Configuring the Library

After you have installed the hardware described in Setting up the Library Hardware, you are ready to configure your librarys settings. A Setup Wizard helps you get started configuring your library, and the menu commands on both the front panel interface and the remote management interface allow you to reconfigure your library at any time.

About the Setup Wizard

When you first power on the library, the front panel interface displays the Setup Wizard, which walks you through the initial configuration of the library's operational settings, including network settings that enable you to access the library from the remote management interface. You must begin the Setup Wizard on the front panel, but you have the option to complete the Setup Wizard on the remote management interface.

The Setup Wizard prompts you to enter the network settings that allow the remote management interface to access the library. Once this step is complete, you must choose to either complete the wizard locally (on the front panel) or remotely (on the remote management interface).

Configuring the library is not a one-time process. The Setup Wizard is simply an aid to assist you with the initial configuration. You can always return to the Setup Wizard or use commands on the Setup menu to modify all library settings, including network settings.

Power cycling (powering the library on and off) is not necessary to configure the

Note library.

Using the Default Administrative User Account (Administrator)

When you power on the library for the first time, you do not need to log in to use the front panel. You can start using the Setup Wizard immediately. When the library is powered ON for the first time, the password protection to the FPI is disabled. As long as there is no FPI password enabled, regardless of how many times the system is restarted, the library will have this free access.

Once you enable the FPI password, you always need the password to access the FPI.

A User Name and password is always required to access the system via the Web client. It is not possible to access the library remotely without entering a password. The library ships with a default administrative user account for the RMI. When you see the Login screen on the remote management interface, type the default information of Administrator in the User Name field and leave the Password field blank. The user name and password are case-sensitive.
