Modes of operation
The software has two modes of operation: Patron mode and Maintenance mode. In normal use,
the software remains always in Patron mode. Maintenance mode is used to carry out specific
tasks, such as enabling or disabling the alarm on tags, or shutting down the software.
Patron mode
Patron mode is the default mode in which the device is normally used. In Patron mode, the device
can be used to perform loans and returns by patrons. The cabinet door is shut, and can only be
opened by inserting a valid patron card and pin code. Once the patron has completed his activity,
he closes the door and is presented a receipt.
