Powering on the Library

Setting an administrator password provides access to
the administrator functions with the remote management
interface (RMI) and restricts access to administrator
functions on the front panel from people who do not
know the administrator password.
Passwords must be exactly 8 digits consisting of
the numbers 0 through 9.
To assign a password through the Operator Control
Panel:
1. Use the Control Keys below the LCD screen to
highlight Configuration > Set Admin Password,
press OK.
2. Press OK to select the editable block. The Left and
Right Control Keys allow you to move between the
digits in the password field. Use the Up and Down
Control Keys to change the value of the highlighted
digit. Press OK to set the value.
Setting the administrator
password

This option sets the date and time used by the Library to
record events and should be set during the initial
installation process. Access to this feature requires the
administrator password, if set.
Using the operator control panel:
1. Highlight Configuration > Set Date and Time, press
OK.
2. Enter the administrator password if prompted.
3. Press OK to select the first block that can be edited.
Use the Left and Right arrows to move between digits
in the Date and Time fields. Use the Up and Down
arrows to change the value of the highlighted digit.
When the screen shows the desired value, press OK.
Setting date and time
NOTE: When setting the hours, the time is based
on a 24-hour clock. There is no AM or PM
designation. For example, 1:00 PM is 13:00.
Configuring the networking
15
Configuring the networking enables you to monitor,
configure, and control most Library functions from the
remote management interface (RMI). By default, the
Library will obtain an IP address from a DHCP server.
You can configure the Library to use a static IP address.
Once the Library has an IP address, you can change
the network configuration from the OCP or RMI.
To see the IP address obtained from a DHCP server, go
to the Info > Network option. To configure a static IP
address, go to the Configuration > Network option.
