Getting Started
Initial Setup
Configuring TCP/IP settings
You must define three TCP/IP settings for the Battery Management
System’s built-in Management Card before the Battery Management
System can be managed over the network:
• IP address of the Battery Management System
• Subnet mask
• IP address of the default gateway
Choose one of the following methods to configure the TCP/IP settings:
• With the Device IP Configuration Wizard, which you install from the
CD. This method is available only for Windows
®
NT, Windows 2000,
Windows 2003, and Windows XP.
• By a direct serial connection from the Network Configuration port on
the controller to a serial port on your computer.
• Using ARP and Telnet, if your computer is on the same subnet as the
Battery Management System.
• Through a BOOTP or DHCP server.
