Operator's Panel Functionality
The Operator's Panel consists of two LEDs, five buttons, and a 2-line by 16-character LCD screen. The Operator's Panel provides everything you need to
monitor autoloader status and to control all of its functions.
All the functionality accessed from the scrolling menu can be password-protected. Two levels of security are built into the menu. The lower-level security is the
operator level and the higher-level security is the administrator level. There is one password for each level.
The administrator password allows access to all the functionality available. The operator password allows access to all the functionality in the Command and
Status submenus.
Enter Passwords
Many functions on the autoloader may be password-protected to ensure data integrity. To access the menu items necessary to execute these functions, you
must first enter your password (see "Setting Passwords"). All passwords are six numeric digits long. These passwords are specific to the front panel and are
different from Remove Management Unit (RMU) passwords.
When you enter a password, all password-protected functionality is available until you log out (see "Logout"). If you do not use the front panel for a period of
time, the main screen reappears on the LCD. When the main screen reappears, the autoloader has automatically logged you out. You will have to re-enter
your password again to access the menu functionality.
Logout
To logout of the autoloader, use the following procedure.
1. From the main menu, scroll to Commands, and then press Enter.
2. From the Commands submenu, scroll to Log Out, and then press Enter. Session Complete appears on the LCD.
NOTE: If security is enabled and you try to execute a command without entering a password, the autoloader displays the Enter
Password screen until you enter a password. Once you enter a password, the autoloader takes you back to the command screen that
you were at prior to entering the password.
