    8.4 WLAN  After switching-on without configuration, the weighing platform creates first a WLAN access point named "AI-Thinker_xxxxxx.  Connect the weighing platform to the computer via this access point.  In a web browser enter the IP-address 192.168.4.1 of the weighing platform. The configuration website will appear.
  • Page 22 • Invoke the configuration website and check the IP-address. (s. fig.:) Close the configuration website, connect the PC to the selected network Open the target software (e.g. KERN Balance Connection) and enter the IP-address and port 23. (s. fig.:) For inquiry of the configuration allocated via DHCP, as well as to the specific/static configuration of the IP-address, subnet-mask or the gateway, the KCP-commands JNWx can be used.
  • Page 23: Adjustment

    9 Adjustment As the acceleration value due to gravity is not the same at every location on earth, every digital weighing platform must be coordinated - in compliance with the underlying physical weighing principle - to the existing acceleration due to gravity at its place of location (only if the weighing system has not already been adjusted to the location in the factory).
