Configuring TCP/IP settings

You must define three TCP/IP settings for the Battery Management System’s built-in Management Card before the Battery Management System can be managed over the network:

•IP address of the Battery Management System

•Subnet mask

•IP address of the default gateway

Choose one of the following methods to configure the TCP/IP settings:

•With the Device IP Configuration Wizard, which you install from the CD. This method is available only for Windows® NT, Windows 2000, Windows 2003, and Windows XP.

•By a direct serial connection from the Network Configuration port on the controller to a serial port on your computer.

•Using ARP and Telnet, if your computer is on the same subnet as the Battery Management System.

•Through a BOOTP or DHCP server.

For detailed instructions on these methods of configuring the TCP/IP settings, see “Quick Configuration” in the Installation and Quick Start manual (.\doc\en\insguide.pdf), provided in Portable Document Format (PDF) on the APC Battery Management System for High Voltage Applications Utility CD and in printed form.
