Remote Management Interface

The remote management interface is similar to the front panel interface. The remote management interface is accessible from any supported web browser. For more information on supported web browsers, refer to Browser Requirements. To manage the library from a remote management interface, you must set up the librarys initial network configuration from the front panel. For information on network configuration settings for remote use, refer to Configuring Network Settings.

Menu Trees

The following four menus organize commands into logical groupings:

The Operations menu consists of commands that enable you to change the librarys mode of operations, import and export cartridges, load and unload tape drives, eject magazines, clean drive and change partition mode.

The Setup menu consists of commands that you can use to set up and configure various aspects of the library, including network, partitions, I/E stations, cleaning slots, drive configuration, license, password, menu timeout, date and time, barcode scan, and audible alarm.

The Reports menu consists of summaries of the values assigned during library setup. It also includes viewing of RAS tickets and diagnostic logs.

The Tools menu consists of commands that you can use to maintain your library such as restore default settings, reboot, prepare for shipping, update firmware, and run system tests.

Figure 14 Front Panel Interface Menu Tree and Figure 15 Remote Management Interface Top Level Menu Tree give an overview of the menus on the front panel and the remote management interface. Table 2. Front Panel Interface Menu Structure and Table 3. Remote Management Interface Menu Structure describe the same menus but with more details.
