Davis Instruments Perception II Getting Started Manual page 7

Note: You do not need to keep the console connected to the computer for the logging to
work. You can connect the cable to the computer when you're ready to download,
then disconnect it if you want to place the console somewhere else. However, you
can only run WeatherLink's bulletin, summary, or other real-time windows if the con-
sole is attached to the computer.
8. Check the Baud rate settings on the console.
Enter the console SETUP mode by pressing and holding the DONE key, then
pressing the DOWN arrow key. Use the BAR and DONE keys to scroll to the
Baud Rate screen. The Baud Rate setting here on the console must be same as
that set in the WeatherLink software. Use the UP and DOWN arrow keys to
change the baud rate setting, if needed. Press and hold DONE to return the
console to current weather mode.

Use a remote modem installation to connect your computer to a remote Vantage
Pro station. A remote modem installation involves connecting the data logger to
the weather station and to a modem at the station console site and connecting
your computer's modem to a phone line, which will allow you to dial the weather
station.
Note: Before installing the console and modem at a remote location, test the data logger
and connection first using a direct connection like that shown in the section above.
Remote Modem Installation Instructions
1. Install and set up an internal or external modem (according to the instructions
supplied by the manufacturer) for use with your computer.
Make a note of the COM port used by the modem. You will need this informa-
tion when entering serial port settings for the station.
