4 Configuring the WiFi Adapter for serial cable proxy
mode
It is possible to use two WiFi Adapters as a replacement for a serial cable by connecting one
at the scale and the other to a PC or another device that the scale usually communicates
with over a serial RS232 cable.
Start a serial port terminal on the PC
Connect the WiFi Adapter to the Serial Port/Serial port adapter on the PC
Insert the DC plug to power the unit and hit “Return” within 3 sek. You should read “Entering
configuration mode” on the terminal and a $ prompt. If you are to late in hitting “Return” the
terminal will print a lot of illegible symbols.
Example of terminal printout, to late at top row and in time a the second row
Set the application mode to proxy with the db set /app/mode command
$ db set /app/mode proxy
Set client mode to one of the WiFi Adapter and the other in server mode. With the command
db set /proxy/mode
$ db set /proxy/mode client
or
$ db set /proxy/mode server
Set the port number to be used should be the same on both client and server. (2000 is
default)
$ db set /proxy/port 2000
For the WiFi Adapter acting as client set the IP address for the WiFi Adapter acting servers
with /proxy/ip.
$ db set /proxy/ip 192.168.1.71
Set the appropriate baud rate. The scale can use 1200, 2400, 4800 or 9600. Different baud
rate can be set for the server WiFi Adapter and client WiFi Adapter. The default value is 9600.
$ db set /proxy/baudrate 9600
If access point ssid and IP address for the unit has not been configured this is done in the
same way as for in the web server mode with the commands, db set /wl/ssid, db set /net/IP,
db set /net/gw and db set /net/mask.
