Statistics

These settings control the built-in statistics functionality of the Libcabinet system. For more
detailed  statistics,  use  the 

Supa Reporter

 software.

Interval (in days) for the statistics report

Number of days to include in the statistics report when printed from the device, counting
backwards from the current day.

Timers

These timer settings control how long various states in the device last. It is possible to change the
behavior somewhat, but caution should be taken to not decrease or increase the timers too much,
as that may cause impossible scenarios where the device will cease to function correctly.

AC refresh time in minutes

The interval at which the system checks the SIP connection. Default value is 5 minutes.

Door alert timeout (minutes)

After how many minutes an alert is sent to message board, if the cabinet door has not been
closed.

Door reminder timeout (seconds)

During a session when the door is open, after how many seconds is there a text displayed on
screen to remind the user to close the door.

Error show time in seconds

How many seconds will an error message be displayed on screen.

Idle timeout for check inventory (min)

How many minutes to wait for the device to be idle on the start screen, before an inventory is
executed. Default value is 3; this does not have to be very small value, because when this
executes the door should have been closed and the inventory should not have changed - the main
idea is only to double-check again, that all items have been found.

Idle timeout for offline sync (sec)

How many seconds should the device wait in idle state, on the start screen, before starting to
synchronize items from the offline queue.

Idle timeout in seconds

If the device is idle in the login screen, i.e. a patron has pressed the Start button or inserted his
library card but then does not enter the pin code, the session will be automatically ended and the
device returns to the start screen.
