Resetting the Datalogger
Reset Procedure
Once a WiFi connection has been established with the logger the AP gets hidden
and you will no longer be able to log on to the logger stick again. In this
case, you will need to reset the logger to be able to reconfigure it.
All the latest versions of the WiFi data loggers have an external “Reset”
button.
To reset the logger, hold the “Reset” button for at least 10 seconds until all
the LEDs go off and only the Power LED is illuminated. The data logger has now
been successfully reset. You should be able to search for the Solis_xxxxxx AP
and log on again following Step 1 to reconfigure.
