5.1 MSI Scale Discovery Utility
Note
Direct.msiscales.com may need to be added to the security on the computer for the Scale Discovery Utility to
run. See Section 9 on page 11..
The Scale Discovery Utility can be accessed from the MSI Website under Products/Software Applications. The
program requires Java 6.0 or greater to run. The Scale Discovery Utility uses UDP port 2362 and a multi-cast IP
address of 224.0.5.128. These will need to be enabled on the firewall for the Scale Discovery Utility to work
(typically enabled by default).
The program is loaded from the web page via Java Web Start technology. This ensures whenever the program is
started, the latest version is being used.

address.
