Introduction
Using the MSR145W2D (logger) enables you to: Download data (records) locally stored on the logger to a PC via USB cable.
 Store, analyse and download measurement data from MSR145W2D in MSR SmartCloud.
 Save current measurement data (since the MSR145W2D began actively connecting to the
network) to a PC that is connected to the local area network.
 Display measurement data on the local area network on a connected PC in a browser andcreate snapshots (MSR LocalViewer).
 Process measurement data using WiFi integration of the logger in a LabView®
environment (see separate instructions).
Background:With an established WiFi connection, the logger always connects to a background process(server) that makes the measurement data available for its respective application (e.g. MSR
SmartCloud or MSR LocalViewer). Either this server is accessed globally via an internet
connection, as with the MSR SmartCloud, or it is accessed via the local area network to which
the logger is connected via WiFi if the MSR LocalViewer or MSR LabViewer applications fordisplaying and processing measurement data are installed and open.
Notice:Data stored in the logger via the Logger default function "Data Recording/Record" can only beread out via the direct connection logger - PC via USB cable.

1. Data transfer from MSR145W2D to MSR SmartCloud
Prior to transferring measurement data to the MSR SmartCloud, an MSR SmartCloud user
account must be created and the data logger must be registered there. For instructions on how toproceed, please refer to the sheet with the activation code that you received with the data logger.
Alternatively, the activation code for the data logger can be requested from the MSR customer
service.

1.1. Sending data through an existing WiFi network to the MSR SmartCloud

For this option you do not require any additional hardware, as it uses the existing network
infrastructure.
In order to be able to send the current measurement values and/or recorded data to the MSR
SmartCloud via an existing network, the logger must be connected to this wireless local area
network (WiFi). The network must have Internet access. If this is not possible, we recommend
variant 1.2.
Enter the configuration data required by the data logger in the setup program of the MSR PC
software under "WiFi":

 Connect the MSR145W2D to the PC using a USB cable (see also the
MSR145W2D Quick Reference Guide www.msr.ch/en/msr145w2d
 Start the MSR PC program (For download and installation: please refer towww.msr.ch/en/support/pcsoftware).
 Run setup.
 "WLAN/WiFi” tab Please enter settings (see also Appendix A2):
 Network (SSID): Name of the WiFi network in which the logger should be
integrated.
 Network Key (WPA 2): Enter the corresponding WiFi password for WPA 2.
 Destination: URL -> MSR Smartcloud as target to choose.

For testing the WiFi connection for the first time, activate the WiFi of the logger connected to thecable via the "Activating status" tab. To check, the status of the WiFi connection of the logger
must then be "read".

 If the "ready" and "WiFi on" indicators for status and result appear, the logger issuccessfully connected to your WiFi network and the SmartCloud server and themeasurement data is sent.
 For more details, tips and assistance, please refer to Appendix A1, A2 andA3.

The logger's WiFi module on the MSR145W2D is autonomously activated and deactivated for theperiod of use: Press the data logger button to activate the display. Press and hold the button
again until the "WiFi" option appears.
 -> Release and press the button again: The data logger now connects to the WiFi
network.
 Press the button again to deactivate the logger's WiFi module.
 By pressing and holding the button again, the "State" option appears. The OLED
display shows the same setup status information as described above.

1.2. Sending data through an additional WiFi network to the MSR SmartCloudIn this option a standalone WiFi network and internet access using the mobile web are
established – e.g. through a Fritz!Box. In order to be able to send the current measurement
values and/or recorded data to the MSR SmartCloud via an independent network with a wirelessconnection established specifically for the measurement task, you must connect the logger to thiswireless local area network (WiFi). The network must have Internet access (e.g. via LTE).


Appendix A4 provides a description of how to set up an independent WiFi connection
using as an example the Fritz!Box 6820 LTE in conjunction with a corresponding mobile
phone SIM card.

Enter the configuration data required by the data logger in the setup program of the MSR
PC software under "WiFi":
 To set up the MSR145W2D connect a suitable PC to the independent network.
 Start the MSR PC program (download and installation: refer to www.msr.ch/en/support/pcsoftware) Connect the MSR145W2D to the PC using the USB cable (refer also to the
MSR145W2D quick start guide, www.msr.ch/msr145w2d).

2. Data transmission from MSR145W2D to a local application (no internet accessrequired)
The following MSR applications are available for processing your measurement data in the local
area network:

MSR LocalViewer
MSR LabViewer

The MSR145W2D LocalViewer requires a release from the operating system to receive data from
the MSR145W2D data loggers – check Appendix 5, please.

2.1. Sending data through an existing WiFi network to a local application

example 192.168.1.11
In this option you do not require any additional hardware, as it uses the existing network
infrastructure. There is no Internet access needed, as the measuring data are sent to a local
application directly.
Various local applications are available in the download area at www.msr.ch/de/msr145w2d.

Notice:Before commissioning on the local system, it is helpful to save the current installation files (ZIParchives) for the MSR PC software and the MSR application on a mobile data storage device inorder to make them available to the PC that you will subsequently use.
Please install the latest version of the MSR application (see above) on your PC (a link to
the MSR website with the latest version can be found in the download section atwww.msr.ch/de/msr145w2d)Please start the application. This will open e.g. the MSR LocalViewer window in yourstandard browser.

Appendix A1: Connect PC to the WiFi network
 Connect the PC to the WLAN/WiFi in which the MSR145W2D ("Logger") should be
integrated. To do this select the relevant network (SSID) under "Network" in
Windows® and enter the password. Remember both and have them at hand.
 As an alternative the PC can also be connected to the relevant router using a network
cable.
 If a network connection has been established, please determine the network address(IP address) assigned to the PC:
 For example: In Windows® open the command prompt / right click on the Windows
symbol -> select Windows Powershell -> enter "ipconfig" and press "Enter". The IPv4
address of the PC and the standard gateway (the address of the network/WiFi routerin which the PC is located and in which the logger should be integrated.
 Please remember the IPv4 address of the PC.
Notice: It is recommended to make the IPv4 address of the PC in the router static or
to assign a name to the PC in the network. For a setup example, please refer to"Example” below: Local area network with the Fritz!Box 6820 LTE" - please refer toAppendix A4.

Appendix A4: Additional network using the Fritz!Box 6820 LTE
In order to set up an additional network, optionally with internet access via mobile radio, formeasurement tasks with the MSR145W2D, the AVM Fritz!Box 6820 LTE for example is suitable.
This and an appropriate SIM card that can be used in many countries are available on requestfrom MSR Electronics GmbH.
Basic configuration:(1)

Commissioning and assignment of the SSID ( WiFi name) of the modem as described in
the modem operating manual.

(2)

Activate the WiFi connection of the MSR145W2D.

(3)Connect the PC to the network (cable or WiFi) - see also Appendix A1.

Result:(4)

Run Fritz!Box setup with "fritz.box" in the web browser and then log in with the Fritz!Box
password.

(5)

In "Home network > network" the actively used PC should be listed with name and IP
address. The active data logger is marked with "MSR" and the serial number or with"espressif" for older models.

(6)

The details of the user or network device can be viewed or adjusted in "Edit (pencil icon)".

The same IPv4 address can also be assigned to the network device, which means that
the IPv4 address of the PC stored in the MSR145W2D during the setup process is always
assigned to the PC by the modem/router (e.g. after a network reboot).

(8)

The WiFi access of WiFi devices can be controlled under " WiFi > Security". By default, alldevices are allowed WiFi access.
