Note:
For SL3000 and SL8500 libraries using the Redundant Electronics feature, this is the 2B port on the active controller card. - Library Secondary IP Address
-
This field does not apply to SL150 and SL500 libraries and should be left blank.

-
Unique SNMP engine ID of the library automatically provided by the library whenever a library data collection is performed.
Under normal circumstances, you should not modify this field. However, if you have reason to believe the library engine ID has changed (due to a firmware upgrade, for example), you should blank out this field and STA will detect the new engine ID during the next Check/Test Connection or Get Latest Data operation. This is the only time you should modify this field.
- Automated Daily Data Refresh
-
Enter the time of day when you want STA to collect the latest configuration data from the library. The data will be collected automatically every 24 hours at this time, local to the time zone you specify in the Time Zone field.
The default is 00:00 (12:00 am). Use 24-hour time format for your entry (for example, 13:00 is 1:00 pm).
Note:
It is recommended that you choose a time period when there is typically lighter library usage, so the data collection does not conflict with other significant library activity.Caution:
If you leave this field blank, scheduled automatic library data collections will be disabled. This will cause your STA library configuration data to become out of sync with the library. - Library Time Zone
-
In the menu, select the library's local time zone.
