Communications
This section provides an overview of MSI-8000HD RF Remote Display communication instructions.
6.1
Communications Setup
The MSI-8000HD can communicate with peripheral devices using 802.15.4, or 802.11/b, g, n Wi-Fi. Only one communication
type can exist at a time.
The 802.15.4 transceiver is used to communicate between the MSI-8000HD and other connected ScaleCore devices. The
802.15.4 transceiver is also capable of connecting to any supported device with an 802.15.4 Modem. 802.15.4 operates in the
2.4 GHz ISM band and does not require the end user to obtain a license. 802.15.4 can coexist with other 2.4 GHz systems if
caution is taken to isolate antennas at least 10' (3 m) from the crane scales.
The 802.11 Wi-Fi option communicates directly with a standard RF access point. This option is covered by the Wi-Fi for
ScaleCore User Guide."

RF Channel
Establishes the base network that all interconnected devices must match
A 64-bit number that all interconnected devices must match, do not use a small number to avoid
Network ID
other 802.15.4 transceivers that default to a network ID of 0
NOTE: For all devices that must interconnect, the RF channel and network ID must match. The ScaleCore ID must be unique. The Dyna-Link or
crane scale that is the weight source should be set to a ScaleCore ID of 0. If other source devices are added, they can be added in sequence.
NOTE: It is possible to have multiple separate MSI ScaleCore RF networks in the same location. Each device on the same network must be on
the same channel, but for best performance different ScaleCore networks should be on different RF channels.
