Resetting System Defaults

As there is no access to the A-Series tape drive other than the Ethernet port, a mechanism has been implemented to reset the settings to their default values. This is useful if an end user loses the IP address of the A-Series tape drive. The settings can all be set up through the Web manager (i.e. IP settings, root password, ...).

To have the settings set back to their default values:

1Switch off your tape drive.

2Disconnect the network cable from the drive.

3Repeat the following procedure three times:

a Insert a write protected cartridge into the drive. b Switch on the tape drive.

c After approximately one minute, the cartridge will be ejected. d Switch off the drive.
