3.12.3. Joining a Network

When a logger is powered on or reset, it will automatically
scan for a network after the welcome message has appeared.
There are three scenarios that can occur while scanning for a
network:
Scenario 1: The logger can't find the last network that it was
connected to. For example, the logger is a new unit which was
never previously joined a network.
Scenario 2: The logger scans and finds the last network it
was connected to, and joins that network.
Scenario 3: The logger can't find any networks at all.
Scenario 4: The logger found a network but failed to join. The
unit will try to reconnect nine times before scanning for the
network again. Moving the unit closer to the Receiver can help
the logger to join successfully. If the logger still can't join, form
a new network.
Scenario 1
If the unit can't find the last network that it was connected to
(for example, it's a new unit), the unit will display all the
networks that are in range:
Scan for network
Where # is the number of networks found
Scan for network
Found # network
