Now set up the MLogger’s router with the IP address obtained from the satellite
modem. These next steps apply only to the Netgear RP114 router (dark blue color

http://192.168.123.254

Password: 0il-field (the 0 in oil-field is a zero).

After the password is entered correctly a white window with a dark blue border
will appear. At the left is a menu. Click on Wizard Setup and an orange
window will appear. Go to the bottom of this page and click on Next. Do the
