Maintenance mode
In Maintenance mode, librarians can control the cabinet and perform various options, such as
opening the door, disabling the alarm on all tags and so on.

Entering maintenance mode
When the software is running in normal patron mode, you can enter the Maintenance mode by
touching the four corners of the screen in configured order. The default configuration is 1234
which means a ”U” shape: start by touching the top left corner first, then bottom left, then bottom
right and last the top right corner. This should now enable the maintenance mode; if it doesn’t,
please wait a few seconds before attempting again, so that the device will clear its internal buffer
from the previous attempt.
Disabling the alarms
All tags must have their alarms disabled, before the cabinet is used by patrons. The cabinet
performs an inventory after the door has been closed, and any books the patron has loaned are
now outside the cabinet, and thus the security bit can no longer be set. For that reason, the
security bit must be disabled from all items inside the cabinet.
Inventory
You can run a full inventory on all items in the cabinet. This can be done for example before
leaving the cabinet for patrons to use, or to verify that all items can be correctly recognised by the
readers.
