Set Time

Enables you to set the module’s clock.

Set Baud Rate

Enables you to set the data transmission rate of the module’s trace port. This
function is intended for use by Customer Engineers only. The default is 38400
bits/sec.

Set Serial Number

This option enables you to alter the Base Module’s serial number as stored in
the unit. The Base Module’s robotics reports these settings in response to the
SCSI Inquiry command, in the Unit Serial Number Page.

Set Unload Mode

This option determines whether a SCSI Move Medium command is interpreted
as implicit or explicit. If implicit, when the module receives a SCSI Move
Medium command for a fetch from a drive, it unloads the drive before
attempting to fetch a cartridge from that drive. If explicit, the host must issue a
SCSI Unload command before each Move Medium command where the
source element is a drive. The default is Implicit.

Set Auto Clean Mode

This function, when enabled, will sense the tape drive’s cleaning request and
after the next unload, load a Cleaning Cartridge into the drive. After cleaning
is complete, the cartridge is returned to slot. The default is disabled.

NOTE: This function is application dependent.

Set Negotiation

This option allows the Base Module to initiate negotiations for synchronous
data transfer and wide data transfer from the host. Only models with a
fast/wide drive installed can initiate a ‘wide’ negotiation. The default is Do
Not Initiate.

Set Mail Slot

Some of the available host software enables the system administrator to limit
access to the library as a whole while permitting insertion into or removal
from the library of one or more tape cartridges when needed. This feature is
commonly called a mail slot. It is implemented using SCSI Import/Export
elements.
