Advanced settings.
The Boot mode affects which settings are available:
• Two settings are available for all Boot mode selections to define the
Battery Management System’s Host Name and Domain Name
values.
– Host Name: When an Administrator configures a host name here
and a domain name in the Domain Name field, users can then enter
a host name in any field in the Battery Management System
interface (except e-mail addresses) that accepts a domain name as
input.
– Domain Name : An Administrator needs to configure the domain
name here only. In all other fields in the Battery Management
System interface (except e-mail addresses) that accept domain
names, the Battery Management System will add this domain name
when only a host name is entered.
• A Port Speed setting is available for all Boot mode selections to
define the TCP/IP port’s communication speed ( Auto-negotiate , by
default).
To override the expansion of a specified host name by the
addition of the domain name, do one of the following:
• To override the behavior in all instances, set the
domain name field in Configure General Settings to
its default somedomain.com or to 0.0.0.0.
• To override the behavior for a particular host name
entry — for example when defining a trap receiver —
include a trailing period. The Battery Management
System recognizes a host name with a trailing period
(such as mySnmpServer.) as if it were a fully
qualified domain name and therefore does not append
the domain name.
