5 – Configuring the BaseStation 3200
Irrigation Controller for the SubStation
If the BaseStation 3200 irrigation controller is already connected to BaseManager, the Subnet
Mask, Gateway, and other Ethernet settings are common to both BaseManager and the SubStation
connections.
If the SubStation and the BaseStation 3200 irrigation controller will connect to a stand-alone
network, make sure the communication modules in the SubStation and the BaseStation 3200
irrigation controller are powered up and communicating. Set up the static IP address on the
SubStation. After the devices are on the network, you will connect the SubStation to the
BaseStation 3200 using the IP address.
IMPORTANT NOTE!
If you are connecting a SubStation to a BaseStation 3200 controller that is
already in service, make sure that the controller has been updated to the most current firmware
version. Refer to the BaseStation 3200 User Manual to find instructions for updating the controller
firmware.
