  • Page 25 312 for detailed information. Encryption Key Management The Spectra T200, T380, and T680 libraries can encrypt data and manage encryption keys using BlueScale key management or Spectra SKLM key management system. Spectra SKLM encryption runs on a stand alone server and provides centralized encryption key management.
  • Page 26 You can click the maintenance icon on the status bar to send the AutoSupport Log (ASL) file to Spectra Logic Technical Support so they can review the log file and determine if any maintenance tasks are needed.

    Spectra PC and Spectra LS Depending on when you purchased your library, your library may use either the Spectra LS or the Spectra PC as the LCM. The Spectra LS provides the same functionality as the Spectra PC and includes features that allow for new functionality in the future.
  • Page 39  If you are using a BlueScale version prior to BlueScale12.3.0, either Ethernet port on the Spectra LS can be used. However, only one Ethernet port at a time can be used. If cables are connected to both ports, the module automatically checks for active connections and uses the first connection that it detects.
