Users Guide

Congure the date and time settings with one of three methods: automatically with a remote NTP time
server on the network, automatically with the clock on your host computer, or manually.
Note: If you manually set your date and time, you must reset the date and time after the library is power-
cycled and after a library reset.
Note: When the library is power-cycled, wait 10 seconds after the power is OFF before the library is
powered ON again.
Once the network settings are entered on the Operator Panel, the current date and time can be modied
with the Web User Interface.
The TL1000 Tape Autoloader communicates with an NTP server with the following conditions:
• Client/server basis operation
• UDP (User Datagram Protocol) to access the NTP server
• Does not use authentication keys
• Library polling is every 12 hours
To modify the date and time settings:
1. In the Congure Library menu in the left navigation pane of the Web User Interface, click Date and
Time.
2. Select the Date and Time settings.
• Select the Enable NTP Server check box to enable time and date control with a time server on the
network.
– NTP server address - Enter the IP address of the time server. IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are
supported, depending on the TCP/IP settings. Host names can be entered instead of numerical IP
addresses if Use DNS is selected in the Network settings.
