Cannot access the
control console
through a serial
connection

Make sure that you did not change the baud rate. Try 2400,
9600, 19200, or 38400.

Cannot access the
control console
remotely

• Make sure you are using the correct access method (Telnet or

SSH). An Administrator can enable these access methods
through the

Telnet/SSH

option of the

Network

menu. By

default, Telnet is enabled. Enabling SSH automatically disables
Telnet.

• For Secure SHell (SSH), the Battery Management System may

be creating a host key. The Battery Management System can
take up to 5 minutes to create this host key, and SSH is not
accessible during that time.

Cannot access the
Web interface

• Verify that HTTP or HTTPS access is enabled.
• Make sure you are specifying the correct URL — one that is

consistent with the security system used by the Battery
Management System. SSL requires

https

, not

http

, at the

beginning of the URL.

• Verify that you can ping the adapter.
• Verify that you are using a Web browser that is supported for

the Battery Management System. See

Supported Web

browsers

.

• If the Battery Management System has just restarted and SSL

security is being set up, the Battery Management System may
be generating a server certificate. The Battery Management
System can take up to 5 minutes to create this certificate, and
the SSL/TLS server is not available during that time.

Web interface

1. Verify that HTTP access is enabled.
