus encryption key; so, the PakBus
Encryption Key box can be left blank. If this setting has been changed, enter the new code
or key. See Data logger security(p. 144) for more information.
