Battery Management System

USER’S GUIDE

®

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.
