Network ID
Network ID is the equivalent of the Peer ID, but for Server Client networks. It identifies which
machines are in the same logical network. For example, a large department with smaller counters.
All machines are physically connected on the Ethernet network but only the machines with a
matching network ID connect to each other as a server client network.
ISC Machine Type
Sets the type of machine:
Standalone Scale
: There is no ISC (Inter Scale Communications). Host communications (For
example, from a computer) is direct to the scale.
Server Scale
: This is the host scale, and most data is replicated to the client scales.
Client Scale
Peer Group Scale
: Only local price changes are distributed to other machines with the same Peer
ID. This is typically for a label system where local price changes need to be distributed to other
machines on the same counter. For example, on a deli counter.
The machine type is shown on the taskbar.
Peer Group ID
Identifies which peer group the scale belongs to. For example, you can have a store-wide network
that is divided into groups by giving each group its own peer ID.
Short Machine ID
A two-digit machine ID that is shown on the taskbar.
