Configuring a Library System

The Master Unit

All Libraries are factory-shipped as stand-alone units. To include them in a
multi-unit Library system, you must first configure one unit as the master and
all other units as slaves. Any Library can be configured to be a stand-alone,
master, or slave.
Prior to configuring a Library system, see Chapter 3, "Installing and
Removing the Pass-Through Mechanism," for detailed information on how to
connect cables to the pass-through motor housing and Library units.
The master unit controls the operations of a multi-unit Library system. All
configuration changes to the system are performed at the operator panel of the
master unit.
NOTE: In a storage cabinet, the master unit must occupy the top position to coordinate
the action of the Pass-Through Mechanism (PTM).
To configure the master unit:
