IBM Magstar 3494 Installing and Conguring, Starting Dcaf on the Remote Library Manager Console

Installing and Con®guring

The Remote Library Manager Console feature can use one of two communication protocols to establish communications between the remote (controlling workstation) console and the 3494 (target workstation) library manager. To establish communications between the remote library manager console and the 3494, the communications protocol and LAN adapter protocol support must be properly con®gured. Con®guration is handled by the installation program, which is on the Remote Library Manager Console feature disk.
