Using the remote management interface
(RMI)
With the RMI, you can monitor, con
fi
gure, and operate most Autoloader
functions from a web browser.
HP recommends that, when possible, the RMI be used as the primary
Autoloader interface because the web interface provides access to
additional features, includes online help, and is easier to use. However,
the RMI is not required to use the product, except to con
fi
gure SNMP
and IPv6. The only tasks you cannot do from the RMI are:
•
Opening the mailslot.
•
Initiating the Wellness test.
•
Saving and restoring
fi
les and downloading
fi
rmware with the USB
fl
ash drive.
To enable the Autoloader’s RMI, follow the instructions in this installation
process to:
•
Connect the Autoloader to your local area network with an Ethernet
cable (Step 14).
•
Con
fi
gure the network (Step 15).
•
Set the Administrator password using the OCP (Step 17).
Logging in
Using the OCP,

nd the Autoloader’s IP address from the
Info > Network
screen. Open any HTML web browser and enter the Autoloader’s IP
address. Select the account type. For the administrator account, you
must also enter the administrator password. Click

.
Once signed in, click
Help
in the upper right-hand corner for more
information about the
fi
elds and information in the RMI.
