“Keep Logger On Line” This is used to force LoggerNet to stay
connected to the station the entire time the
LoggerNet server is open. This is desirable
when there are short collection intervals.
The default settings are shown below. The Host is the computer that is
running LoggerNet. This is why the “LocalHost” is shown in this case
as LoggerNet is running on the same machine as the RDE. The Port
setting will almost always be set to 6789. The User name and Password
are for LoggerNet security. The Logger Name must be the name of the
logger previously set up in the Net Admin. This will allow the
LoggerNet program to communicate with other loggers (not interfaced
with the sign) and allow the user to select the name for the logger that
sign data will come from. The Keep Logger Online check box will
allow the user to force the LoggerNet server to connect to the station
and stay connected. This is desirable when the collection interval in Net
Admin is set to 1 or 2 minute or less. It may be unchecked so that a
slower collection interval may be used. This will decrease the power
consumption of the station in case a solar panel is used. It has proven
useful in AC powered stations as well when AC power is unreliable and
the sign/station administrator will be gone for an extended period of
time (weekend). They can set the collection interval to a longer one and
make it so that the logger will connect every 15 minutes or so. This
way if the power does go out for a couple of days, the modem won’t run
the battery down too low.
Put the LoggerNet server in the startup menu so that it is started each
time the computer is booted. This will cause the station to
automatically re-establish connections with the sign when an auto
reboot is done.
