WLAN Installation Instructions

Option PN 112986

Before installing this option, contact the IT administrator to obtain network communication information, such as SSID and security parameters, and have an RS-232 communica WLAN option card during initial wireless network setup of the option card.

The 420 WLAN option card offers a way to communicate with one or both of the serial ports in a 420 indicator (including the CLS-420 Cargo Lift Scale) through a Wireless Local Area Network, or WLAN.

The option uses a Lantronix

MatchPort®2 WLAN device server to handle all of the serial to WLAN protocol

requirements. The MatchPort module can be configured using a terminal program, such as Hyp erterminal RS-232 connection. Additionally, once connected to the network, its configuration can be accessed and modified

through a web browser, such as Internet Explorer

Enclosure Disassembly

The indicator enclosure must be opened to install the WLAN option card and antenna, and to connect the wiring.

Before opening the unit, ensure the power cord is disconnected from the power source.

1. Disconnect power to the indicator

2. Place the indicator face-down on an anti-static work mat.

3. Remove the screws that hold the ba

4. Lift the backplate away from the enclos

ckplate to the enclosure body,

ure and set it aside.

Installing the Option Card

Installing the WLAN card as follows:

1. If installed, remove the plastic cover over the power supply (AC units).

2. Remove the two-wire cable that connects the power

If this is a CLS-420 installation, cut the red and black wires that lead to the 10-position connector on the bottom of the enclosure as close as possible to the tap-and-run connectors. These t attached to the option card. These wires are shown in Figure 3.

3. Place the option card, with the silver RJ-45 jack nearest to the indicator’s cord grips, on the four standoffs located on the right side of the CPU board.

4. Line up the appropriate four holes and secure the board

with the included 4 x 40 screws.

5. Route the power cable, which is already attached to the option card, to the power supply.

6. Attach the orange connector with only two wires to the CPU board J7.

7. Attach the other orange connector (with four wires), to the 4-pin connector on the power supply.

8. Re-install the plastic cover on t

If this is a CLS-420 installation, strip about a 1/4" of insulation from the red and black wires that were cut earlier.

Attach the red wire to PWOUT connection of J6 on the option card and the black wire to the GND connection next to the red wire. This will provide power to the CLS junction box.

he power supply, if applicable.

9. Attach the free end of the red wire coming from the option card to Pin 4 (+5V) of J6, using the 4-position connector included in the parts kit that was supplied with the indicator. Verify PWR jumper on the option board is in the REM position.

10. Decide which of the two 42

0 communication ports to attach to the WLAN option. If using the EDP port (not available on the CLS-420), then connect the white, blue and green wires from the option card to pins 1, 2, and 3 (TxD, RxD, and GnD), respectively on J3. If using the PRN, or printer port, connect like above except to J4.

Optionally, with the addition of three additional wires (not provided) connected to J1 (Port 1) of the WLAN option, both the EDP and PRN ports can be connected to t connection at this time as Port 1 is needed to perform the initial configuration of the option card.

For CLS-420 installations, if the 420 includes a 802.15 wireless load cell kit mounted to the rear of the enclosure cover, to comply with FCC regulations, the antenna

Initial Configuration

Initial configuration must be performed using an RS-232 connection to a PC, and a terminal program, such as Hyperterminal. After getting the option card to communicate with the network, Internet Explorer or DeviceInstaller can be used for a more intuitive, graphical method of configuration to set the remainder of the card’s settings.

The configuration information should be all that is needed to establish a simple connection to most common wireless networks. However, the MatchPort Device Ser covered in this manual. For more detailed information regarding all the card’s settings and configuration

methods, please refer to the full MatchPort or WiPort

1. Connect a 3-wire RS-232 cable from the PC to J1 (Port 1) of the option card (shown in Figure 4). If using a DB-9 connection on the PC, PC pin 2 will go to TX, pin 3 will go to RX, and pin 5 will go to GND.

2. Apply power to the 42
