ECURITY
To prevent unauthorized users from disrupting library operation, you can set
up a password for accessing operator panel menus, using the entry/exit port,
and opening the door. You can enable or disable security in either of the
following ways:
From the operator panel (LCD security) . You can set the security option
from the LCD, as described in this section.
Through your library application (SCSI security) . If your application
supports this feature, you can issue commands from the application to turn
security on and off. Refer to your software documentation for information.
Note: Whichever method you use to enable security (operator panel or
application), you must also use to disable security. That is, if you enable
security from the LCD, you must disable it from the LCD. If you enable
security through your application (SCSI), you must disable it through the
application.
When you enable security, the following activities are prevented:
Changing the robot control mode
Changing configuration settings (except baud rate)
Changing the SCSI Menu options
Changing the Fibre Menu options
Changing the Ethernet Menu options
Cleaning the tape drive(s)
Using the Demo Menu
Using the Command Menu
Unlocking the entry/exit port (LCD security only)
Unlocking and opening the door (LCD security only)
If you attempt to perform any of these operations when security is enabled,
the library displays a message that states security is active.
Note: If you are using the library’s Remote Management utility (see Chapter 6 ),
you can set up a password in the utility to prevent unauthorized users from
accessing menu items through the utility that would disrupt operation. This
password is separate from the password set for LCD security.

Important
LCD security includes prevention of access through the entry/exit
port and door. If you enable security through your application,
access through the entry/exit port and door is not prevented.
Separate commands for preventing entry/exit port and door
access may be available through your application. Refer to your
software documentation for information.
