PTIONS
If desired, you can connect to the library’s Ethernet interface to remotely
monitor and manage operation, upgrade firmware, and create diagnostic
listings. Instructions for connecting the library to Ethernet are provided on
page 22 . For information about using the library’s Remote Management utility,
see Chapter 6 .
Configuring the library’s Ethernet interface typically involves specifying the
library’s IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address. The IP address is used
to route information from the library to the server. You can choose between
dynamic (server-assigned) or static (user-assigned) addressing for the IP
address. The subnet mask is used to route information to designated devices
within the network. The gateway address allows information to be routed
outside the subnet. You can also view and set the library’s SNMP (Simple
Network Management Protocol) recipient IP address.
If you are using a network-based library monitor/management application
other than the library’s Remote Management utility, you may need to identify
the library’s SNMP settings to the application. These settings include the read,
write, and broadcast community strings. You can view these settings on the
Ethernet Security screens, but you cannot change their values from the
operator panel. If you need to change the values for these strings, you can use
the library’s Console interface. See page 144 for information about connecting
to the Console interface.
The library also includes an FTP interface that you can use to transfer
firmware files or create diagnostic listings. You can set up an FTP user name
and password for this interface or use the library’s defaults. See page 149 for
instructions for accessing the library’s FTP interface and using an FTP utility
to upgrade firmware or obtain diagnostic listings.

Important
If you remove a tape drive after the Override Drive WWN option
has been in effect, the library-generated WWN stays with the tape
drive. If you want the tape drive to revert to its original WWN,
you must turn off the Override Drive WWN option and reset the
tape drive before removing it from the library.
