Configuring the device
Now that the autoloader is connected to the host and powered on, configure it for your environment.
To configure the autoloader:
1. Set the administrator password. Setting an administrator password provides access to the
administrator functions with the RMI or OCP, and restricts access to administrator functions to
only those who know the administrator password. The autoloader comes with a null
administrator password, which until set allows unrestricted access to all administrative functions
through the OCP but not the RMI. Once the administrator password has been set from the
OCP, it can be changed from either the OCP or RMI.
2. Set the date and time. The date and time are used by the autoloader to record events and
should be set during the initial installation process. (See “Setting the date and time
(Configuration > Autoloader Date/Time)” (page 76).)
3. Configure the autoloader network settings. Configuring the autoloader network settings enables
you to monitor, configure, and control most autoloader functions from the RMI. By default, the
device will obtain an IP address from an IPv4 DHCP server. Optionally, you can configure
the device to use a static IP address. Once logged into the RMI, you can administer further
network changes through the RMI. (See “Configuring network settings (Configuration >
Configure Network Settings)” (page 76).)
The device supports IPv4 and IPv6 Internet Protocols. By default, the device is configured to
use IPv4, the most common version. You can enable IPv6 or both Internet Protocols from the
OCP or RMI. You must finish configuring IPv6 from the RMI. (See “Changing the network
configuration” (page 51).)
Verifying the connection
To verify the connection between the host computer and the autoloader:
1. Install the application software and/or drivers that are compatible with the autoloader. Software
compatibility information is available at www.hp.com/go/automated. Backup software
packages may require additional software or licensing to communicate with the robotics.
