Boot Mode

Introduction

Overview

In addition to using a BOOTP server or manual settings, the Management Card that the Battery Management System master controller contains can use a dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) server to provide the settings it needs to operate on a TCP/IP network.

To use a DHCP server to provide the Management Card’s network settings, use Boot mode, a TCP/IP option in the Network menu. Boot mode must be set to either DHCP & BOOTP, its default setting, or DHCP only.

For information on DHCP and DHCP options, see RFC2131 and RFC2132.
