ITDT Help

With the button Config in the Control Center panel you can select the option TCP/IP Port to set the Internet Protocol (IP) address configuration for supported tape drives.

It is possible to use IPv4 values as well as IPv6 values.
The configuration values may include the IP address, subnet mask length, and DHCP enablement.
A valid SubNetMask Length for IPv4 is between 0 and 32 and for IPv6 between 0 and 128.
If DHCP is enabled, IP Address and SubNetMask will be ignored.

The TCP/IP port configuration requires the following steps:

• Select the tape drive for which the configuration is to be changed in the Control Center panel of ITDT.
• Choose the TCP/IP Port option under the Config button.
• The TCP IP Configuration panel to the right will show the current configuration of the drive.
• Select one configuration (port/socket) you want to edit either by double-click or select one and press the Configure button.
• Provide values for the TCP/IP address (either IPv4or IPv6), subnet mask length or DHCP IPv4.
• By selecting the Reset button, the current data will be reset to factory defaults.
• For an additional DHCP IPv4 address, set DHCP_V4 to 1.
• Select the Apply button to set the new configuration.
• A green checkmark will be shown on top and the Result field will show PASSED.

In case of errors the Result field shows FAILED. Possible reasons could be:
