(The Ethernet port is 10baseT. The system controller supports 10baseT as well as 100baseT.)
Panel Organization
Function Buttons
The NV9601 has an array of 8 function buttons on the left and 28 function buttons on the right.
Function buttons either select sources and destinations or perform certain other functions such
as locking a destination or switching to the menu.
Each button has three operational levels: high and low tally (green or amber), and off. Operators
can adjust the illumination levels in increments of 10% using the panel’s menu. Buttons that are
turned off are said to be dark. (Their material is actually white or light gray.)
 Generally, green represents a source or a source function and amber represents a destina-
tion or a destination function. However, amber and green can represent other functions too.
The function buttons each have clear plastic keycaps under which you may place plastic inserts
for button legends. It is a simple matter to change button legends.

Scroll Buttons
The NV9601 has 2 dedicated scroll buttons. These scroll the display up and down. A scroll button
is illuminated when scrolling is possible in that direction and dark when scrolling is not possible.

ton’s legend is the source name. Depending on the operating mode, the source button might have up
to 3 lines of text.
