run
ipconfig
from a DOS prompt
that will show the router and PC’s IP address
e.g
192.168.2.1
and
192.168.2.2
then the Data logger will be allocated the next one by your router (or the next one again if there is another IP device connected (or it could be that the IP logger gets allocated before that other IP device)
i.e
192.168.2.3
note that if you change the router, then you will need to power down the console to get it to reset the DHCP IP address of the data logger
then repeat the above
another way:
use your router, i.e direct access via a browser, (e.g 192.168.0.1 or similar)
then use the the client list in the router
there you should see the IP address of the IP data logger, beside the DID number (thats on the side of the data logger plug to LAN cable)
then enter that IP address into WD, in the com port setup, Davis IP setup
(after first selecting a Davis VP/Vue station in the weather station type setup)
and tick enable
then click on ok
then exit, save and exit
and then start up WD again
there is also debug info under view, WS2010/WS2500 data setup
