4b.  Configure the Network (port 1) Using DHCP:

Note:  This requires that you have an Ethernet cable plugged into Network port 1 or else the library will not initialize because it will need the IP adress to be assigned by a DHCP server.

    1.Tap the DHCP button.
    2.Enter the Host Name (see FIGURE 4-9 on page 61):
       a.Tap the Edit button to access the keyboard screen.

    3.Verify the values are correct and tap the next screen (forward arrow) button.
       The apply changes screen appears.

5.  Apply the Settings:

    1.Verify the entered values for the date, time, and network interface.

Note – Alter any incorrect value before applying changes by tapping the highlighted back arrow.

Caution – Make sure all values are correct. If incorrect values are applied, the library must be returned to factory default values and the entire process repeated.

    2.Tap the Apply button.

The library performs a restart. The duration of the restart varies based upon the number of modules in the library (a 30 cartridge base module library takes about seven minutes). After completion of the restart, the Home screen appears on the touch screen.

Note – The top portion of the Home screen provides information on the library Health and the online/offline state. Make sure the library is online before using the SL150 remote interface.

You can now verify that the configuration settings are correct by either the local OP Panel on the library or by the Web GUI from a Web browser.
