MeteoBridge/WeatherBridge Setup
Posted: Wed Nov 27, 2013 5:47 pm
My apologies for duplicate posts through WxForums and Ambient Weather technical support emails on my setup problems. I was only recently directed to the Wiki and this forum, which seems a better way to deal with my issues.
I have a Davis VantageVue with USB WeatherLink Datalogger and have a Wunderground station account set up and working fine. I recently purchased a WeatherBridge (Ambient Weather branded Meteobridge) and USB2 hub to allow USB2 connection between the devices. I also have an Ambient Weather AIrCam which I have not installed yet.
I am able to connect to the MeteoBridge via my browser, and all lights are either solid green or flashing green for WLAN and Ethernet. I can't seem to get the interface to store my configuration, as detailed below:
1. System tab appears to save, with Locale/Lat/Long now appearing as entered, but LAN IP and LAN Mask are empty.
2. Setup Network tab - I enter my network information and click Save/Apply/Reboot; the unit reboots and all lights come back on green with WLAN and Ethernet flashing, indicating traffic.If I switch tabs and return, my Network Setup tab is no longer filled in.
3. On Select Station tab, four units have no Red X, one of them being the Davis VantageVue. I select the dot, fill in 290tf elevation and click Sve, get message back "System Message Data logger will restart now, caused by configuration changes." I'm not sure if this means the WeatherBridge Datalogger will restart, or if the WeatherBridge/MetwoBride was to have reboot, but no reboot occurs. If I switch to another tab and back, my Davis selection and elevation are not recorded.
4. Weather Network Tab: I add WU Station ID and PW, click save and get "System Message Meteobridge settings successfully reloaded" with green checks. Again, if I switch tabs and back, entries are not recorded.
5. Returning to Setup Network tab, I see message
"System MessageWizard: Please visit tab 'Select Station', finalize setup and press 'Save'
Wizard: Please visit tab 'Weather Networks', finalize setup and press 'Save'
Wizard: Please visit tab 'System', finalize setup and press 'save and apply'"
which suggests to me nothing is saved.
Thanks for the help.
