AD8526

The AD-8526 Ethernet Converter can connect the RS-232C interface of a weighing instrument to the Ethernet (LAN) port of a computer that is not equipped with an RS-232C interface. By using the AD-8526, weight data from a weighing instrument can be managed with a computer connected to the network. The weighing instrument can also be controlled by the connected computer.

Caution

Contact your network manager before connecting the AD-8526 to a network. The AD-8526 may generate a network error. A&D assumes no responsibility for any errors that may be caused. Affix the AC adapter labels to the AC adapter and the connector end of the cable. Set the IP address and subnet mask to the AD-8526 one at a time. The factory default IP address is 172.16.100.2. Do not duplicate an IP address. The IP address cannot be returned to the factory setting. We recommend that you write the IP address on the supplied label.

cable directly or connect them with a hub and straight cables.

Step 3 Input the IP addresses and subnet masks of the AD-8526

and computer. For the setting procedure, refer to the “WinCT-Plus” instruction manual.

Communication error may occur if set incorrectly.

Step 4 Write the IP address on the IP address label and affix it on

the AD-8526 (and the weighing instrument

if necessary)

where you can see the address easily.
