RMI access msl 2024 g3

I have an msl 2024 g3 series and I want to access web admin page and I can't do it.
I connected my notebook to ethernet rear port on msl and is like port is turn off, I can't see link when I plugg the cord and I tried with differents cords (crossover and direct) and nothing....
On OCP I enabled IPv4 (192.168.1.10 mask 255.255.255.0), dhcp is disabled, also ipv6 is disabled.
I tried with another notebook and nothing.
Finally I rebooted the msl 2024 and also nothing.
What can be happening?
On rear, between serial port and usb port there is a led that is blinking all the time (each one or two seconds).
Thanks

Did you try another (crossed) cable? Check if you are using proxy settings in browser.

Hope this helps!

Re: RMI access msl 2024 g3

yes I tested the configuration changing the cords and the passwords a twice.
Can be happening that msl 2024 hadn't been provided with the rear card (ethernet + serial + usb connectors), how can I test the serial and usb connector? or directly than ethernet port work fine?
Thanks

Re: RMI access msl 2024 g3

The USB is for updating firmware / storing support tickets only. Never used the serial.

If all settings/cables/etc. are OK, the card is maybe bad ...

Hope this helps!

Re: RMI access msl 2024 g3

So, it isn't way to test ethernet port work fine, any led to check?
I'm thinking to install L&TT software, I've never used, do you know?, could this software help?

Re: RMI access msl 2024 g3

I have never tried connecting Ethernet directly but it should be able to work.

Are you using a laptop that has a static IP address in the 192.168.x.x range? Most of the time laptops running Windows will be DHCP and default to a 169.254.x.x IP address. For that address to work you need to set the library address to a 169.254.x.x and the subnet to 255.255.0.0.

There are LED's on the Ethernet port and if you plug the library into a hub or switch with activity on it then you should see activity on the library. You might not see much just plugging a laptop in directly.

On rear card there isn't a led of ethernet port.
I tested with your dhcp configuration but nothing.....
What about L&TT software? do you advice me to install it?
The msl 2024 is connected to a hp proliant dl 380 with windows server 2003 r2....

Re: RMI access msl 2024 g3

There are LED's on the Ethernet port. Are you hooked into the port on the library controller off to the side of the library? LTO-5 drives have an Ethernet port on them but it isn't currently enabled so if you plugged in there you wouldn't get anything.

I don't know that L&TT would be able to detect anything interesting about the Ethernet port. It would report the IP address but you can see that on the front panel as well.

My msl 2024 has only one lto4 drive.
Definitely I'm going to desist, I don't know how more to do.
Thank you for the advices.
