Client overlap control

Client Overlap Control is a management policy on controlling how the Web server handles overlapping control requests from multiple clients on the authorized client list. The options include No Locking, Full Locking, and Time-Based Locking.

■No Locking—allows multiple clients to have unrestricted access to control the system as long as they are on the authorized client list.

■Full Locking—permits only one authorized client to issue control requests at a time. This client must release the lock by clicking the Home option in the upper frame of the page to permit other authorized clients to have control access.

■Time-BasedLocking—is similar to Full Locking in that only one authorized client can have control access at once, but the lock is automatically released after the specified number of seconds of inactivity have elapsed.

■Home—is used to release a full or time-based lock and permit another user to access the system

To set the client overlap control:

1From any page, click Configuration. The Configuration screen opens.

2Click Security on the left side of the screen.

3Select a security option from the Client Overlap Control options.

4Click Submit.

Important

A Microsoft issue can keep a user from updating drive or loader firmware over the On-board Remote Management interface. This can occur under Windows Server 2003 with Service Pack 1 (SP1), or if a user has installed Microsoft Security Update MS05-019. This problem appears with a 6F Communication Error message on the front panel with the warning light on. On-board Remote Management continues to report the autoloader status as Initialization.

Microsoft has described a workaround for this problem in their product with Technical Support Article 898060 (http://support.microsoft.com/default.as px?scid=898060). If this problem occurs, the autoloader should be restarted to avoid further communication errors.

You can browse to find system updates, then upload the updates. Updates are available at support.gateway.com for download to the hard drive on the host system.

To get system updates:

1From any page, click Updates. The Firmware Update screen opens.

2Click Browse to navigate to the host system for the update file. The file should end in an .img extension.

3Click Upload. A confirmation box opens.

4Click OK. The autoloader automatically uploads the new code and processes it to the system.
