ISC Machine Type
The machine network system in a store can consist of a mixture of label and receipt machines. The
system supports any combination of machines in the XM and XT ranges (If they have the same
software version).
Scale networks can be connected in a wired or wireless ethernet setup. Scales can be set up as:
Stand
‐
Alone
:
Each scale is independent. Communication is only possible to a back office system.
Server/Client
: One or more client scales receives its data from a server scale. The number of clients
that can be supported on a network depends on server performance.
A back office host can communicate with the server which will then communicate with the clients.
Scales set up in such a way can share resources and information (operators, PLUs, and so on). Local
price and product updates can be made at any of the scales. Floating vendor is possible, whereby an
operator moves from one scale to another, picking up live transactions from a particular customer at
the scale they have moved to.
Multi
‐
Server
: Each scale is configured as a server. If there is a back office software application this
communicates with all the scales.
Each scale holds its own product file and floating vendor is not possible.

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.
4
Short Machine
ID
A two
‐
digit machine ID that is shown on the taskbar.
