5.1.2. Enabling the RMI without rebooting
1. Connect the StorageLoader to the network.
2. Configure network:
a. If you want to use a static IP address, use the front panel to enter a valid static IP
configuration, see Chapter 4.4.3. Remote Management setup.
b. If you want to configure the network subsystem dynamically, from the front panel set
Setup → Remote management → Set IP address mode to DHCP mode.
3. Via the front panel, first set Setup → Remote management → Access control → Allow remote
management to "Not allowed" and select OK. Then set the same value to Allowed and select
OK. This will restart the networking subsystem. Getting a new IP address may take some time
if the StorageLoader is in DHCP mode.
4. Check the IP address via the front panel by accessing either View Data → Remote man. info
→ Static IP address or View Data → Remote man. info → Dynamic IP address depending on
whether the StorageLoader is in static or dynamic IP address mode.
5.2. Remote management web pages
Most of the operations you can perform from the front panel can also be performed remotely using
Web Administration. The Remote Management interface provides access to loader and drive status
and statistical operation information.
The Web pages include a navigation menu making it easy to use, see Figure 5.1.
