Performing manual product identification

This feature (which requires a password) allows an arbitrary device to be mapped as a specific
device family within L&TT. This feature is most commonly used when the product ID (SCSI inquiry)
string does not match the string expected by L&TT. The string may have been changed or corrupted,
or the product is operating in “boot code” mode.

To manually identify a device:

1.

Select a product in the device list.

2.

Select Manual Product Identification from the Function menu.

3.

Choose the product family that best matches the selected device.

NOTE:

For L&TT versions prior to 2.7 SR2a, manual product identification (previously called

override mapping) was performed by right-clicking the device in the device list and choosing the
appropriate product family.

When manual product identification is enabled, L&TT automatically operates in restricted mode.
In this mode, the firmware update options are preselected to enable selection of firmware for any
product ID and also set the update product ID option. To update the product ID, select the
proper firmware file and click the Start Update button.

Running the device independent utilities

The device independent utilities do not require a tape device to be connected to the computer

running L&TT. The device independent utilities are accessed from the Utilities > Run Utilities menu.

To run a device connection independent utility from the Windows interface:
