Boot mode setting. This setting selects which method will be used to
define the Battery Management System’s TCP/IP settings whenever the
Battery Management System turns on, resets, or restarts:
•Manual: Three settings (System IP, Subnet Mask, and Default
Gateway) which are available only when Manual is used to define the
needed TCP/IP settings.
•BOOTP only: A BOOTP server provides the TCP/IP settings.
•DHCP only: A DHCP server provides the TCP/IP settings.
•DHCP & BOOTP: The Battery Management System will attempt to get
its TCP/IP settings from a BOOTP server first, and then, if it cannot
discover a BOOTP server, from a DHCP server.
An After IP Assignment setting, by default, will switch Boot
mode from its default DHCP & BOOTP setting to BOOTP only or
DHCP only, depending on the type of server that supplied the
TCP/IP settings to the Battery Management System.
For information about the After IP Assignment setting and other
settings that affect how the Battery Management System uses
BOOTP and DHCP, see Advanced settings; for more information
on how to use DHCP, see Boot Mode.
