Table 4. Library Configuration Options

Configuration

Option

Description

SCSI Menu:

SCSI IDs

Setting SCSI IDs is required for library operation. View the default
settings and change them if necessary.

Emulation Mode

Setting an emulation mode is required if your application software
does not support a Plasmon V15.

SCSI Parity

By default, parity checking is enabled. If desired, you can disable
parity checking for the library if the SCSI adapter card connected
to the library does not support parity checking.

Configuration Menu:

Baud Rate

Setting a baud rate is only required for communicating over the
serial port for firmware upgrades and diagnostics. You do not need
to set this option for normal library operations.

Clean Slot
Autoclean
Clean Cycles Left

These three options allow you to set up automatic tape drive
cleaning.
Note: To use automatic cleaning, a cleaning cartridge must be
installed.

POST Barcode Scan If your software application does not automatically scan barcode

labels when the library powers up or when the door is opened and
closed, you can set this option so the library automatically scans
the labels. By default, this option is turned off when the library is
shipped.
Note: If your library does not include a barcode scanner, the LCD
shows “N/A” after the option.

Verify Barcode
Checksums

This option instructs the library to look for barcode labels with
checksum characters. If you plan to use barcode labels that
include checksum characters, you should enable this feature. By
default, this option is turned off when the library is shipped.
Note: If your library does not include a barcode scanner, the LCD
shows “N/A” after the option.

Security Menu:

Security

By setting security, you prevent unauthorized personnel from dis-
rupting the operation of the library through either the LCD keypad
or the SCSI bus.
