WebGUI

The WebGUI is a web-based graphical user interface. The WebGUI is the primary way you will interact with the library. All library operations can be performed through the WebGUI. You access the WebGUI by typing the library IP address into a web browser. All library communication will be redirected to use the HTTPS communication protocol for secure command and response communication between the browser and tape library.

The WebGUI browser automatically refreshes when you are logged in. Do not manually refresh the browser using the browser refresh button. Manually refreshing the browser will end your session and require you to login again.

The i7 RAPTOR WebGUI supports the following web browsers. Quantum recommends upgrading to the latest version of the browser.

Web Browser Versions Supported
Internet Explorer Not supported.
Google Chrome Version 51 and above.
Mozilla Firefox Version 55 and above.
Apple Safari Recommend latest version.
Microsoft Edge Recommend using Edge version 79 or greater, using the Chromium engine. This resolves issues of slowness found in the older versions of Edge.

Chrome Issue in macOS Catalina

Apple has introduced new requirements for SSL certificates to be accepted by macOS Catalina. The new requirements are documented at https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT210176.

This has caused issues with accessing the i7 RAPTOR WebGUI in Chrome. If you experience issues, type "thisisunsafe" in the Chrome browser URL field. This will white list the i7 RAPTOR library and allow access to the WebGUI.
