Getting Started Guide Manual

USB CONNECTION

Note: The user interface will be displayed on only one hardware connection (Wi-Fi or USB device

cable) at a time. The USB Wi-Fi connection takes precedence when plugged in. Thus if using the

USB device cable, be sure to have the USB Wi-Fi adaptor unplugged from the data logger. Or if

the USB device cable is currently active, the Wi-Fi adaptor will have no effect when plugged in (i.e.

the Wi-Fi signal will not be activated). The USB device cable supports a single connection whereas

multiple devices can connect to the Wi-Fi adaptor at the same time.

To wirelessly connect to the Storm 3 data logger, either plug in the USB Wi-Fi adaptor or, if the

Wi-Fi adaptor is already connected to the Storm, press the Wi-Fi button on the front of the Storm to

enable the Wi-Fi connection. The Storm will begin setting up a Wi-Fi hotspot. After a few seconds

an internal LED on the Wi-Fi adaptor will begin blinking, indicating the hotspot connection is ready.

The hotspot connection will typically become available within ten seconds.

Once the hotspot is active, navigate to the Wi-Fi networks setting of your Wi-Fi enabled device.

Refreshing the list should reveal a Storm Wi-Fi hotspot. Connect to the hotspot. Connecting to the

hotspot’s network generally occurs within ten seconds. After successfully connecting, open a web

browser and navigate to http://172.20.20.20/. If the hotspot connection was successful, the Storm

3 user interface will appear in the browser window.
