The Interface Manager communicates with the management station over the LAN. The management
station is a Microsoft® Windows-based PC (server) that hosts the Command View TL software. Ideally,
the management station should have a static IP address and be dedicated for use with the Interface
Manager and Command View TL software.

Any client machine on the LAN can communicate with the Interface Manager either through the
graphical user interface web interface, or through a Telnet command line interface (CLI). At a higher
level, multiple libraries, each containing an Interface Manager card, can be connected to a single
management station. Each Interface Manager card can communicate with only one management
station, but the management station can communicate with multiple Interface Manager cards (see
).
