connection you want to setup:
• Local Device ID — Connects to the WeatherLinkIP data logger through a Local
Area Network connection. Use this option if your computer is on the same subnet
as your WeatherLinkIP data logger.
• Remote IP Address — Connects the WeatherLinkIP data logger and station to
the WeatherLink Software through a remote connection using an IP address. This
connection generally requires a static IP address.
Note: This option is only used if your WeatherLinkIP-equipped Envoy is at a location on the Internet that
is remote from the location of the computer on which your are running your WeatherLink
software. It is an advanced setup option. See the WeatherLink Online Help for more information.

Set Transceiver
Your Weather Envoy is set at the factory to “listen” to the ISS with ID 1. Since the
transmitter ID of your ISS has also been factory set to ID 1, you should not have to
change this setting. However, if you do change the ISS ID, use the Set Transceiver
dialog box to change your Weather Envoy to the “listen” to the new ID.
Note: This dialog box is the only available tool for configuring the transmitter ID and repeater ID settings
on your Weather Envoy.
To set transceiver options:
1. Select Set Transceiver from the Setup menu; the dialog box displays.
Select a Station Type for each of the possible eight transmitter IDs the Envoy may be
receiving. See the WeatherLink Online Help System for more information on
configuring the stations, the retransmit feature and configuring the Envoy for using
repeaters.
