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.
