To prevent this, the library may have to take steps to shade the screen.
Specifications Network requirements The Intelligent Return and Sorter System communicates with the circulation system over a wired Ethernet connection. The Ethernet cable must: • Meet as a minimum the Cat 5e standard and be terminated with an RJ45 modular plug • Be long enough to extend from the jack to the induction system with at least two feet (61 cm) of slack Pr el im in ar y • Be routed away from all traffic areas 10 Copyright © 2009, 3M.
