Connect the C8000 to the Network
To use BatteryLab with C8000, each C8000 must be connected to
the network and be assigned a static IP Address and a network
mask.
The static IP addresses for each C8000 must be unique and belong
to the same network. For more information on assigning an IP
address to a C8000, see
3.1.10.3 Add IP Addresses for C8000s on the

static IP addresses
. A
Network Administrator can supply static IP addresses for each
device that is to be connected to the local network.

Set Up the C8000 to Use BatteryLab
The procedure for setting up the network connections is:
Acquire a unique IP Address from your network
Administrator.
On each C8000, enter a unique IP address and the
(network) mask.
Launch BatteryLab, on the host PC, to enter the IP
address for every C8000 that the host PC will
communicate with. See
for information on entering the IP
addresses into BatteryLab.
Once the IP address information is entered, connect the C8000
directly to the PC or to a hub/switch connected to the network.
Use the Ethernet cable provided. On the C8000 side, the Ethernet
cable connects to the Ethernet port at the back of the C8000.
