interface is supported for configuring the SNMP server. However, extended SNMP functions such as availability of tape

information through SNMP, SNMP traps for tape events, availability of global tape status information through SNMP,

availability of information through SNMP to classify the loader as a tape device, etc. are not supported.

To set an SNMP server:

1. From the main menu, scroll to Configuration, and then press Enter.

2. From the Configuration menu, scroll to Ethernet, and then press Enter.

3. From the Ethernet submenu, scroll to Set SNMP Server, and then press Enter. The cursor automatically appears at

the first digit.

4. At each position of the SNMP server address, use the up and down arrows to change the value of each digit. Press

Enter to advance the cursor to the next digit.

When you have advanced through all of the digits of the SNMP server address, the autoloader displays Enter to
save.

NOTE: If you make a mistake, press Escape to backspace to the digit you want to change.

5. Press Enter. New SNMP Server xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx appears on the LCD. You do not need to reboot the autoloader.

6. Press Escape or Enter to return to the Ethernet submenu.

Setting the Time

The system time is displayed by the Remote Management Unit and it is used internally when logging events and errors. The

system time is either regular time or power-on time. Regular time is Month/Date/Year Time, such as Nov/21/2004 19:28.

Power-on time is Power On Cycles (POC)/Power On Hours (POH). For example, POC: 00121, POH: 00002:07:45 where POC

is the number of times the system has booted since it was manufactured, and POH is the number of hours, minutes, and

seconds since the last system boot. If regular time is known, it will be used, otherwise power-on time is used.

The PowerVault 124T autoloader must be reset after each power up. The time can be reset automatically if a time server is

configured (see "

Setting the Time Server

").

Setting the Time Server

If you locate a time server that is compatible with Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP), you can connect the autoloader to a

server that will supply the correct date and time. The autoloader uses this information to time stamp information in its

memory.

To set a time server:

1. From the main menu, scroll to Configuration, and then press Enter.

2. From the Configuration menu, scroll to Ethernet, and then press Enter.

3. From the Ethernet submenu, scroll to Set Time Server, and then press Enter. The cursor automatically appears at

the first digit.

4. At each position of the time server address, use the up and down arrows to change the value of each digit. Press Enter

to advance the cursor to the next digit.

When you have advanced through all of the digits of the time server address, the autoloader displays Enter to save.

NOTE: If you make a mistake, press Escape to backspace to the digit you want to change.

5. Press Enter. New Time Server xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx appears on the LCD. You do not need to reboot the autoloader.
