Hello everyone, I hope can help me with this question
I want to program the datalogger model CR800 to send emails when the temperature of my station reaches a certain value, I am using a NL100 and I have a public IP address.
I did this with the CR1000 and NL120 but I have problems with the CR800.
I think the configuration of the NL100 and CR800 is something different to do this and I'm not sure what changes should be made using the Dev config
Do you have some idea to start or test?
Thank you in advance
The NL100 doesn't activate the web features of the CR800 like the NL120 does with the CR1000 or CR3000. The current way that the CR800 gets its web/email capability activated is only when it makes a PPP (Point-to-point protocol) connection to a modem (including cell phone modems such as the Raven class modems). The only other way to activate this feature set on the CR800/850 is with the "soon to be released" NL200 device.
Thank you very much for the reply,
Could you give me some clues to send emails from the logger using PPP? I'm not sure how to start doing this, surely I must change some settings in the CR800 and NL100, also saw some instructions (PPPclose PPPopen) and surely need to enter this in the program,
If you have any examples or hints I'd appreciate it
Best regards
You can't use the email feature of the CR800/CR850 when using it with the NL100. You have to use a modem in place of the NL100, and then the CR800 will usually talk "PPP" behind the scenes without requiring any explicit CRBasic programming (other than PPPOpen/PPPClose).
So you need to use either a modem or an NL200 instead of the NL100.
understood, thank you very much.
I see the possibility of getting a NL200.
Best Regards
Hello:
Now i have a NL200, but have some difficult please can you help me a little?
1.- For send emails from the CR800 what option have i use in NL200? Bridge=ON or Bridge=OFF??
2.- If bridge is ON all the IP configuratios are made inside the CR800, but i dont find where are the serial server port number (I use the CSIO port of the logger), example: 200.58.77.1: ???? (where are the port number??
3.- If bridge is Off the settings are introduce inside the NL200, but where i have to introduce the serial server port number for CSIO??
I hope you can help, try some settings today but I had no success in establishing connection
thank you
best regards
When bridge mode is used, the datalogger uses the NL200 as an interface for its own network stack. This mode is what is required so that the datalogger can exercise net protocols such as email and ftp. In order to use bridge mode, your datalogger will need to have the latest os installed and you will also need the latest version of the device configuration utility. Once you have enabled bridge mode on the nl200 and plugged it into the CS I/O port of the datalogger, the rest of the configuration wil take place on your logger. Depending on whether your local area network supports DHCP, you may have to confgure the CS I/O address, network mask, and gateway (these will be needed if a DHCP server is not available). You may also have to configure the name zerver addresses as well.
If the nl200 and the logger are configured correctly, you should be able to see the status in the TCP/IP setting and you should also be able to ping the logger address.
