4 WeighVault Installation Instructions

Installing Device Installer on your PC

1. Insert the CD included with the Ethernet or

WLAN option card and select

Install Device

Installer

. Follow the onscreen instructions.

Initial Configuration of WLAN Option Card via RS-232

The first step required for using the WLAN option card

is to configure its Network Type, IP address and

subnet, and the SSID and network security settings.

Because the card can not connect to the network until

these settings are made, it must first be configured

through an RS-232 connection and a simple terminal

program, such as Hyperterminal, Procomm, or Putty.

1. Connect a PC's RS-232 port to J2 on the

WLAN o

ption card. If the PC is equipped with

a 9-pin connection, connect pin 3 to J2-TX, pin

2 to J2-RX, and pin 5 to J2-Gnd.

2. Set both CFG/LOOP jumpers to CFG.

3. Using the instructions co

ntained in the manual

supplied with the WLAN Option card, set the

following parameters:

• Set the Network Mode to Wireless Only.

• The IP address you want to assign to the

Option Card (can

be set with Device

Installer). This address must be on the

same subnet as the address for the host PC

or server.

• The IP Subnet Mask (can be set with

Device Installer).

• Network type: AdHoc or Infrastructure.

• Network SSID, or name.

• Channel Number (if AdHoc only).

• All required security parameters (i.e.,

WEP

, WPA, associated pass keys or

phrases).

4. Save the settings.

The card should now be able to

connect to the network.

Take note of the WLANACT LED on the card. If it is

on, or blinking, you do NOT have a connection. If it is

off, the connection is successful. You may now use

Device Installer to perform the remaining settings.

Ethernet and WLAN Option Card Configuration using Device

Installer

1. Start the Device Installer program.

Upon opening, the program will search

the

network for any Lantronix Ethernet or WLAN

option cards available.

2. Once it finds your option card, you may select

and perform the following configuration

using the Web Browser Configuration Tool:

Note

Please refer to the manual included with the

option card, along with the complete Lantronix

User

Guide provided on the CD, for detailed

instructions for configuration of the option card.

• If using the Ethernet Option, you will need to

assign the IP address and subnet first.

• Make the following settings to Channel 1

(Chann

el 2 if WLAN):

• Connect Mode to “Connect With Any

Charac

ter.”

• Remote Port to “9090.”

• Remote Host to the IP address of the host

PC or S

erver that is running the

WeighVault service.

• All other settings should remain default, aside

from

the initial WLAN settings set above.

3. Click

OK, then click Apply Settings.

Configuring an External RS-232 to Ethernet or WLAN

converter

Rice Lake Weighing System does not directly support

third-party converters. If used, the converter must be

set up using the manufacturer's instructions. You will

need to match the RS-232 settings, as well as set the

unit up to initiate a TCP connection to TCP Port 9090

on the WeighVault host any time data is presented by

the

CW-90/90X on the RS-232 side.

After a short period of LAN inactivity, the host will

termin

ate the connection, so the converter will have to

reinitiate the connection anytime the

CW-90/90X

requests an ID, or transmits weighment data.

Using WeighVault

The CW-90/90X WeighVault system should now be

ready to use.

1. Start the WeighVault editor and add an ID to

the database.

2. On the

CW-90/90X, attempt to recall that ID by

pressing the ID key, entering the ID number,

and pressing

Enter.

3. The

CW-90/90X will scroll a message stating it

is loading the ID.

4. If the connection to WeighVault is successful,

the message will change to Loading ID fr

PC.

If the connection is not suc

cessful, it will

respond with No ID, or it will load that ID from

its local memory, if programmed.

Verify all settings in the

CW-90/90X, option

card, and host PC. Also verify a firewall in the

system is not blocking access to port 9090 of

the host, and that all wiring is correct.
