Active check: String Status > Connection then Setup|Check Settings|dialog box
Offline
: String Status > View|Offline|Setup|Check Settings|dialog box
The Check Settings dialog boxes display settings in the BMDM database and MPM or BDS
nonvolatile memory. Use Check Settings to synchronize a battery location. On a Local, Central or
Service computer, when String View displays an active connection, you may click
Setup|Check Settings to view Check Settings setup, send the time and date, and upload settings.
You cannot change settings using these boxes. Offline you can view the settings, but the Send
Time, Recheck and Upload buttons are not active.
Open the Check Settings dialog boxes. When MPM and BDS boxes are similar, only one figure is
shown below. For item definitions, refer to Synchronizing Using Check Settings and
Programming Battery Setup for the BDS or MPM.
The Check Settings|General dialog box for MPM and BDS is shown below. Network parameters
do not transfer from Check Settings. To change the IP Address, Netmask or Gateway, refer to
Synchronizing Using Check Settings.

Note When you click Upload on Check Settings, the Location Name, Battery Name, and
String Name in the monitor do not overwrite the names in the computer database. However, when
a Central computer is used to download to the monitor, these three names are overwritten in the
monitor when Send is clicked on Battery Setup.
