Note
: Changes to any wireless settings can take several minutes to take effect on the network. When
connecting to a computer, it may be useful to refresh the computer network connections.

IP Address
The static IP address (Internet Protocol address) of the scale consists of
two parts, the network address and the machine address.
The network address must be the same as all the other machines on the
same network.
The machine address must be different from the other machines on the
same network.
Note:
If a wireless adaptor is present, the wireless IP address is shown in
preference on the taskbar.

Sub
‐
net Mask
The subnet mask identifies which part of the IP Address is the network
Address, and which part is the machine address.
For example:
The subnet mask
255.255.0.0
sets the network address part as the first
two sets of numbers of the IP address, which makes the last two sets of
numbers the machine address.
If the subnet mask is set to
255.255.255.0
, then the first three sets of
numbers are the network address, and the last set is the machine
address.
3
Gateway
A gateway enables networks using different protocols to communicate.
4
MAC Address
Media Access Control address. Cannot be changed.
5
DHCP
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. If the network infrastructure has a
server that dynamically allocates IP addresses (DHCP server), then set
this to enabled, otherwise, set to disabled for a static IP address.
If this is set to enabled, you must give the scale a computer name. The
computer name is shown on the taskbar.
Note:
If DCHP is enabled, then the IP address, Subnet mask and Gateway
are set to 0.

ESSID
The Extended Service Set Identification (ESSID) name of the wireless
network.
