Chapter 7. Remote Library Manager Console Feature
When the Remote Library Manager Console feature is installed, an operator can
control or monitor operations for libraries from a remote location. The remote library
manager console (controlling workstation) is connected to the library manager
(controlling workstation) through a local area network (LAN). The customer orders
either the Token Ring LAN Attachment feature or the Ethernet LAN Attachment
feature when the Remote Library Manager Console feature is ordered. Figure 150
shows an example of the Token Ring LAN and the Ethernet LAN.
The Distributed Console Access Facility (DCAF) product is installed on the library
manager and the remote library manager console when the Remote Library
Manager Console feature is installed. If this topic does not describe a task you want
