Contents of the .ini file
The config.ini file that you retrieve from a Battery Management System
Management Card contains the following:
• section headings, which are category names enclosed in brackets ([ ]),
and under each section heading, keywords, which are labels
describing specific Battery Management System settings.
• Each keyword is followed by an equals sign and the current value for
that parameter’s setting, either the default value (if the value has not
been specifically configured) or the configured value.
– The Override keyword, with its default value, prevents one or more
keywords and their device-specific values from being exported.
• In the [NetworkTCP/IP] section, the default value for Override
(the MAC address of the Management Card) blocks the exporting of
the values for the keywords SystemIP, SubnetMask,
DefaultGateway
, and BootMode.
– You must edit the section [SystemDate/Time] if you want to set the
system date and time of a receiving Battery Management System
Management Card or cause that Management Card to use an NTP
Server to set its date and time.
Only section headings and keywords supported for the
specific device associated with the Management Card from
which you retrieve the file are included.
See Customizing for configuration guidelines for date
and time settings.
