The wizard displays a scanning status, showing the device serial number, configured WiFi, and registration status.
Connecting to your WiFi Network

Passwords are case-sensitive. Select the eye icon [Show Password] to view the password you entered.

Remote Configuration through LogTag Online
LogTag Online is a secure online application that stores the data recorded from your logger against your account. Once your device is connected to your network, it can be configured remotely through LogTag Online. Profile and timezone can be configured for the logger.
Ensure your device is plugged into your computer using the USB cable provided. If the profile is shown as pending configuration, you can speed up the connection between your logger and LogTag Online by pressing and holding both the 'CHANNEL FUNCTION' and 'REVIEW/MARK' buttons on the logger simultaneously for approximately 6 seconds.
The 'Edit Device' window shows the DEVICE NAME and DEVICE CONFIGURATION PROFILE (e.g., 'Generic Ambient', Status: 'Pending'). Options include 'DELETE DEVICE', 'CLOSE', and 'SAVE'.
