The NL200 Network Link Interface allows Campbell Scientific dataloggers to communicate over a local area network or a dedicated Internet connection. This Ethernet interface can be connected to either the datalogger’s CS I/O port or RS-232 port.
The NL200 Network Link Interface is a device used to communicate with Campbell Scientific dataloggers and peripherals using an Ethernet 10/100 Mbps communications link. The NL200 includes a CS I/O port and a RS-232 port for communication. A USB device port is used for configuring the NL200 device.
The NL200 can be configured to bridge Ethernet and CS I/O communications allowing access to the internal IP functionality of the CR800/850, CR1000, and CR3000 (e.g., web page access, email, FTP). Alternatively, the NL200 can be configured to act as a Serial Server and/or a PakBus Router. Additionally, the NL200 can act as TLS Proxy Server.

Notes:
* Although compatible, the CR9000X does not need an Ethernet interface because it has an on-board Ethernet port.
** It is possible to use an NL200 to connect to a mixed-array data logger (e.g., CR10, CR10X, CR23X, 21X, CR7) by using an SC32B between the data logger's CS I/O port and the NL200's RS-232 port.
Current NL200 / NL201 firmware. Requires the Device Configuration Utility and a USB micro cable.
Note: When updating to OS 10.03 from OS 6 or previous, settings will be reinitialized to factory defaults. When updating to OS 10.03 from OS 7, settings will be retained.
