CONFIGURATION OF PC ETHERNET CARD
Window version client driver
Any Ethernet cards can be used for PC running the Window version client driver
Windows 98
My Computer → Control Panel → Network→TCP/IP of Ethernet card (Select
Properties)
IP address : 192.168.1.XXX ------ XXX - can be any number. But preferable 100 to 255.
Submask : 255.255.255.0
Above IP address is use as a standard address to use for SM 5100 Ethernet
communication.
If whatever reason, the IP address had to be change, it may do so. But the scale IP address
had to be change at the SM 5100 scale also so that they are within the same network. Eg. If
the computer IP address is 192.168.1.XXX, the SM 5100 scale IP address has to be change
to 192.168.1.XXX. The last three digits of the IP address should not be similar within the
computer and scales at all time. As can see the first three set of number of the IP address of
the computer and scale must be the same.
