Can two different communications paths to one data logger be set up in LoggerNet?

LoggerNet can be configured to have two paths to a data logger, simply by entering the data logger twice in the network map with different comms links. LoggerNet, however, treats them as separate entities, so it will try to collect all the data twice via the two separate paths if both are enabled. Some users have set this up where they use one route most often, and manually enable collection to the backup route if the main link is lost.

An alternative to this scheme is to set up the backup route but not add the data logger. Then, if the main link to the data logger goes down, simply drag-and-drop the data logger to the backup route. After the main link is working again, the data logger can be moved again. This keeps data collection pointers for that data logger intact.
