The cabinet needs a SIP connection to work. If you wish to place the device outside your library, you need to make sure your firewall allows the connection from the cabinet to your SIP server.

 

The cabinet does not work in offline mode. If a SIP connection is lost during a patron session, the patron is allowed to finish the session and items checked out / returned will be recorded locally. This local cache of items is the automatically updated to the library system once the connection is restored.

 

No new sessions are allowed when there is no SIP connection available, because patron identities cannot be verified.
