Baseline Systems BaseManager 2.0 - Manual (Page 6)

BaseManager 2 Quick Start Guide
Some examples of when you need to involve a network administrator:
• The network requires a static IP address be assigned to the controller in order to gain access
to the network.
• The network uses MAC address filtering to limit access to the network. If you need to find the
MAC address of a Baseline irrigation controller, refer to Step 4.
• The network doesn’t allow the WS and WSS security protocol.
If you need to involve a network administrator, refer to the Appendix for specific information.
Step 2 – Check the Firmware Version on Your Controller
Before you attempt to connect your BaseStation 1000 or BaseStation 3200 irrigation controller to
BaseManager, make sure that it is running the most current version of firmware.
To determine whether the firmware version on your controller is different from the currently
released version, go to the Baseline web site ( www.baselinesystems.com ). Click Support, and then
click Firmware Version Updates. Click the link for your controller. Review the information on that
page, to find out what the current firmware version is and then compare that with the version on
your controller.
To check the firmware version on your controller:
BaseStation 1000
1. Press the System Setup button. The System Maintenance menu displays.
2. Press the  button to highlight the Firmware Update option and then press the OK button.
The Firmware Update screen displays.
3. The USB Update option should be highlighted. If it is not highlighted, press the  or  button
to highlight it, and then press the OK button. The USB Update screen displays. The controller
firmware version is listed at the top of the screen.
BaseStation 3200
Turn the dial to the Advanced position. The version number of the firmware displays at the bottom
of the screen.
If you find that an updated firmware version is available and you want to replace the firmware on
your controller with the new version, refer to the topic on Updating Firmware in your controller’s
user manual.
