Is offline mode allowed, and if so, what functionality is available during it. Librid will attempt to reconnect at regular intervals, so that when the connection is again available the device would automatically resume regular operation.

Not used: If SIP connection is lost, the device will show an error message on screen and cannot be used before the connection is restored.

Check in only: Only check in operations are allowed during an offline situation. This is usually safe, as the worst that can happen is that items that don’t belong to a particular library are checked in.

Check in and check out: Both check in and check out operations are available. It should be noted that for check out operations, there is no way to validate a patron without SIP connection. Basically anyone can insert a library card and any pin code, and the system will accept it.

If offline functionality is enabled, Librid will store item ID’s to a local text file when there is no SIP connection. After the SIP connection is restored, Librid will send the items to the library system. There is a separate text file that is written, with results in it; it is possible that items checked out during offline situation are rejected by the library server, so these results should be processed manually.

Both files are stored in the Librid program folder.
