BaseManager 2 Quick Start Guide Connecting Your Controller to a Self-hosted BaseManager Server Some organizations prefer to host a standalone instance of the BaseManager server. Because a BaseStation controller is pre-configured to connect to Baseline’s BaseManager server, some configuration changes are required to have the controller connect to the self-hosted server. After the self-hosted BaseManager server has been installed and configured, ask the server administrator for the server’s IP address.
