Setting up a network

Networked machines are connected using ethernet network cables. These cables enable
information to be passed between each connected machine (and other devices if used).
One machine on the network is called the server and is responsible for overseeing the
network. The remaining machines are known as client machines. Any machine may be
programmed as the server.
All the machines on the network use the same PLU and system data. You can enter data
at any machine and the other machines on the network will receive the information
provided they are switched on.
Please remember .....
The server must be switched on when the client machines are in operation. If a client
machine has been connected to the network but not had the machine ID set up it will not be
recognized by the server.
Network compatibility
You can use MX100 back office software to link an IM series machine network to another
existing IM series
