NTP server
2
Network Time Protocol (NTP) is any device that responds to NTP time
requests and synchronizes the clocks of computers (clients or servers)
over a network. Enter a NTP server address.
You can set the NTP server IP address in the SDLT 600A Setup page. This
is required to synchronize the SDLT 600A tape drive on a network.
For example, the NTP server stamps its date and time metadata when a
new file is stored on a SDLT 600A cartridge.
To set the IP:
1
Connect the NTP time server to your network.
2
Set the NTP server IP address in the SDLT 600A Setup page.
SNMP manager
2
A Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Manager or SNMP
Service is an application that performs the operational roles of generating
requests to modify and retrieve management information, and receiving
the requested information and trap-event reports that are generated by
the SNMP agent. Enter an SNMP address.
SNMP traps for tape alerts are sent after each 1 GB of transfer. They are
checked every 30 seconds (whether a client is connected or not) when no
data is transferring.
Timeout FTP Session (in minutes)
2
Timeout values can be set to indicate no activity for the FTP server and
the built-in FTP client.
• FTP Server
The FTP server timeout value is set here. A zero entry sets the default
timeout value to 15 minutes.
Note:
Make sure your PC’s clock is accurate. Use a standard time
utility to match the atomic clock value. See
