Advanced settings. The Boot mode affects which settings are available:

•Two settings are available for all Boot mode selections to define the Battery Management System’s Host Name and Domain Name values.

–Host Name: When an Administrator configures a host name here and a domain name in the Domain Name field, users can then enter a host name in any field in the Battery Management System interface (except e-mail addresses) that accepts a domain name as input.

–Domain Name: An Administrator needs to configure the domain name here only. In all other fields in the Battery Management System interface (except e-mail addresses) that accept domain names, the Battery Management System will add this domain name when only a host name is entered.

To override the expansion of a specified host name by the addition of the domain name, do one of the following:

• To override the behavior in all instances, set the domain name field in Configure General Settings to

its default somedomain.com or to 0.0.0.0.

•To override the behavior for a particular host name entry — for example when defining a trap receiver — include a trailing period. The Battery Management System recognizes a host name with a trailing period (such as mySnmpServer.) as if it were a fully qualified domain name and therefore does not append the domain name.

•A Port Speed setting is available for all Boot mode selections to define the TCP/IP port’s communication speed (Auto-negotiate, by default).
