STEP 3:
ATTACH THE INTERCONNECT CABLE
Once you have installed the RMC, attach the interconnect cable from
the diagnostic serial port on the RMC to the library serial port.
STEP 4:
ESTABLISH A RMC-TO-HOST CONNECTION FOR
LIBRARY MANAGEMENT
a.
Connect an Ethernet cable from the ETH 0 port on the RMC to one of the following:
--
A TCP/IP network segment with a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
server
--
A non-DHCP computer directly connected to the RMC using a hub or crossover
cable
b.
Make sure the host computer is turned on.
c.
Turn on the library. The RMC broadcasts a DHCP request. If you are using a DHCP
server, the server will assign an IP address to the RMC.
d.
Get the IP address assigned to the RMC.
If the host computer is on the same network as a DHCP server,
go to the DHCP
Manager window on the DHCP server and find the IP address assigned to the RMC. As
an alternative, you can also obtain this information from the library’s operator control
panel by selecting Main > QuickView > Library > Network.
If the host computer is not on a DHCP network,
configure the RMC with network information (IP address, subnet
mask, and gateway) compatible with the host computer as follows:
--
At the operator control panel of the library, select Main > Menu > Config.
--
When the Configuration screen appears, scroll down until IP Address is highlighted and then press Select. This
causes the first portion of the IP Address to be highlighted.
--
Use the Up and Down buttons to increase or decrease the value of the selected portion of the IP address. Then, press
Select to jump to the next portion of the IP address. Continue using the Up, Down, and Select buttons to modify the
rest of the IP address. Pressing Select after modifying the last portion of the IP address saves the new IP address and
highlights the entire parameter. (Be sure to select an available IP address in this same class as the host computer’s
network.)
--
Using the same procedure, select and modify the Subnet Mask and Gateway parameters as appropriate.
