.

You are adding a new RFL100
Data Logger to the system but
it is not coming up as a 

New

Device

 in viewLinc.

RFL100 is not in range of an
AP10 that has 

installation

mode

 turned on, and capacity

to add more data loggers
(maximum 32 for each AP10).

Turn on installation mode in an
AP10 that is within 100 m of the
data logger, and has capacity
to add more data loggers.

RFL100 is connected to an
AP10 that is not connected to
viewLinc.

Verify the following:

• AP10 is connected to the

network and has an IP
address.

• AP10 is configured to

connect to the correct
viewLinc Enterprise Server.

• viewLinc connection of the

AP10 is OK.

RFL100 has been previously
accepted to a different
viewLinc system.

Press the 

Release

 button of the

RFL100 and verify that the
message 

NWK REL

 appears on

screen. The RFL100 is now
ready to join any AP10 that is in
installation mode.

RFL100 has joined an AP10 but
has not been accepted to the
viewLinc system. The AP10 is
no longer in range, but RFL100
cannot change to a different
access point as it is pending to
be accepted to the system.
