Registering a BLM Archiver
You must register each BLM Archiver you want to use with the DS-System. You must also register the DS-System with the BLM Archiver. For more information, see the BLM Archiver User Guide.
To register a BLM Archiver:
1. On the BLM menu, click Register.
2. In the Address box, type the IP address of the BLM Archiver you want to register with the DS-System.
3. In the Port box, enter the port the BLM Archiver will use to communicate with the DS-System.
NOTE: Do not change the port number unless you have a specific requirement to do so.
4. In the Protocol box, select the protocol to be used for communication between the DS-System and the BLM Archiver. The options are as follows:
• Encrypted: All data between the DS-System and BLM Archiver is encrypted with a random encryption key on every connection.
• Standard: This option is offered only for backwards compatibility with old service or daemon versions that do not have this feature.
5. In the Assistant Threads box, enter the number of additional file processing threads the DS-System will use for each BLM archiving activity. The default is 2.
6. In the Bandwidth Throttle box, select the bandwidth throttle the DS-System will use for BLM archiving processes. The options are as follows:
• Unlimited – The bandwidth is not limited to any value.
• Limited to ... KB/sec – The bandwidth is limited to the specified value.

8. Select the DS-System, and then click Finish.
9. To modify the BLM Archiver settings, on the BLM menu click Status, modify the settings, and then click OK.
