Before the library can be used, there is some basic configuration that must be done. Configuration varies
depending on the type of library and the features that will be used. Before configuring the library, you should
review all Technical Bulletins and Release Notes and Errata for the product.
Addressing Configuration Prerequisites
You must obtain the following information from the customer, before configuring the library.
• Proposed IP address of library
• Subnet Mask for local network
• IP address for the gateway on the local subnet
• IP address of the SMTP server
• Access account of SMTP server
Only one administrator can be logged on and performing library configuration
at any one time. If another administrator attempts to log on, a message
appears, warning that only one administrator at a time is permitted on the
library. If a service user logs on while an administrator or regular users are
logged on, the library automatically logs off those users.
