  1. Open the viewLinc Enterprise Server user interface by double-clicking the desktop icon, or by entering the server's IP address and port in a web browser's address field.
  2. Log in with a user account that has the right to manage devices.
  3. When viewLinc detects new devices, New Devices text appears at the top of the screen. If there are any new devices:
    1. Click the New Devices text to open the New Devices window.
    2. Compare the list of new devices to your device installation plan to verify that all your devices have been found. In the Accept column, select each device you want to add.
    3. Select Save to register the selected devices with your viewLinc Enterprise Server.
  4. To access management options for accepted devices:
    1. Select Sites Manager > Hosts and Devices.
    2. Locate the device you want to manage from the device tree, right-click the entry of the device, and select Edit Properties. The Edit Device Properties window opens.
    3. In this window you can set some information fields that viewLinc uses (for example, Device alias) and some actual settings that are sent to the device. Note the following settings for VDL200:
      • Metric units enabled: Change the setting to No to display degrees Fahrenheit for temperature on the device display.
      • Device log level: Do not adjust this setting unless instructed by Vaisala to do so. Changing the setting will increase the power consumption of the device, which will reduce the battery backup time.
