Configuring the NL241 with Device Configuration Utility via Wi‑Fi WLAN

NOTE:

The NL241 is configured by default to host an open Wi-Fi network and have an IP address of 192.168.67.1. The network name will follow the pattern “NL241_SerialNumber.”

  1. Apply power to the NL241.

  2. The NL241 will power up and either create or join a Wi-Fi network. After successfully joining or creating a network, the LED will flash with network activity. Note that the LED may only flash once every few seconds on the created network or an idle network.

  3. If the device is configured to create a network, the computer must join the NL241-created network. If the NL241 has been previously configured to join a network, join the same network with your computer.

  4. Open Device Configuration Utility.

  5. Under Device Type, select Network Peripheral > NL241.

  6. Select Use IP Connection.

  7. Type the IP address of the device in the Communication Port field. (If the address of the device is unknown and the device is connected to your local area network, Browse to discover the devices on the network.) The IP address must be followed by :6786 (for example, 192.168.10.55:6786) in order to connect the device configuration service.

  8. Type NL241 in the Administrative Password box. (nl241 is the default administrative password. It can be changed via the Device Configuration Utility Deployment > NL241 tab.)

  9. Click OK.

  10. Click Connect.

  11. Configure the NL241 as needed for your application.

  12. Click Apply to save the changes.
