APS Enterprise Scale was built with quality and reliability at our factory in Webb City, MO USA. The APSWIFI option is used to connect the APS scale to an IEEE 802.11b/g wireless local area networks (wireless LAN). When the scale is powered on, the APSWIFI will connect to a wireless LAN matching the configuration stored in the APSWIFI module.
Connection to the APS Enterprise scale is made internally to the main board inside the scale. The APSWIFI uses an RJ11 snap-in modular connector and can be connected to either Serial Port 1 or Serial Port 2. Note that if the APSWIFI is connected to Serial Port 2, the Remote Display can not be used.
NETWORK CONFIGURATION Connecting to APSWIFI Access Point (Ad Hoc) From the initial factory settings, the APSWIFI will appear as a wireless access point with the name “CardinalS2W. In order to connect to the APSWIFI for initial setup, you will need to connect to it as a wireless access point using a wireless device such as a laptop, PC, tablet or smart phone.

You should see the DEFAULT LED (D3) light up while the APSWIFI is in the process of resetting the configuration. When the reset to defaults is complete you should see the LED flash 5 times and then go out when it is complete.
