NL120 Ethernet Module 1. Introduction Campbell Scientific's NL120 Ethernet Module enables 10Base-T Ethernet communications. It allows the datalogger to communicate over a local network or a dedicated Internet connection via TCP/IP. This small, rugged communication device connects to the 40-pin peripheral port on a CR1000 or CR3000 datalogger. This manual describes how to use LoggerNet to connect to your datalogger with an NL120 attached. You can also use other software packages such as PC400, RTDAQ, or LoggerLink Mobile Apps for iOS and Android. Before using the NL120, please study: • Section 2, Cautionary Statements • Section 3, Initial Inspection • Section 4, Quickstart The Quickstart section explains how to quickly begin using an NL120 for straightforward Ethernet communications. Section 6 describes in detail the TCP/IP functionality of the NL120. 2. Cautionary Statements • The NL120 is rugged, but it should be handled as a precision scientific instrument. • The 28033 Surge Suppressor and/or a shielded, 10Base-T Ethernet cable should be used for locations susceptible to power surges and for cable length longer than 9 ft. • Always power down the datalogger before installing or removing the NL120 to or from the datalogger. • The first time an NL120 is attached to a datalogger, the datalogger's memory has to be reorganized to allow room in memory for the IP stack. To avoid the loss of data, collect your data before attaching the NL120 to a datalogger. 3. Initial Inspection Upon receipt of the NL120, inspect the packaging and contents for damage. File damage claims with the shipping company. 1
