3. Scroll to the desired setting (from 0 to 15) and press Enter.
4. Press Esc as necessary to return to the main menu. The autoloader does not need to be reset when
making this change.
Setting Magazines
In some cases, autoloader owners were being charged Independent Software Vendor (ISV) licensing fees for
two-magazine autoloaders although only one magazine was configured. This occurred because the ISV
software was registering the autoloader as a two-magazine device, regardless of the number of magazines
configured. You have the ability to set the number of magazines in the autoloader. The default setting is Left.
To set the number of magazines:
1. From the main menu, scroll to Configuration, and then press Enter.
2. From the Configuration menu, scroll to Magazines, and then press Enter.
3. From the Magazines menu, select either Right, Left, or Both to indicate the magazines installed in the
autoloader.
NOTE: The default setting must be reconfigured if the optional right magazine is installed. Host
backup software may also require a configuration change to support the additional media
locations.
Setting Security
You can add security to the front panel by password-protecting the autoloader's functionality. The security
setting only protects the front panel functionality. The default setting is Off, meaning that no password is
required. However, you can enable the security option so that users must enter a password to access
functionality.
Security Option
When you first power on the autoloader, the security option is set to Off. Use the following procedure to
enable the security option. You must have an administrator-level password to set passwords.
To set the security option:
1. From the main menu, scroll to Configuration, and then press Enter.
2. From the Configuration menu, scroll to Security. If a check mark appears before the word, the security
option is On. If no check mark appears, the security option is Off.
3. Press Enter. If you are not logged in as Administrator, press Enter again to log in.
4. To change the option, press Enter. For example, if the security option was set to On, it is now set to
Off, and no check mark appears.
Setting Passwords
Many operations on the autoloader are password-protected to ensure data integrity. You can set passwords
to administrator level and to operator level. Operator-level users have access to the Commands and Status
menus. Administrator-level users have access to all functionality.
