USER’S GUIDE

Battery Management System

• Enable or disable Reverse DNS Lookup. This feature is disabled by

default. Enabling this feature is the recommended configuration, unless

you have no DNS server configured or have poor network performance

because of heavy network traffic. With Reverse DNS Lookup enabled,

when a network-related event occurs, reverse DNS lookup logs both

the IP address and the domain name for the networked device

associated with the event in the event log. If no domain name entry

exists for the device, only its IP address is logged with the event. Since

domain names generally change much less frequently than IP

addresses, enabling reverse DNS lookup can improve the ability to

identify addresses of networked devices that are causing events to

occur.

Ping utility (control console)

Select this option, available only in the control console, to check the Battery

Management System’s network connection by testing whether a defined IP

address or domain name responds to the Ping network utility. By default,

the default gateway IP address (see TCP/IP) is used. However, you can

use the IP address or domain name of any device known to be running on

the network.
