Configuration
Button Definitions
•
Special functions, such as ‘Navigate’ and ‘Back’. These functions allow the panel operator to
move from one button page to another. (The Navigate button is unique: it initiates a dialog
in which you create a subtree.)
•
System-generated button functions. These are buttons that are generated dynamically (by
the router control system) during operation. An example of system-generated buttons is a
device list generated when the user presses a category button. The set of devices in a cate-
gory can change over time (as the configuration database changes); the NV9654 device list
changes also.
The number and names of categories can also change over time and the NV9654 will track
those changes too.
There are different sets of button types for global suffix pages and for global navigation pages.
See
Button Specification
The button definitions section has several controls:
The controls vary according to the button type.
Button Type
A pull-down menu where you may select a button type.
Button Caption
Three text boxes in which you can enter three lines of button text up to 8
characters each. SE provides a default for the button caption.
Some buttons do not allow you to enter button text. Category buttons, for
example, use the category name as the button text.
Note
Certain button fields contain a colon (:) and number after the data in the field. The
number is the record ID of the object in the NV9000 configuration database. The
record IDs can be ignored but might be of some use when the configurer is searching
for items in the configuration database.
