60 Configuring the Library
The remote Administrator has access to all features in the library. The remote operator has access to
the same features as the local operator. The remote Administrator is the only one to set the remote
passwords for both the Administrator and Operator. All remote Operators log in using the same
password. All remote Administrators log in using the same password.
Note that when setting the remote password, the password is transmitted in plain text over the
network. On subsequent use, however, password encryption is used.
The path to open the appropriate screen is:
• From the RMI, select Setup > Web Password
Configuring SNMP
The library supports system monitoring via SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) and SNMP
notifications. To enable SNMP, the remote management interface must be running. To enable SNMP
notifications, you need to register the IP address of the notification recipient (host).
The library ignores all SNMP SET operations, so external management applications cannot register
themselves to receive SNMP traps from the library. The SNMP notification screen lets you manually
register an external application.
SNMP notification can only be set up by the Administrator from the remote management interface.
The screen lists the existing IP address. The Port number is fixed to 162 UDP.
The user needs to register the IP address of the notification recipient in the empty IP address field
displayed on the screen.
If you want to disable SNMP notifications enter 0.0.0.0 in the IP address field. Note that this disables
notification only. The library will continue to process SNMP Get requests as long as the RMI is
enabled.
Note
You need to install the appropriate MIB for your FW version on the host on which
the SNMP manager is running.
The path to open the appropriate screen is:
• From the RMI, select Setup > Notification
Configuring Notifications
The library can be configured to automatically notify whenever an issue of a particular severity level
occurs with one of its components. The notification can be received on the FPI, RMI or by e-mail.
The notification received by e-mail provides a so called RAS ticket, a short problem description, and a
possible cause which may be of help either to you or a customer service engineer. For more
information about RAS tickets, please refer to About RAS Tickets.
Severity Level
The library can be configured to filter out RAS tickets according to a Severity Level Threshold. There
are three levels available:
• Low – An error has occurred in the library, but the library is not in danger of failing. (This setting
enables all RAS tickets.)
• High - The library is not in immediate danger of failing, but current problems could lead to a failure
in the future. (This setting enables RAS tickets with priority 1 and 2 only.)
