Ethernet 10/100 Base-T Connection
The Ethernet interface defaults to use Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) for obtaining an
IP address. It is not necessary to be running a DCHP server to discover the scale device on your
network, because the MSI Scale Discovery Utility uses multicast IP to discover and configure the
device.
Once the device has an IP address, further configuration can be done via the web page interface if
necessary.
The Ethernet connection can be made to your network via a hub or switch etc., or can go directly to
your computers Ethernet port using a swapped Ethernet cable. For details, please reference your
networking hardware User Guide, or contact your network administrator.
