Pardon the mess! The Support Center is undergoing construction. 
The Administration settings are high-level preferences intended for network administrators, IT support departments, or operators with administrator-level permissions; in other words, they are advanced settings used to configure your main Data Station (server) once and then be forgotten. While every operator with the proper security permissions can access the Administration module, it contains settings that most operators won't be able to configure without help. An operator's access to these settings is governed by Alexandria's security preferences. Your library's administrator can manage these settings in Tools > Preferences > Security.
| Status | These settings allow you to perform maintenance on your library catalog and update your Alexandria program. | |
| These settings allow you to designate an SMTP server to use for sending emails, such as Item Overdue Notices, to Patrons and/or Staff. | ||
| LDAP | These settings allow you to authenticate operator and patron program access. | |
| Checkpoint | If your library utilizes the Checkpoint ILS security system use these setting to enhance your SIP2 protocol. |
