Network settings
The settings in the Network tab enable the SelfCheck
system to communicate properly with your library’s
circulation system. The settings should not be changed
unless there is a change in the circulation system. Infor-
mation about the circulation system should be available
from the library’s circulation system administrator.
Circulation system communications
Error detection
Adds check digits to ensure that communications are
correctly sent and received. This setting must match
that of the circulation system.
Circulation system time synchronization
Synchronizes the SelfCheck system's clock with the
circulation system’s clock.
ILS hold count is available count
Determines how the SelfCheck System interprets the
SIP hold items count field.
Clear the check box if the circulation system uses
the hold items field to report total hold requests,
which includes both available and unavailable items.
Select the check box if the circulation system uses
the hold items field to report only available items.
Automatically reconnect
Automatically attempts to reconnect with the
circulation system after a communications failure.
Protocol version
The version number of the Standard Interchange
Protocol (SIP) used by the circulation system.
Retries allowed
The number of times a request can be resent by the
SelfCheck system if a response is not received.
Timeout period
The maximum time in seconds that the SelfCheck
system should wait for a response from the circulation
system before a retry. Refer to your circulation system
administrator for this setting.
Field delimiter
The SIP field delimiter that is appropriate for the lan-
guage or circulation system you are using. You can
enter the field delimiter as either a keyboard character
or as hexadecimal notation (for example, 0x7C).
Network tab
The default field delimiter for SIP is the pipe character "|" (0x7C). Some
character sets use the 0x7C character in normal text. (For the Chinese,
Japanese, and Korean character sets, use 0x80.) If a circulation system
reserves this character for other purposes, use a different character.
