4-8 Description
600561-A
Remote Management Unit (RMU)
The RMU resides in each system and is pre-installed at the
factory. (Please contact ADIC for pricing and installation on
this option for all chassises manufactured prior to August
2000.) The RMU allows remote access via a Web browser to
the library. The RMU supports Microsoft Internet Explorer
version 4.0 and above, as well as Netscape Navigator versions
4.01, 4.5, and 4.73. All available functions, as described below,
are accomplished without the need of a dedicated server (or
separate software).
The RMU performs the following functions:
• Allows the user to quickly access the status of the system,
including library and drive conditions, firmware levels
and other useful information.
• Provides remote operation of all library Operator Panel
(LCD) functions via the Web browser.
• Updates firmware in the RMU and the library’s
controller.
• Supports Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
version 2.0 and acts as an SNMP-server, generating
SNMP traps and responding to SNMP requests.
• Acquires Tape Alert 3.0 compatibility information from
the library over the serial interface port and sends that
information to a SNMP server.
• Detects a power loss and generates a SNMP trap for
notification.
• Allows for the retrieval of the library command and error
logs and the RMU error log.
• Allows an administrator to make configuration changes
such as network, users, and date/time changes.
• Provides on-line access to Scalar 1000 documentation.

and 1 year chassis warranty is void.
