1.5 Connection
ScaleCore Webserver supports interfacing from an HTML browser on any network enabled device to MSI ScaleCore products.
The ScaleCore Webserver is capable of functioning an with an existing Wi-Fi network or as its own Wi-Fi router. The graphics
below illustrate examples of the two setup options. Up to 8 devices can be viewed through the web server.
Recommended browsers are Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Safari. Outdated Browsers may
cause issues.
The connection depends on the available interfaces of the ScaleCore product being used. Refer to the specific device manual
for more details on the interface capabilities.
1.5.1 ScaleCore Webserver with Wi-Fi Network
When the ScaleCore Webserver is integrated into an existing network, all wireless devices connect directly to the Wi-Fi router,
USB and serial devices connect directly to the ScaleCore Webserver.
Figure 1-3. Connection Through Existing Wi-Fi Network
1.5.2 Independent ScaleCore Webserver
When the ScaleCore Webserver is independent of an existing network, all wireless devices connect directly to the ScaleCore
Webserver. USB and serial devices are hardwired to the ScaleCore Webserver. If external access is needed, the ScaleCore
Webserver can optionally be connected to TCP/IP network hardware.
