Boot Mode

Introduction

Overview

In addition to using a BOOTP server or manual settings, the Management
Card that the Battery Management System master controller contains can
use a dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) server to provide the
settings it needs to operate on a TCP/IP network.

To use a DHCP server to provide the Management Card’s network settings,
use

Boot mode

, a

TCP/IP

option in the

Network

menu.

Boot mode

must

be set to either

DHCP & BOOTP

, its default setting, or

DHCP only

.
