Connect the scale to your network

1. Connect the scale to power, then connect the black RS232 serial cable to the serial port on the back of the scale (A&D FX-300i shown). Twist the screws on the serial cable to secure it in place.
   

   Only use the black serial cable that comes in a separate package with your hardware kit. Any other serial cable included with the Lantronix adapter or scale is not compatible with Greenbits.

   
2. Connect the other end of the RS232 serial cable to the Serial 1 port on the Lantronix adapter. Twist the screws on the serial cable to secure it in place.
3. Connect the Ethernet cable to the 10/100 port on the Lantronix adapter. Connect the other end to any of the numbered ports on your TrendNet network switch.
4. Connect the Lantronix adapter to an outlet with the included power cord.

After configuring your scale:

2. Tap the menu icon .
