Configuring The Internal Network; Configuring System Settings - Quantum Scalar i500 User Manual

You cannot configure the security settings from the web client. The path to open the appropriate screen is
as follows:
• From the operator panel, select Tools > Security Settings.

Configuring the Internal Network

Use the Internal Network Configuration screen to configure your library's internal network setting. The
default internal network address is 10.10.10.X.
The library's internal network enables communication among library components. While rare, it is possible
that the default addressing of the internal network could conflict with your network, potentially causing the
library to become confused. When installing the library, make sure that the external network setting is
different than the internal network setting on the library. If DHCP is enabled or you do not know what your
external network setting is, check with your network administrator.
From the operator panel, administrative users can change the setting of the internal network using the
Internal Network Configuration screen. Select the new internal IP address from the list on the screen. You
can select from nine IP addresses.
The Internal Network Configuration screen is only accessible from the operator panel. The path to open the
appropriate screen is as follows:
• From the operator panel, select Tools > Internal Network.

Configuring System Settings

You can use the operator panel System Settings screen to configure the following system-wide settings:
• Touch screen audio enable — A beep sound occurs each time you select a button on the operator
panel. The beep sound can be disabled or enabled at any time by selecting the Touch screen audio
enable checkbox.
• User session timeout (minutes) — The library automatically logs out a user or administrative user
when the library has detected no activity for 30 minutes. You can adjust the user session time by
entering a numeric value in the User session timeout (minutes) text box. Valid user session times
are 15 minutes to 480 minutes.
• Unload assist — Allows you to specify whether the library should automatically eject cartridges from
tape drives. When the setting is enabled, the library will assist with tape drive unload operations in
the event that a tape drive is not unloaded by a host command. When the setting is disabled, the
library will not assist with tape drive unload operations and reject a move request from a tape drive,
if the cartridge is not already unloaded. The Unload assist setting is enabled by default.
• Logical SN addressing enable — The library uses the actual tape drive serial numbers by default.
Selecting the Logical SN addressing enable check box enables the library to assign logical serial
numbers to all tape drives in the library. Specifically, the library assigns a logical serial number to a
tape drive in a specific location, not the serial number of the particular tape drive. If the tape drive
is then replaced by another tape drive in the same library location, the logical serial number remains
the same. From the host application's perspective, the replacement tape drive is the same as the
original.
CAUTION
72 Configuring Your Library
If you change the logical serial number addressing setting, you must power
cycle the library (perform a shutdown and press the power button) or
remove power from each tape drive for the change to take effect.
