Operator Interfaces; Front Panel Interface (Fpi); Scroll Function - Tandberg Data StorageLibrary T40+ Series Installation And User Manual

The StorageLibrary has two operator interfaces: the Front Panel Interface (FPI) and the Remote
Management Interface (RMI). Operations on the StorageLibrary can be performed locally on the
library using the front panel interface, or remotely on your computer using the remote management
interface. Similar functionality with common elements is used for both operator interfaces.
Both the front panel and the remote management interface are required to
Note
access all options for operating the library. Some functionality is only available
thru the remote management interface, and some functionality is only available
thru the front panel interface. However, whenever possible it is recommended
that you use the remote management interface rather than the front panel to
perform library operations.

Front Panel Interface (FPI)

The front panel interface is physically attached to the front of the library. For executing basic library
management functions, the operator interface appears on the LCD display of the front panel.
The functions of the four control buttons are displayed in the corners of the LCD. The functions of the
buttons change during different activities, and the actual function for each button is always visible on
the display.
The front panel interface includes the operator control panel with LCD display, four control buttons,
two LED indicators and a standby switch.

Scroll Function

The LCD display on the front panel interface is able to display 20 characters in a line. Some
functionality requires more than 20 characters. To access all characters a scroll function is
implemented. The buttons on the front panel interface are used to scroll the text left or right (a left
arrow appears on the left button and a right arrow appears on the right button to indicate the scroll
function).
The number of lines on the display is limited. If the text to be displayed contains more than 8 lines, a
similar scroll function, to that described above, is used. For line scrolling, the arrows on the buttons
indicate scroll up or down function.
