Setting Network Options

When you originally installed the autoloader, you set the Ethernet configurations through the front LCD panel. However, you

can modify them through the Remote Management Unit. The options include Current Network Parameters, Set IP, and

Set Network Configuration. To change the Ethernet configurations:

To view the Current Network Parameters:

1. From any page, click the Configuration heading. The Configuration screen displays.

2. From the Configuration menu, click Networking.

The Current Network Parameters area displays the current IP address, MAC address, and the speed setting for the

Ethernet connection.

In the Set IP section, if a check mark appears in the box next to DHCP, the dynamic IP address option is enabled. This

means that with every reset of the system, the IP address may change depending on the network administrator's settings.

To Set IP address:

1. Clear the check box to remove the check mark from the DHCP field, if applicable.

2. In the IP address fields, type the static IP address using the key to move from box to box.

3. If no check mark appears in the box next to DHCP, the static IP address option is enabled. To change a static IP

address, type in the new address in the IP address fields using the key to move from box to box.

4. To change the IP address from a static address to a dynamic address, click the box next to DHCP.

To Set Network Configuration:

1. To change the values of the subnet mask, gateway, Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) server, or the time

server, type in the new address, using the key to move from box to box.

2. Click submit.

Setting Front Panel Security Options

When you enable the security option, users must enter a password to access the autoloader's front panel functionality. A

password allows either administrator-level access or operator-level access (see "

Setting Security

"). Up to two Admin and two

Operator passwords may be set. To set security:

1. From any page, click the Configuration heading. The Configuration screen displays.

2. On the left-hand side of the screen, click Security. The System Security section of the screen displays.

3. To enable front panel security, select the check box next to Front Panel Security Enabled.

If the check box is blank, the security option for the front LCD panel is not enabled.

4. Click submit.

To reset the front panel password:

1. From any page, click the Configuration heading. The Configuration screen displays.

2. On the left-hand side of the screen, click Security.
