server, follow these steps:

2. Insert one end of the Ethernet cable into the ENET0 port on the back of the
library (see
Figure 10-1 on page 10-2 ).
3. Connect the other end of the cable to the Ethernet switch for the network.
4. Start an Internet browser on a computer on the network.
5. Type the library’s hostname, http://qualstarxls , in the address line for the
browser. See Figure 10-2 .

Important:
The XLS uses cookies to verify proper login and to
“remember” any custom view settings that you select for the
browser. At a minimum, you must allow session cookies to
prevent X-Link from blocking access to commands. However,
if you allow cookies for the session only, any changes you
make to the Home page layout will be lost as soon as you log
out.
Important:
If your network includes an automatic Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server and dynamic domain
name system (DNS), you can use the primary Ethernet
connector (ENET0) for the initial configuration. The library
hostname, qualstarxls , will be automatically available to the
network.
