Rice Lake MSI-9850 CellScale RF Digital Indicator - Ethernet Option Supplement - Manual (Page 4)

MEASUREMENT SYSTEMS INTERNATIONAL
Introduction
The MSI-9850 Ethernet option provides the ability to connect your CellScale network directly to your
PC, corporate network or the Internet. The Ethernet option is available as either wired 10/100Base-T
or wireless 802.11b network interface.
Communications with the scale is accomplished with simple TCP protocol, bypassing the more
complex serial communications with RS-232.
Quick Start
1. Connect to the network by physical
connection or link with unsecured 802.11.
2. Access the MSI Scale Discovery Utility.
3. Scan the network for your MSI-9850.
4. Configure IP settings (see your network
administrator if you do not know this
information).
5. For 802.11 systems open the web interface
and configure network and security
settings.
6. Reboot the Ethernet interface to apply
settings (allow 1 minute for reboot).
7. Scan the network to confirm settings have
applied.
8. Open a chat from the MSI Scale Discovery Utility, or from any TCP client (Windows Hyper-
Terminal, telnet) to confirm communications.
