Simplified Chinese Wi-Fi Connectivity
MASSO CORE, ADVANCED, and all LEGACY controllers include built-in Wi-Fi hardware and software, allowing the controller to connect easily to a Wi-Fi network.
To use Wi-Fi features, you must install the MASSO Link software on your computer.
INFORMATION: MASSO Link software download link.
With MASSO Link, users can:
View the real-time status of the MASSO controller
Transfer G-code files wirelessly from a PC to MASSO
Read tool data stored in MASSO
Generate tool lists for use with CAM software
MASSO Link software is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
Running "MASSO Link" software on PC
INFORMATION: MASSO link software uses UDP ports 11000 to 11050 for sending data and 65535 for receiving data.
Creating a Wi-Fi Network (My MASSO Network)
If no existing Wi-Fi network is available, MASSO can create its own Wi-Fi network called My MASSO Network.
This allows a PC to connect directly to MASSO using a point-to-point wireless connection.
Setup Steps
Enable Make My MASSO Network.
Enter a network name (SSID).
Enter a security key.
Click Enable.
Once enabled, the network will appear in the PC’s available Wi-Fi networks list and can be used with MASSO Link.
INFORMATION: The security key must be between 8 to 32 characters long.
Transferring G-Code Files to MASSO
INFORMATION: A USB flash drive must be connected to MASSO to store transferred files.
Once connected through MASSO Link, files with the following extensions can be transferred:
.nc
.cnc
.tap
.eia
.txt
Files can be dragged and dropped into the MASSO Link window.
If a folder name is specified, files will be saved to that folder on the USB drive.
If left blank, files will be saved to the root directory of the USB drive.
Click Send File to transfer the files.
INFORMATION: File transfer speed is up to approximately 2 MB per minute and depends on Wi-Fi signal strength and USB flash drive write speed. A poor Wi-Fi signal or slow flash drive can significantly increase transfer time. A quality branded USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 flash drive is recommended.
Installing the Wi-Fi Module
The Wi-Fi module must be installed before Wi-Fi can be used.
All MASSO G3 and G3 Touch controllers include the Wi-Fi hardware installed as standard.
CORE, ADVANCED, and LEGACY controllers include the required software.
ESSENTIAL level controllers require a software upgrade to enable Wi-Fi.
Installation Steps
Power off MASSO.
Remove the main label cover.
Slide the label panel to the left.
Install the Wi-Fi module and antenna.
Reinstall the label panel.
Power on MASSO.
CAUTION: The Wi-Fi module must be installed in the correct orientation as shown in the installation diagram. Installing the module incorrectly may damage the hardware.
Connecting to a Wi-Fi Network
INFORMATION: The MASSO Wi-Fi module supports 2.4 GHz (IEEE 802.11 b/g/n) networks only.
Connection Steps
Go to the F2 – Program & MDI screen.
Click the Wi-Fi icon.
Enter the network SSID and security key.
Leave Fixed IP Address unticked to use DHCP, or enable it to assign a fixed IP.
Click Connect.
Once connected, the assigned IP address will be displayed on screen.
INFORMATION: Using a fixed IP address is recommended because routers may change DHCP addresses. MASSO Link requires the correct IP address to connect.
INFORMATION: The maximum SSID length is 30 characters, and the maximum security key length is 60 characters.
Troubleshooting
If MASSO Link will not connect, check the following:
Ensure the MASSO Link version matches the MASSO software version. MASSO software v5.07 requires MASSO Link v2.12 or later.
Update MASSO to the latest main release if running v5.06 or earlier.
Confirm the IP address in MASSO Link matches the IP shown on MASSO.
If using a fixed IP, try switching to DHCP to rule out address conflicts.
Do not install MASSO Link in C:Program Files, as Windows permissions may cause issues.
Check Windows Firewall and any antivirus firewall software.
Managed or corporate Wi-Fi networks may require administrator approval.
If using multiple monitors and MASSO Link does not open, start the software with one monitor connected, reposition the window, close it, then reconnect the second monitor.
If upgrading MASSO Link, delete the old MASSO_Link.dat file before running the new version.
Ensure fixed IP addresses are unique on the network.
macOS Sequoia v15.5 introduced firewall issues that may block MASSO Link traffic. Temporarily disabling the firewall can confirm this issue until Apple provides a fix.
Connection Methods
Using an Existing Wi-Fi Network
Use this method when MASSO and the PC are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
My MASSO Network (Direct Connection)
Use this method when no Wi-Fi network is available or when a direct connection is required.
