Using the Remote Management Unit
This section discusses using the remote management unit (RMU) interface. The RMU comes preinstalled
in your autoloader. Before it can be used, though, you must configure it. Refer to Configuring the Remote
Management Unit on page 14.
Overview
You can manage your autoloader remotely over an IP network by means of a web browser. All available
functions are accessible without the need of a dedicated server or separate software. The operator panel
Commands menu is not accessible by means of the RMU, but much of the functionality available under
Commands can be found in the RMU Maintenance page.
RMU functionality is as follows:
• Configure the autoloader, drive, and media
• Reset, save, and reload the configuration
• Display autoloader, drive, and media status
• Configure the logs and traces
• Display logs and traces
• Administer passwords
• Set the time and date
• Configure event notification
• Reset the autoloader
• Run autoloader operations
• Perform diagnostic tests
• Update autoloader and drive firmware
In addition to these functions, the RMU interface offers help pages and support information.
NOTE:
If the RMU is in operation, you only have access to the operator panel
Information menu. In order to go offline and manage the autoloader by means
of the operator panel, you have to log off the RMU.
