Backup power for the console is better provided by plugging the mains adapter into a small PC UPS unit (eg an APC BE400-UK unit, for UK users). Using an IP logger is the one configuration where we recommend not fitting console batteries because they can lead to unpredictable operation in the event of a power outage. So, for reliable operation, a WLIP console must be externally-powered, typically by means of the standard AC mains adapter. The WLIP has a high power requirement because of its need to drive an Ethernet network and internal console batteries typically cannot provide sufficient power to run the IP logger. Check that the mains adapter is connected, powered-up and working.If beeps are fewer than expected then this suggests some type of hardware issue, which needs to be investigated before continuing with other troubleshooting steps Always try a console reboot as a first step and always check that the number of beeps (as listed in the Reboot topic) is correct. Reboot the console: If there has been a power or network outage then the WLIP logger may need to reinitialise, which can only be done by power-cycling the console. General points: In all cases of failed uploads there are always three points to check first: Prodata support can only check account settings and test downloads if you provide us with the account name and password.ġ. If there is an issue that cannot be resolved with the help provided here then it may be necessary to email Davis support directly on – please remember time differences and that it may sometimes take 2-3 days for a response. Prodata support does not have the access permissions to do so. !Only technicians at Davis support have the ability to look in detail inside an account at. The Keycode value provides an essential initial verification when eg setting up an account at, but otherwise is not used. If you’re attempting to enter a DID but it’s not being accepted, be sure to check that you’re not inadvertently entering the letter ‘O’ rather than the digit ‘0’. NB All round characters are the digit zero ‘0’ – the letter ‘O’ is never used. The DID is a Device ID and is actually identical to the logger’s network MAC address consisting of a 6-byte sequence of 12 hexadecimal characters usually formatted as 6 colon-separated pairs, eg 00:1D:0A:00:02:3B.It can be useful to have a note of this DID value for checking purposes because it will crop in various places for example when finding out the logger’s IP address. Important: DID values Every WeatherlinkIP logger has two unique values associated with it – a DID and a Keycode value, which will be found on a small label on the side of the logger’s RJ45 socket (and not on the logger itself). This change is made clearer if you update to v6.0.5 (or later) of Weatherlink for Windows as described in the Download topic. The ‘User’ field now requires the DID for the WLIP logger to be entered rather than the account username as previously. !
