Chapter 1

Overview

This chapter provides an overview of the operator panel and the remote panel.

1.1Overview of Panel Operations

The library provides two main interfaces:

•Operator panel

With the operator panel, you can monitor, configure, and control the library from the front panel. All operating menus are displayed on the center pane.

•Remote panel

With the remote panel, you can monitor, configure, and control the library from a web browser. The remote panel hosts a dedicated, protected Internet site that displays a graphical representation of the library. Except of top menus, operating menu tree are displayed on the right pane.

Although the operator panel is similar to the remote panel in design and functionality, some of the executable operations are different.

1.1.1Overview of the Operator Panel

The operator panel is positioned on the center of the front panel. It is possible to perform operations such as referencing/setting the library and drive status and opening the magazine or mailslot from the operator panel. By selecting the buttons on the operator panel, operations such as window transition, function selection, and setup value input can be performed.

The windows on the operator panel before login can be roughly divided into the initialization window and login window.

Chapter 2 Operating the Library

2.2 Using the Remote Panel

2.2Using the Remote Panel

With the remote panel, you can monitor, configure, and operate most library functions from a web browser.

When possible, it is recommended that the remote panel be used as the primary library interface because compared to the operations of the operator panel, the web interface provides access to additional features, such as online help, and is easier to use. However, the remote panel is not required to use the product, except to configure advanced features, such as SNMP, IPv6, encryption, and partitions.

Before using the remote panel, you must configure the library network settings and set the administrator password with the operator panel. This can be done with the Initial Configuration Wizard. See "2.5.1 Using the Initial Configuration Wizard" (page 27).

To start the remote panel, open the latest version of a supported web browser and enter the IP address of the library in the browser’s address bar. Supported browsers include Internet Explorer (version 10 or later is recommended), Firefox, Chrome and Safari.

Check the online help in the remote panel for additional information. The help pages are updated with firmware updates and often contain up-to-date technical details that might not be contained in this document.

To access remote panel help, click the icon on the right side of the remote panel top banner.

2.3 Logging into the Library

From a security perspective, changing the default password immediately after starting the library is recommended.

When logging in for the first time, change the password using the Initial Configuration Wizard or change the password with the user account settings.

Refer to "2.5.1 Using the Initial Configuration Wizard" (page 27), "2.5.15 Configuring User Account Settings (for Firmware Versions 7.80 and Earlier)" (page 58), or "2.5.16 Configuring User Account Settings (for Firmware Versions 7.90 and Later)" (page 60) for details.

•service

Access to this user is by Service personnel only. The service password is set at the factory. The same service password is used for the remote panel and operator panel. Both the administrator and service passwords are required for a service person to enter the service area.

•security

In addition to the functions that are available when logged in as the administrative user, the key management function can be set. After the Key Management Function Option is purchased, the setting for the key management function is available.

The initial password is "security". However, this password can only be used to log in from the operator panel.

After the initial password is changed on the operator panel, the password can then also be used to log in from the remote panel.

Basically, only one user can log in to the library regardless of whether the user logs in from the remote panel or operator panel.

If a user is currently logged in, a warning message appears. Select whether to continue the login process.

•Select Leave to stop the login process.

•Select Login to continue the login process and forcibly log the currently logged in user out.

As an exception, only the "user" user account can log in to the library regardless of whether other users are logged in.

Note that if no operation is performed for a certain period of time, the user is forcibly logged out.
