2.2. Remarks

Keep in mind that the BatFlex system uses a static IP Version 4 configuration. This requires the user to choose an IP
separately for each device.

The IP is updated as soon as the configuration menu closes. Restarting the device is not necessary.

Network IPs are usually managed by a DHCP Server. Therefore the BatFlex IP must not be in the specified range of the DHCP.
Otherwise IP address collisions may occur. Usually there is a static IP range where one should set up the BatFlex system with.

It’s advised to avoid bigger networks (for example global company networks) especially in case of very long measurements.
Unexpected or unavoidable maintenance of the network could cause measurement data loss.
2.3. Card Types
The BatFlex Device is designed as amodular System where measurement cards can be replaced whenever the device is turned off. The
onboard microprocessor is able to recognize the new configuration on the next power up.
