Database Diagnostics
Host ID The Host ID is used by a host computer to communicate with a specific
device. This number must match the number programmed at the host to
identify this master. ID numbers from 1 to 99 can be used, but must not
be duplicated if other units are connected to the host.
NOTE: POWER
MASTER DOWN AFTER CHANGING THE HOST ID TO RESET THE ID IN
MEMORY.
The default is 01. The Ethernet Host communication will also
use this address to identify the master.
Host Interface If using an old host protocol (host thinks master is an 8422-type master),
this selection is used to configure the external host communications for a
6-digit PLU or a 4-digit PLU database.
Database Diagnostics
This section is used for a factory diagnostic tool and should not be changed.
Setup Master
This section is defines master defaults including Weighing Units (lb/kg), Weight
Increment, Currency increment, Currency Symbol, Date Format, Date Separator, and
Time Format. Touch the Page Down key to display Barcode Style, Obsolete PLUs, and
Master IP Address. When Obsolete PLUs are enabled, creating a regular pending PLU or
PCO (Price Change Only) PLU will automatically create an Obsolete PLU with the old
price, accumulators, effective time/date. The new PLU will have zero accumulators.
Note: If the application software is
updated, you will need to either use
LOAD_IP2.EXE to set the IP address
or connect the REM to a TNET
satellite in order to first connect to
the master editor. LOAD_IP2 is
explained in the “PC and Network
Interfacing” chapter.
The DHCP features will allow the client scale or scale server to obtain initial TCP/IP
parameters from a DHCP or BOOTP server on the Ethernet network instead of manually
setting these parameters.
