USER’S GUIDE

Battery Management System

• Three settings are available for all Boot mode selections, except

Manual, to identify the Management Card in BOOTP or DHCP

communication:

– Vendor Class: Uses APC, by default.

– Client ID: Uses the Battery Management System’s MAC address,

by default.

– User Class: Uses the Battery Management System’s application

firmware module type, by default. For example, a Battery

Management module sets the User Class to BMS-HVA.

• Two settings are available if BOOTP only is the Boot mode selection:

– Retry Then Fail: Defines how many times the Battery Management

System will attempt to discover a BOOTP server before it stops (4,

by default).

– On Retry Failure: Defines what TCP/IP settings will be used by the

Battery Management System when it fails to discover a BOOTP

server (Use Prior Settings, by default).

Caution

If the Client ID is changed from the Battery Management

System master unit’s MAC address, the new value must be

unique on the LAN. Otherwise, the DHCP or BOOTP server

may act incorrectly.

For information about the Advanced settings (DHCP Cookie Is

and Retry Then Stop) that directly affect how DHCP is used, see

Boot Mode.
