TBH, I don't know if this is hardware specific or not but I searched here and can't find the answer.
WMR200A
I've DLs/installed Cumulus. I have the hardware's network address. I can't find how to tell Cumulus where the hardware is on my network. On HELP, I can find info on Davis type and FTP but nothing on initial connection. If easier, just point me to the instructions.

Re: connecting to hardware
The WMR200 connects via USB to a PC. Cumulus has to run on that PC, and it finds the station automatically, it doesn't need any addresses. You just select WMR200 as the station type.

Re: connecting to hardware
Hmmm, maybe I described this incompletely. I have a WMR200A. It is currently connected to an Oregon Scientific LW300 and, from there, to my router. Works perfectly with osanywhereweather (which I don't like), Can I not access the 200A through my router?

Re: connecting to hardware
Not without something on the PC which makes it look like the WMR200 is connected to the PC, via USB. The only protocol information I have for the WMR200 is the USB protocol, and that's what I've implemented. I have no information on accessing a WMR200 in any other way. I have no information on any protocol used for communication with or via a LW300.

Re: connecting to hardware
Bummer. Is there such thing as a 50' USB cable? Through a wall?

Re: connecting to hardware
Maximum length for USB 2.0 is just over 16 feet. To get around this you would have to use hubs/repeaters, or something like USB over ethernet.
