Control Panel
Definable Button Functions
• High-tally amber. The associated channel is selected as a follower in a channel gang and is
communicating.
• High-tally red. The associated channel is selected, but the panel cannot establish communi-
cation with it.
A channel selection button also displays a mnemonic for the associated Imagestore 750, MCE, or
MCPM.
An Imagestore 750 can accept up to 4 concurrent connections: any combination of up to 4
control panels may acquire the same channel at the same time. If a fifth control panel attempts
to connect to an Imagestore 750 that already has four control panel connected to it, the fifth
control panel’s request for connection will be ignored.
S Note that only one channel selection button may be assigned to a channel.
No Channels
A ‘No Channel’ button quickly disconnects the panel from all channels. (To restore operation,
select any channel.) These are the ‘No Channel’ button colors:
• Green. The panel is connected to a channel.
• Red. The panel is not connected to any channel.
S Note that a panel configuration can have only one ‘No Channel’ button.
S A “no channel” button is typically used in diagnostic situations.
Gang Channels
A ‘Gang Channels’ button lets you couple from 2 to 4 channels together for “ganged” channel
operation. When channels are ganged, any action performed on the “main” channel is also
performed on all selected “follower” channels. (Follower channel buttons tally amber; the main
channel button tallies green.)
A ‘Gang Channels’ button is a toggle: press the “gang” button once to enable gang selection and
press the gang button again to disable gang selection, i.e., to return to single-channel operation.
While gang selection is enabled, you can add or remove follower channels, by pressing addi-
tional channel buttons, subject to the limit of 4 channels in the gang.
S When gang selection is enabled, salvos are inhibited.
S You cannot use the channel menu to add or remove follower channels.
Salvo
A panel might have one or more salvo buttons. Pressing a salvo button causes an NV9000 salvo
to execute. (This button requires a connected NV9000 router control system.)
S A channel change can also execute a salvo.
S When channel gang selection is enabled, salvos are inhibited.
