14.11 Advanced set-up
Gateway IP address
Where IM series machines are linked to a PC through a gateway, the IM series machine needs to
know the gateway address in order to communicate with it.
Network ID
The machines are manufactured with a default network ID. You will only need to change
it if more than one IM series network is required.
Up to 10 machines can be connected together into a single machine network. All the
machines in a single network must have the same network ID.
Up to 99 machine networks can be created but each group of machines must have a
network ID number that is different from any other group.
Base port number
The base port number is used with the network ID to generate a TCP/IP port number for
inter scale communications.
This port number is used by the scales in the network to communicate across the
network. If this port number is used by other equipment you may need to change the base
port number.
Host port number
This is the TCP/IP port number used to communicate with a PC running MX100 software.
The IM series machine needs to know the port number for MX100 in order to be able to
communicate with the PC. The default value for the port number will not usually need to
be changed.
Ping IP test
This function tests connections between the scale and other IP addresses.
Data clone
You can use data clone to copy machine specific data, as well as system data, from the
server to a new or replacement machine on a network. The new machine must use the
same network ID.
Cloning transfers:
• system data
• service configuration (not capacity)
• machine setup
• dedicated keys
