When Robotics Are Not Ready
When the library robotics are not yet ready to accept commands, aspects
of the LMC are still available while other aspects are not. This situation can
occur 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 then 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.
Figure 34 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.
Menu commands not listed in the table are not
available at all when the robotics become disabled,
regardless of when the robotics become disabled.
Unavailable menu commands are grayed out on
the LMC.
