Enhancements

Fixes

  • Improved checking the bulk CAP door position to avoid bulk CAP and safety door collisions.
  • The library now reports a failure when setting an alternative default IP address or gateway using drive autoconfigIP if the first two octets are the same as those of the library.
  • Increased the power supply count for an SL8500 to 32 for SNMP.
