26 Understanding the User InterfaceLibrary ViewSelecting the Library View button on the web client displays the Library View. The Library View provides agraphical representation of the library as well as another mode of navigation. Use the Library View tonavigate through the library. The control module is labeled with “hot” areas that can be selected to accessthe functions for each area of the library. The Library View represents the actual configuration of the user’slibrary, including the order in which the modules are stacked. You will find the same navigation buttons onthe Library View as on the Capacity View.Operator PanelThe operator panel is physically attached to the front door of the control module. The user interface appearson the touch-screen LCD display of the operator panel for executing basic library management functions.Audible feedback, or “key click” sounds, are generated when a user presses a button on the operator panel.Users can choose to disable the audible feedback. See Configuring System Settings on page 72.Operator Panel KeyboardsWhen a user touches a text box requiring data entry, a keyboard screen appears. The alpha, numeric, ormonth keyboard appears, depending on the type of input field touched. All alphabetic character entries arelower case. The text box appears at the top of screen, and the numbers/characters appear as they areentered. Pressing 123 opens the numeric keyboard.Web ClientThe web client HTTP interface is similar to the operator panel user interface. The web client interface is accessiblefrom supported web browsers. See System Requirements on page 21 for information about supported browsers.To manage the library from a remote web client interface, you must set up the library’s initial networkconfiguration from the operator panel touch screen. See Configuring Library Security Settings on page 71for information on setting the network configuration settings for remote use.Menu TreesThe following four menus organize commands into logical groupings:• The Setup menu consists of commands that users with administrative privileges can use to set upand configure various aspects of the library, including partitions, I/E station slots, cleaning slots,control paths, network settings, drive IDs, users, notifications, date and time, licenses, FC I/Oblades, library registration, and e-mail.• The Operations menu consists of commands that enable users to change the library’s mode ofoperations, import and export cartridges, load and unload tape drives, move media, and log off.Administrative users can also access commands to lock or unlock the I/E station and to shut thelibrary down.• The Tools menu consists of commands that you can use to maintain your library such as viewingRAS Tickets, generating diagnostic logs, identifying drives, configuring the internal network, savingand restoring the library configuration, setting system and security settings, and updating firmware.• The Reports menu (web client only) consists of summaries of library information.A hidden Service menu is available to service users with the appropriate login information.The menus vary somewhat between the web client and operator panel user interfaces. Administrative usershave access to all menu commands, but users' privileges are more limited.
