Connecting to BaseManager – Overview
BaseManager is Baseline’s central control solution, which gives you remote access to your
BaseStation 3200. In order to use BaseManager, your controller needs to be connected to a
network with a supported communication module such as built-in Ethernet, Wi-Fi, Ethernet radio,
or cell modem. You also need access to a BaseManager server – either Baseline’s server or your
organization’s server.
• Connecting to Baseline’s BaseManager Server: The BaseStation 3200 is preconfigured to
connect to Baseline’s BaseManager server. After you connect your controller to the network
using a supported communication module, you can check the status of your connection on
the RUN screen.
• Connecting to Your Organization’s BaseManager Server: Get the IP address of that server
from your network administrator, and then configure the BaseStation 3200 to connect to that
server with a static IP address. Refer to Setting Up a Static IP Address on page 90.
