Connect to the Service Port

If your company's network is not set up to use DHCP or you do not have access to the Internet, follow the instructions below:

Note: You must use a Windows PC when connecting to the service port and do not use Internet Explorer to connect to the WebGUI.

  1. Download the latest firmware package from Quantum.com and put it onto a laptop. After you click the link to Quantum.com, select the Firmware tab. You're looking for the link next to Scalar i3 Library.

    Note: You'll need your library serial number to download the firmware file. Click here to see where to find your serial number.

  2. Using an Ethernet cable, plug a windows laptop into your library's service port.

  3. Open a browser and type 169.254.1.1 in the Address Bar.

    Note: If the Firmware Installation screen does not appear immediately, wait a few minutes. If it still does not appear, you may have to enter a static IP address into your laptop. If you decide to do this, use 169.254.1.100.

  4. Click the Choose File button and browse to the library firmware image you downloaded.

  5. Click Apply. The library will start the install and will reboot after it is finished. This may take up to 20 minutes.
  6. After the library reboots, the login screen will appear.

    User Name: admin

    Password: password

  7. You will be prompted to change your password.

  8. Once you are logged into the library, you'll need to change your network settings by entering in the static IP address you want to use for your library. Go to IPv4 Settings to enter in your static IP details.
