Configure WeatherLink Software
Walk through the following procedures to setup and configure your WeatherLink
software and the connection to your Weather Envoy.

Running the Software

To run the software, double-click the WeatherLink icon. If no stations have been
assigned in the program directory, the software prompts you to add a station (see below
for details).
If this is a software upgrade and if there is more than one station in the program
directory when the application opens, the last station that was displayed is automatically
opened.

Station Setup

The software includes a station setup "Walkthrough" that steps you through the weather
station configuration procedures. After adding a new station, the Walkthrough dialog
box automatically displays. By selecting Yes, Walkthrough begins. By selecting No, the
Walkthrough is canceled.
You can set up and configure your station by separately selecting all of the necessary
setup options from the Setup menu. A Walkthrough option is included in the Setup
menu which allows you to access the Walkthrough at any time.
During the Walkthrough process, the software displays a series of dialog boxes. At each
step in the Walkthrough process, confirmation boxes are provided to perform or skip the
next step in the Walkthrough. To continue, select OK. To skip this step and move to the
next step, select Skip. To cancel the entire Walkthrough process, select Cancel.
Note: Please refer to the WeatherLink Online Help for more information about the complete
Walkthrough process.

Communication Port Settings

WeatherLink contains a dialog box for configuring the communication channel for your
WeatherLinkIP data logger. Use the Communications Port dialog box to select the
communications type and to test communication between the computer and the station.
1. Select Communications Port from the Setup menu or use the Walkthrough to
display the dialog box.
The Communications Port dialog box displays.
2. Select TCP/IP from the Communications field.
