Scanning for available access points consumes power. To prevent repeated scanning from draining their batteries, CWL100 data loggers shut down their radio temporarily if they can find no access point to join. They will resume scanning after a waiting interval that gets progressively longer if they keep failing to find an access point. The maximum interval is approximately 1 hour.

This means that when access points become available after an outage, it may take up to an hour for data loggers to discover them. This is why you should always keep your access points powered up, and why you should install access points before data loggers.

You can manually wake up the radio of an CWL100 data logger by pressing its Info button. The button is located next to the service port under the silicone plug.
