General hints
Cable length: 0.15 m
- Weighing data can be transferred by WLAN
- Only KERN KUP-adapters may be connected to the 15-pol-subD-connection of the balance!
1.1 Installation
- Turn off appliance
- Plug in KUP-adapter (WLAN) at the 15-pol-Sub-D-connection of the appliance
- Switch on appliance
o The KUP adapter is automatically recognised by the appliance
After switching-on without configuration, the appliance creates first a WLAN access point named “AI-Thinker_xxxxxx. Connect the computer to the appliance via this access point Enter the IP-address 192.168.4.1 in a web browser (standard-IP). The configuration website will appear. The static IP will be assigned via the KCPcommands.
| A | Select operating mode “apsta” |
| B | Enter WLAN-network name and the corresponding password |
| C | Save settings and restart target software (reboot button) |
(s. fig.:)
D Disconnect the connection to the PC and the power supply of the appliance If settings were made on the appliance, make sure that the appliance is completely switched off! Only then the settings will be imported. Update (reboot-button) and saving (save-button) are not sufficient!
E
- Reconnect the appliance to the power supply,
- Re-establish connection with the PC
- Invoke the configuration website and check the IP-address.
F Close the configuration website, connect the PC to the selected network
G Open the target software (e.g. KERN Balance Connection) and enter the IP-address and port 23.
For inquiry of the configuration allocated via DHCP, as well as to the specific/static configuration of the IP-address, subnet-mask or the gateway, the KCP-commands JNWx can be used.
1.2 Extract from the KERN Communications Protocol KCP (Ref. manual 1.5.0) JNWA – Query / set network address (IP) of WIFI Interface
Description
Use this command to query or set the network address (IP) of WIFI Interface.
Syntax
Command
| JNWA | Query the current network address. |
| JNWA˽«NetworkAddress» | Set the current network address. |
| JNWA˽0.0.0.0 | Activate DHCP. |
Responses
| JNWA˽A˽«NetworkAddress» | Current network address (IP). |
| JNWA˽A | Network address setting successfully performed. |
| JNWA˽I | Command understood but currently not executable (device is currently executing another command, e.g. taring, or timeout as stability was not reached). |
| JNWA˽L | Command understood but not executable (incorrect parameter). |
Parameters / Return values
| Name | Type | Values | Meaning |
| NetworkAddress | string | Network address (e.g. 192.168.0.1). |
Comments
- All three commands, JNWA, JNWK and JNWG are required to enter sequentially for completing the setting of WIFI Interface.
- The exceptional case is activating the DHCP. The network mask and gateway address are not required. A single command “JNWA 0.0.0.0” can activate the DHCP of the WIFI Interface.
- It may take a few seconds to response to the command.
Examples
 | JNWA | Send current network address. |
 | JNWA˽A˽192.168.0.1 | The current network address is 192.168.0.1. |
| JNWA˽192.168.0.1 | Set network address to 192.168.0.1. |
| JNWA˽A | Set network address setting successfully performed. |
| JNWA˽0.0.0.0 | Activate DHCP setting. |
| JNWA˽A | Successfully activated DHCP setting. |
