Ethernet
Ethernet is the method the autoloader uses to access a network. With an Ethernet connection, you can remotely access the autoloader over the network to which it is connected. To use the Ethernet connection, you must define the following:
■A dynamic or static IP address for the autoloader
■A subnet mask
■An IP gateway
If you want SNMP alerts or a link to a time server you must define the following:
■A Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) server (for SNMP alerts)
■A Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) time server, or set the time and timezone manually
Note: The DLT1 and SDLT autoloaders do not have a battery so if time is manually set, it is lost and needs to be reset whenever the autoloader is power cycled.
Autoloader IP Address
An Internet Protocol (IP) address is the address of any device that is 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 to 255.255.255.255.
IP addresses are either permanent or dynamically assigned. A permanent address remains the same each time the device connects to a network. A dynamic address changes each time the device connects to the network, and is assigned by the network server using a class of software called Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP).
When you first power on the autoloader, the default method for setting the IP address is the dynamic method (DHCP). If you want to use DHCP you can skip this step. To determine the IP address when using DHCP, view the Ethernet status information (see “View Ethernet Information”).
