Instruction Manual

Using the Library When Robotics Are Not Ready
When the library robotics are not yet ready to accept commands, features of the LMC are still available
while others are not. This can happen during startup, reboot, or while the library is running. During
run time, for example, the robotics will become unavailable if someone opens and closes an access
door without pressing the Robotics Enabled button.
Whenever robotics become disabled, a message appears in the Activity area on the main LMC display
that states, Warning: The Robotics are not Enabled. Users can log on locally or remotely
while the robotics are disabled.
Table 16 lists the menu commands that are available when the robotics become disabled either before
system discovery can occur or after system discovery has occurred. As the table shows, significantly
fewer menu commands are available when the library is started up or rebooted and the robotics
become disabled before system discovery occurs.
NOTE:
Menu comman ds not listed in the table are not av ail able when the robotics become disabled, regardless
of when the robotics become disabled. Unavailable menu commands are grayed out on the LMC.
