Setting Ethernet

Ethernet is the method used by the autoloader to access a network. With an Ethernet connection, you can remotely access the autoloader over the network. To use the Ethernet connection, you must define the following:

■A dynamic or static IP address for the autoloader (required)

■A subnet mask (required)

■An IP gateway (optional)

■A Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) server (optional)

■A time server, or set the time and time zone manually (optional)

Setting the IP address

An IP address is the address of any device attached to a network. Each device must have a unique IP address. IP addresses are written as four sets of numbers separated by periods ranging from 0.0.0.0 up to and including 255.255.255.255.

IP addresses are either permanent or dynamically assigned. A permanent, or static, address remains the same each time the device connects to the network server. A dynamic address may change each time the device connects to the network server using Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP).

To set a dynamic IP address:

1From the Main menu, click Configuration, then press ENTER. The Configuration submenu opens.

2Scroll to Ethernet, then press ENTER. The Ethernet submenu opens.

3Scroll to Set IP, then press ENTER. The Set IP screen opens.

4Scroll to DHCP, then press ENTER. “Please reboot to use DHCP” appears on the LCD screen.

5Press and hold the power button on the front panel until “System Shutdown wait 60 sec” appears on the LCD, then release the button. “Power Off” appears on the LCD, then the autoloader shuts off.

6Press the power button again to turn on the autoloader. The IP address is changed.
