Housing screws (do not remove) 2.3 VaiNet devices in viewLinc Monitoring System VaiNet access points create links between Ethernet and Vaisala devices using the VaiNet protocol. Wireless device registration is handled by viewLinc Enterprise Server. Whenever a new data logger is added to the system, it is automatically identified by an access point, which forwards the data logger’s information to the server. -
Page 12: Data Transfer In A Vainet Network
AP10 User Guide M211860EN-E VaiNet wireless devices are not limited to using a single access point. If multiple access points are available, VaiNet devices can switch access points to maintain their connection to the viewLinc Monitoring System. The strength of the wireless signal is used to determine the optimum network data path. -
Page 13: Time Synchronization
AP10 has a supercapacitor as a backup power source for its realtime clock. If AP10 is left without power for more than a day, the realtime clock will lose its time. If this happens AP10 will have to synchronize its clock with the NTP servers before it can operate its radio. This is typically the case when an AP10 is installed - it needs to synchronize its clock before it can start to connect VaiNet data loggers. -

Page 16: Installation
3.1 AP10 installation location and range In a typical indoor space, the wireless range of AP10 is at least 100 m (328 ft). In an open space with line-of-sight and no interfering structures, the range can be over 500 m (1640 ft). Up to 8 access points can be placed within range of each other, even side-by-side, as long as they each have their own VaiNet channel. -
