SIP2 is an optional Alexandria integration. Contact our Sales Team if you're interested in adding it to your library! |
SIP2 allows you to utilize SIP2 hardware (e.g. Checkpoint, 3M, etc.) by supporting the SIP2 protocol, making your library more efficient with enhanced inventory and security features. In addition to empowering your students with self-service check-in and -out modes, vendors can use the SIP2 protocol to check on a patron's status or copy status, allowing you more time to focus on patron information needs.
For example, CybraryN uses the SIP2 protocol to authenticate that patrons are Active before allowing them to use a library computer; OverDrive uses it to verify that a patron has the proper borrowing rights before allowing eBook downloads.
Alexandria uses port 6001 (or whatever port you have set as the SIP2 Port ID) for SIP2 communications.
You will only need to provide information for these preferences if your school has SIP2 and you have purchased the SIP2 module for Alexandria.
