Set Security
The Security option allows you to prevent unauthorized
personnel from disrupting the operation of the library. When you
enable security, the following activities are prevented:
Changing SCSI IDs
Changing SCSI parity checking
Changing the control mode
Setting the library serial number
Changing the installed tape drive model
Using the LCD Diagnostics Menu and Demo Menu
Using the Clean Drives Menu
Opening the front door
Communicating with a tape drive across a serial port
Extending the entry/exit port
If you attempt to perform any of these operations when security
is enabled, the library displays a message that states security is
active. The message also states whether security was enabled from
the operator panel or by the application through a SCSI
command.
Methods for enabling and disabling security
Security can be enabled and disabled in either of two ways:
You can set the security option from the LCD on the operator
panel using the Configuration Menu, as described in this
section.
The application software can issue a SCSI MODE SELECT
command to turn security on and off (see your software
documentation or the EXB-440 and EXB-480 8mm Libraries
SCSI Reference).
