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 .
