HELP!! Can't get data on MBW
« on: November 27, 2012, 12:22:31 PM »
I've hooked up my new 1525 and I can't get data on MBW! I've got data on the acu link and the via data reader but when I go to setup bridge on MBW it says I've entered wrong address or to press reset button on bridge which there is not one on the display. So wondering what to do now?

are you sure you have signed up with the correct registration code?

The website is simply saying that it has not received a registration request for your MAC address.

On the 1525, you need to download the PC Connect software onto your PC- then you enter your MAC address and press register on your PC first. Then go to www.acu-link.com to complete the process.

SOFTWARE DOWNLOAD: http://www.acurite.com/media/manuals/setupacu-link.exe

or you may choose to use Weather-Display software as a 3rd party option with expanded features (free trial, $80 to buy)

Easiest to follow the PC Connect instruction manual found on our website:

I hope this helps, the manual really walks you through the process. Let me know if you have any other issues.

Thanks!
Ryan

Come now Brian, I have worked with you many late nights where I am sure you are running on no coffee, and you are still as sharp as 2-3 properly caffeinated engineers! =D&gt; :grin:
