MD Data
Routing Mode Automatic If a machine control (i.e., data) level is involved in a route, the sys-
tem makes the route on the control level even if the control port is
in use on the source or destination device. It breaks the previous
control connection and then makes a new control connection for
the route in progress.
Manual If the control port is in use for the source or destination device, the
system takes all (selected) levels except control. It does not per-
form the control level route.
If the control port is not in use, the control level take occurs nor-
mally.
To carry out a take on a machine control port that is in use, the
operator must first free the port by performing a “tristate” take on
the port, that is, taking the device (as a source) to itself (as a desti-
nation) on the control level.
An operator can determine whether the control level is free by
switching momentarily to X-Y mode and examining the destina-
tion’s levels.
Default Name
Set System Name A list of “name sets” appears in the drop-down menu. The name
sets can be defined under the System Management pane of
NV9000-SE Utilities. Choose ‘System Name’ in this list if you do not
want, or do not care about, device name aliases.
Do not choose ‘System Name’ if you are configuring any ‘Name Set
Toggle’ buttons.
Multidest
Device Limit (Selectable in
multiples of 8) The number of multi-destination entries you are allowing. Make
this value equal to or greater than the number of MD devices you
need. The default, and lowest value, is 8. The maximum is 512.
(Elsewhere in the configuration, you will create a list of MD devices.
You can leave some MD destinations unassigned.)
