3.2 Overview of the Client

The client software is installed on a second Tandem system designed to communicate

with the server Tandem system, which is the host to the silo device. The server

controls the robot on the silo. The client sends its requests to the server, and the server

then sends the request to the silo. The client can only communicate with the silo

through the server.

3.3 Installation of the Client

Note: The Server must be installed before installing the Client!

The installation process of the Silo 9710 Media Manager consists of installing the

software, transferring files and configuring the tape drives to communicate with the

selected host. The tape drives can be configured with any K1000 or S7000. The

maximum number of tape drives that the Silo 9710 Media Manager can configure is

10.
