Managing the 3M™ SelfCheck™ System
The SelfCheck system is managed through two user interfaces. The local
user interface is for daily management at the chute where the SelfCheck
system is installed. The remote user interface, called the 3M SelfCheck
System Manager, is a browser-based interface for management and
configuration over the Internet or your intranet.
Security
The local interface has no security aside from that provided by Microsoft
Windows. SelfCheck System Manager has three levels of security: no
password, basic password, and advanced password. Any action that
changes the operation of the SelfCheck system requires a password.
No password
No password is required to access the SelfCheck system’s Home page. The
Home page provides basic information and usage statistics about the system.
The lack of password protection makes it easy for all staff to access and
review this information.
Basic password
Staff with a basic level password can change a limited number of settings
and view system and support information. The default basic password is
basic. You should change this password as soon as possible.
Advanced password
An administrator with an advanced level password has full access to all
system settings and information. The default advanced password is
advanced. You should change this password as soon as possible.
Initial configuration
During installation, a 3M technician configures your SelfCheck system to
operate in your library’s existing environment. The technician normally
performs the following operations:
Sets up host communications
Sets up mail server communications and notifications
Enables the optional staff printer and configures the exceptions and hold
slips based on your library’s check-in environment.
Ensures that the RFID reader configuration is correct
Saves the current configuration
Restarts the SelfCheck system to enable diagnostics on the newly
configured devices.
Should changes at your library make it necessary to change the SelfCheck
system configuration settings, please follow the procedures in this guide.
