If you change the internal IP addressing, and if Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is enabled and DHCP assigns to the library an IP address that conflicts with the internal network, address conflicts could occur between internal library devices and external customer devices and the library will issue an event.

To change the Internal IP Network Addressing:

1.

Make sure that you are viewing the physical library. From the View menu or in the Managed

Views region of the LMC, click the name of the physical library.

To change any other settings, type the appropriate values into the corresponding fields and select or clear the appropriate radio boxes.

A Warning message appears, explaining that you are changing the network configuration from a remote client, and that the connection to the library will be lost until you restart the remote client.

5.

If you are sure that you want to make the change, click Yes. If you are unsure about whether the change is appropriate, click No.

6.

After the library processes the request successfully, a message appears that asks you whether you want to shut down the library. You must shut down and restart the library.
