8555-M519-O1 MedVue MVWIFI Operation
INTRODUCTION Thank you for purchasing our MedVue® Model MVWIFI WiFi Option. This option card for the Detecto MedVue® Weight Analyzer was built with quality and reliability at our factory in Webb City, MO USA. The MVWIFI has been designed for the environment where interfacing through an WiFi network is desired. The purpose of this manual is to provide you with a guide through installation, setup and operation of the MedVue® Model MVWIFI WiFi Option.
FCC COMPLIANCE STATEMENT This equipment generates uses and can radiate radio frequency and if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause interference to radio communications. It has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A computing device pursuant to Subpart J of Part 15 of FCC rules, which are designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference when operated in a commercial environment.
INSTALLATION Mounting the MVWIFI Option Card NOTE: Should your weight analyzer come with the option card already installed, the following section describing mounting, does not apply. Proceed to the NETWORK CONFIGURATION. ATTENTION! OBSERVE PRECAUTIONS FOR HANDLING ELECTROSTATIC SENSITIVE DEVICES. MAKE SURE THE POWER TO THE MEDVUE WEIGHT ANALYZER IS OFF! If you are operating the weight analyzer using batteries, remove them.
NETWORK CONFIGURATION From the initial factory settings, the MedVue WiFi option will appear as a wireless access point with the name “MedVue”. In order to connect to the weight analyzer, you can either connect to it as an access point and then open a TCP/IP connection to the weight analyzer, or you can set the WiFi option to connect to an existing network and then make a TCP/IP connection to it.

The following is a description of the parameters and appropriate settings: WLCH (Wireless LAN channel): This sets the default WiFi communication channel. When the MedVue is set to operate in Ad-Hoc mode, this parameter must be given a value between 1-13 that defines the channel to be used for beacon transmission. When set to connect to an existing network, the MedVue WiFi option will adopt that network’s channel.
EUSN (Domain and user name for WiFi Enterprise mode): Sets the login user name to be used for WiFi Enterprise. The parameter takes effect following a power cycle only. A change to this parameter during operation does not affect the current connection. EPSW (Password for WiFi Enterprise mode): Sets the password to be used for WiFi Enterprise. This parameter takes effect following a power cycle only. A change to this parameter does not affect the current connection.
AWS (Automatic Web Server activation): This setting sets how the configuration web page will be presented. By default, when viewing this web page, this setting will reset to zero. It is very important to enter the correct setting in order to enable this configuration web page if settings need to be changed. Following are valid settings for this parameter and their descriptions. 1 = Web server will automatically start on next power cycle.
OPERATION Once the weight analyzer network configuration has been set up properly, the weight analyzer should briefly display it’s IP address shortly after powering up. To connect to the weight analyzer, you must make a TCP client connection to the weight analyzer’s IP address at port 10001. Once connected to this port, you can issue the commands described below to the weight analyzer if it is set to “On Demand” output format (see MedVue operation manual for information on setting this parameter).
