Remote Control of the Balance from a PC via Ethernet
System Requirements
– PC with Internet browser
– Operating systems Windows, Mac OS, Linux, Unix and Solaris.
Installation
t Connect the balance to your network via the Ethernet interface.
t Enter the IP address of the balance in the address field of your Windows browser.
The IP address of your balance is listed under Menu/Device Information/Basic
data.
Port Release
– If you are having problems with the connection, you must configure your
firewall to release the right TCP/IP UDP port.
– If you are using a router and want to access your computer via the Internet via
your IP address, the port must also be set in the router’s virtual server settings.
This means that you must forward the port to the IP address of the server.
– If you still have problems, you may have to deactivate your firewall temporarily
while using a browser connection.
