Network Adapter with category 5 cables
The picture above shows an example of a 5 port hub. One computer and up to 4 scales can be connected for programming.
NOTE: It is not necessary to have a computer to program your scale. Programming can be done by using the keyboard on the scale. However, it is much easier to program using a computer especially if you have more than one scale.
A few other advantages of using a computer are:
1). Information can be saved to your hard drive or other backup device.
2). You can communicate to the scales from a remote location such as a back office. You would not have to go to the machine or move it to program/update.
3). You can generate reports from the scale and print them without interrupting normal operations of the day.
