Library System Settings

Most of the library system settings must be configured from the operator panel. However, you can set the the User Session Timeout and enable Unreadable Media Detection from this screen.

User Session Timeout

The library automatically logs out a user or administrator when the library has detected no activity for a specified length of time. You can adjust the user session timeout by entering a numeric value in the User Session Timeout text box. Valid user session timeout values are 15 minutes to 480 minutes. You can change this setting from either the operator panel or the Web client. When you change the setting on the Web client, the operator panel is updated at the same time, and vice versa.

Administrators can set the user session timeout. Users cannot change the user session timeout.

  1. From the Setup menu, select System Settings .

    The Setup - System Settings screen displays.

  2. Type the number of minutes in the User Session Timeout text box.
  3. Click Apply.

Unlabeled Media Detection

At bootup and other times the library performs an inventory of all slots and media. If a slot contains media with an unreadable barcode label (for example, the label is missing, torn, or marked up), the scanner cannot identify it, so the library normally reports the slot as empty. You can configure the library to detect and report which slots contain media with unreadable barcodes. This requires the calibration sensor to re-scan each slot identified as empty in the inventory to see if a cartridge is physically in the slot. If so, the library reports the cartridge as having an unreadable barcode.

This feature is disabled by default. When enabled, the following occurs:
