Testing your wireless and network connection

You can verify that uploading data to the LogTag^® Online cloud server is working by initiating a Connection Test directly from the UTRED30-WiFi.

During the connection test the logger will

• connect to your wireless network using the network name and password you entered during the setup with the LogTag^® Online Connection Wizard.
• connect to the LogTag^® Online cloud server
• exchange a pre-defined set of messages with the cloud server that verify the device's identity.
• request any information from the server such as the current time
• upload any new temperature and event data that have been recorded since the last connection to the cloud server
• close the connection

This will give you immediate feedback if the logger's wireless and network settings were configured correctly.

To initiate the connection test, press and hold the FN and REVIEW/MARK buttons simultaneously for approx. 6 seconds. During this time the Upload arrow symbol () on the display blinks. Release the buttons when the symbol stops blinking and turns on permanently.
The UTRED30-WiFi will now attempt to access the wireless network (the WLAN symbol shows an empty circle). This process is typically very short, so you may not see this screen.
Once the UTRED30-WiFi has successfully connected to the wireless network (the WLAN symbol shows a tick) it will attempt to connect to the LogTag® Online cloud server (Cloud symbol shows an empty circle). Depending on network traffic this can take a few seconds.
The UTRED30-WiFi has successfully established a connection to the LogTag® Online cloud server (Cloud symbol shows a tick).
The UTRED30-WiFi is now exchanging data with LogTag® Online, indicated by an arrow inside the cloud symbol (). The arrow may turn on and off repeatedly during the data exchange.
The logger has successfully completed its initial connection process. The Cloud and WLAN symbols remain to indicate that the last connection was successful.

The Devices page in LogTag^® Online will be updated with the last connection time.

If the wireless or cloud communication fail, WLAN or Cloud symbols may show a cross. Please refer to the section about Troubleshooting (on page 1) for further details.

This connection test is performed automatically every time the UTRED30-WiFi takes the first reading of a new trip.

You can initiate this test manually at any other time, provided valid wireless and network conection settings are stored inthe logger.
