Remote Connection for Vantage Pro Weather Stations
You can connect your computer to a remote Vantage Pro weather station using a
modem. This involves connecting the data logger to the weather station and to a
modem at the weather station site and connecting your computer’s modem to a
phone line.
At Your Computer:
Note: Before installing the console and modem at a remote location, test the data logger
first using a local connection as described previously.
1. If you don’t have a modem, install and set up an internal or external modem
according to the instructions supplied by the manufacturer.
2. Connect the modem to the phone line.
At Your Weather Station Console:
3. Place the external modem in a location where it can connect to both the
WeatherLink data logger and to the phone jack. Do not turn the modem on
at this time.
4. Plug the external modem into the phone jack.
5. Put the Vantage Pro console in setup mode.
Press and hold the [DONE] key, then press [-] key. Entering Setup Mode
ensures the station is not writing any data to memory and saves all current
highs, lows, and daily totals.
