Administrative users can lock or unlock the I/E station doors using an option from the Operations
menu.

I/E stations are numbered starting with 1 at the control module. All double door I/E stations
are numbered with a number and a letter, such as 2A and 2B, the module number (1-8), with
A as the left I/E station and B the right I/E station.

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 (page 105) 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 commands not listed in the table are not available when the robotics become
disabled, regardless of when the robotics become disabled. Unavailable menu commands are
grayed out on the LMC.
