1.5 Network Considerations
The LP-2 uses a special high speed network called Ethernet. This allows you to connect up to
32 scales per installation site. The network is setup as a Master/Slave network that allows you to take
consolidated reports, transmit program data remotely, and manage up to 32 departments per site.
The network conduit configuration is star-topology. With a maximum speed of 4 Mbps and a max length
of 100 meters (325 feet), the LP-2 network can handle just about any application.
Please review the following when installing a network.
1. Check the overall network size and make sure that it falls within the limits.
2. Even though Ethernet cabling can be used, the use of Twisted pair Category-3,4,5
cable is preferred.
3. The network can run with a Master scale and no Mirror Master.
4. If you run into any trouble, please contact the CAS Service Department. We have
on-staff network specialists that can assist you if you run into any trouble or need to
exceed network specifications.
1.6 Installing the Slave Scales (#2 to 32#)
1. Install slave scale in its final location.
2. (Optional) Span calibrate the scale and go to REG mode when done.
3. Follow all of the directions for section 1.1 Installing the Network Memory Card.
4. Continue for this procedure (steps 1 to 4) for all slave scales #3 to #32.
5. All scales should be OFF at this time.
1.7 Installing the Master Scale (#1)
1. Install the Master scale in its final location.
2. (Optional) Span calibrate the scale and go to REG mode when done.
3. Follow all of the directions for section 1.1 Installing the Network Memory Card.
4. The Master scale should be OFF at this time.
5. If Pc master is selected, don’t use master scale number(#1)

screen will read:
You can see Network Management menu by using arrow key or
page Up and Page down key.
2.1 Network Mode
Once at the NET : NETWORK MANAGEMENT menu screen, press the 1key. The Scale Mode Settings
screen will appear as follows:
The Network Setting option allows you to change the scale’s
number. The scale number is a unique identifier for networking.
There can only be 32 scales a CAS NET(Network). Each scale
must have a unique number; therefore, no two scales may share
the same id. Scale 1 is the Master scale. Scale numbers 2 through 32 are slaves. You can either
activate or deactivate the network, or you can use Floating Clerk or non-Floating Clerk.

The master will not display this
message. Also, only scale in
sales mode (REG, MGR, or RPK)
will show this message. Even if
you turn the scale OFF and ON,
or if you unplug it and plug it
from the AC power and/or the
network, the scale WILL remain
in the LOCK mode. The onl
y
way to come out of a LOCK
condition is to issue an UNLOCK
command from the maste

scale.

2.5 Unlock Network
Once at the NET: NETWORK MANAGEMENT menu screen, press the 5key. The scale will place the
UNLOCK command on the network queue and wait for you to return to <REG> mode. To return to
<REG> mode, press ESC until you get to <REG> mode.
The LOCK and UNLOCK features are especially useful when you
wish to do sales reporting and you do not want anyone to register
any sales before you finish your reports
This is different from the LOCK scale option on the Main menu. The LOCK scale option of the Main
menu only locks the scale in which you select the LOCK scale option. It then requires a level 1
password to unlock as opposed to the Network Lock, which can only be locked and unlocked by the
Master scale.
If you have a scale that is Network Locked and you cannot unlock it through the master, please
contact your Authorized CAS Dealer for service. You may have a network hardware problem, or a
scale hardware problem.
Scale oneself lock/unlock : if you press ALT and 1 key in any program mode, lock command is sent
oneself. When you want to return program mode, press any key and level one password.
2.6 Check Scale
Once at the NET: NETWORK MANAGEMENT menu screen, press the 6key. You will then see the Check
Scale screen as follows:
The scale number means that the master was able to see that node; indicates a failure to
communicate to that node.
If you have problems with this test, please review the network installation instructions and run the test
again. If a problem persists, contact the CAS Service Department.
