Use the Network configuration screen to configure the library network settings. The network settings set the connectivity of the library to the network.

If Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is enabled on your network, enabling DHCP will automatically configure the library network settings. If DHCP is not enabled on your network, you need to manually configure the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway settings.

Details on network settings include:

The library can be set to DHCP mode, or the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway must be configured. DHCP is selected by default.

The IP Address, Default Gateway, and Subnet Mask text boxes are limited to numeric characters. Each of the four groups cannot have a value greater than 255.

The paths to open the appropriate screens are:

From the RMI select Setup > Network

After the initial setup of your library you can access the Network configuration screens directly from both the FPI and the RMI:

From the RMI, select Setup > Network

From the FPI, select Setup > Network

Remote Access

If you choose to complete the Setup Wizard remotely, the FPI wizard automatically displays the Network settings you need to access the RMI.

The network settings are also viewable from the front panel Reports > Remote Management Info screen. The screen provides the information necessary to access the remote management interface.

The screen lists the IP address of the library. Use this IP address to access the remote management interface using a web browser. When typing the IP address into a web browser, make sure to precede it with http:// (for example, http://123.123.123.123).

Applying a License Key

A license key can be purchased and applied to the library to increase the number of available slots from 24 to 40. The license key is applied during the initial configuration of the library or at any time in the future.

An instruction sheet that describes how to use the license key is provided in the accessory kit. Contact Technical Support for more information on obtaining a license key. For contact information, see Getting More Information or Help.

The license key is made up of to 5 printable characters. The license key is case-

Note sensitive.

The license key is verified when it is applied to the library. It cannot be transferred to another library.

The license key can be entered when running the Setup Wizard. After the initial setup of your library you can later access the Activate License configuration screens directly:
