BlueScale Web Interface
The BlueScale web interface lets you use a standard web browser to access
the library through the Remote Library Controller (RLC). Enter the
library’s IPv4 or IPv6 address into a browser running on a computer that
can access the Ethernet network to which the library’s LCM is connected.
The BlueScale web interface provides access to the same features and
functions that are available through the touch screen, excluding functions
that involve physical interaction with the library (for example, using the
TAP to import or export a TeraPack magazine).
When using the web interface, keep the following requirements in mind:
Number of Sessions The BlueScale web interface supports up to eight
simultaneous connections to the library. If you attempt to establish more
than eight simultaneous web interface connections, the existing connection
with the longest idle time is terminated.
Supported Browsers Remote access to the library through the web
interface is only supported using the following web browsers:
 Microsoft
®
Internet Explorer
®
 Mozilla
®
Firefox
®
 Google
®
Chrome™
 Apple
®
Safari
®
Additional browsers were not fully tested with the BlueScale web
interface. Using an unsupported browser may result in the BlueScale web
interface not displaying or operating as expected.
Important
 When accessing the library remotely through a web browser, do not use the
Enter key on your keyboard when making selections in the BlueScale user
interface. Various web browsers handle the Enter key differently, causing
inconsistent behavior in the BlueScale interface.
 Always use your mouse to make selections and click the buttons in BlueScale
screens instead of using your keyboard.
 Do not use the browser’s “back” button to return to a previously viewed
BlueScale screen. Always use the BlueScale toolbar and buttons on the screen
to navigate the BlueScale web interface.
 Using a keyboard command (for example, F5) to refresh the browser when
connected to the BlueScale web interface causes unpredictable results.
