How to fix Vaisala Wireless Access Point AP10 not connected to viewLinc?
- J
  Jessica SmithAug 15, 2025
  If your Vaisala Wireless Access Point AP10 displays 'Not connected to viewLinc', the issue could stem from several causes. First, verify and correct the AP10's network settings to ensure it can join the network. Second, check and correct the AP10's viewLinc settings to ensure it has the correct address for the viewLinc Enterprise Server. Also, confirm that your firewall isn't blocking the viewLinc communication port (the default port is 12600). Finally, ensure the Ethernet cable is properly connected to the AP10, the activity LEDs on the Ethernet connector are flashing, and contact your local IT support to rule out any network outage.

Why Vaisala Wireless Access Point AP10 data loggers are not connecting in installation mode?
- A
  Alexandra HarperAug 21, 2025
  If your Vaisala Wireless Access Point AP10 is in installation mode but data loggers aren't connecting, it could be because the data loggers have temporarily turned off their radio to conserve battery. In this case, you should wait patiently, as connections can take several minutes. If a data logger has been out of contact for a long time, it may keep its radio off for up to eight hours. Another reason could be that the AP10 cannot start its radio communication because it does not have accurate time from a network time protocol (NTP) server. Verify that the AP10 is configured to connect to the correct NTP server and that the NTP server is accessible from the network. Note that internet access is required to reach the default NTP servers.

What to do if Vaisala AP10 Wireless Access Point displays 'Not connected to NTP'?

  If your Vaisala Wireless Access Point displays 'Not connected to NTP', it could be for one of two reasons. If the AP10 has just started up and lost accurate time during a power off, wait for it to synchronize with the NTP servers. If the AP10 has been unable to synchronize for more than three weeks, check the NTP settings and take corrective action to ensure at least one of the listed NTP servers is reachable by the AP10.

  If your Vaisala Wireless Access Point AP10 display turns off by itself, it's likely because the display has been configured to turn off automatically. Check the display and LED settings of AP10 and configure them as desired.

  If your Vaisala Wireless Access Point AP10 displays 'Not connected to viewLinc', it could be due to several reasons. First, the AP10 network settings might be incorrect, so verify that the device can join the network and correct any errors. Second, the AP10 might not have the correct address for the viewLinc Enterprise Server; check and correct the viewLinc settings on the AP10. Third, a firewall could be blocking the necessary communication port; ensure that connections between the AP10 and the viewLinc Enterprise Server are allowed on port 12600 (the default port). Finally, there might be a network outage; check the Ethernet connection cable, ensure the activity LEDs on the Ethernet connector are flashing, and contact your local IT support.

Why are data loggers not connecting to my Vaisala Wireless Access Point AP10 in installation mode?
- K
  Kimberly NelsonSep 5, 2025
  If your Vaisala Wireless Access Point AP10 is in installation mode but data loggers are not connecting, the data loggers may have temporarily turned off their radio to conserve battery. Please wait patiently, as connections can take several minutes. If a data logger has been out of contact with an access point for a long time, it may keep its radio off for up to eight hours. Alternatively, the AP10 might not have accurate time from a network time protocol (NTP) server, preventing radio communication. Verify that the AP10 is configured to connect to the correct NTP server and that the NTP server is accessible from the network. Note that internet access is required to reach the default NTP servers.
