IP Address Ranges
IP Address Ranges or subnets inform what IP addresses your system will accept when importing equipment.
They can be entered manually under Network > BMU Overview by clicking on the name of an existing BMU and using the green Add New IP Address Range button. If no BMU device currently exists in your system, the Powercode Support team can assist you in creating an appropriate entry.
If you have a large number of IP Address Ranges it may be worth importing them by submitting the bmuAddressRange excel sheet to Powercode Support.
