Configuration

Description

Option

 

SCSI Menu:

 

 

 

SCSI IDs

Setting SCSI IDs is required for library operation. View the default

 

settings and change them if necessary.

 

 

Emulation Mode

Setting an emulation mode is required if your application software

 

does not support a Plasmon V15.

 

 

SCSI Parity

By default, parity checking is enabled. If desired, you can disable

 

parity checking for the library if the SCSI adapter card connected

 

to the library does not support parity checking.

 

 

Configuration Menu:

 

 

 

Baud Rate

Setting a baud rate is only required for communicating over the

 

serial port for firmware upgrades and diagnostics. You do not need

 

to set this option for normal library operations.

 

 

Clean Slot

These three options allow you to set up automatic tape drive

Autoclean

cleaning.

Clean Cycles Left

Note: To use automatic cleaning, a cleaning cartridge must be

 

installed.

 

 

POST Barcode Scan

If your software application does not automatically scan barcode

 

labels when the library powers up or when the door is opened and

 

closed, you can set this option so the library automatically scans

 

the labels. By default, this option is turned off when the library is

 

shipped.

 

Note: If your library does not include a barcode scanner, the LCD

 

shows “N/A” after the option.

 

 

Verify Barcode

This option instructs the library to look for barcode labels with

Checksums

checksum characters. If you plan to use barcode labels that

 

include checksum characters, you should enable this feature. By

 

default, this option is turned off when the library is shipped.

 

Note: If your library does not include a barcode scanner, the LCD

 

shows “N/A” after the option.

 

 

Security Menu:

 

 

 

Security

By setting security, you prevent unauthorized personnel from dis-

 

rupting the operation of the library through either the LCD keypad

 

or the SCSI bus.
