MD Destination Options
On the right side of the multi-destination entry editor, each MD destination has two check-
boxes. One is in the ‘User Definable’ column and the other is in the ‘User Selectable’ column.
User-Definable
When the MD destination is “user definable,” the operator may choose a different destination
using the panel buttons. “User definable” is the default for all MD destinations. Uncheck the
‘User Definable’ box if you want to prevent the operator from changing this MD destination.
User-Selectable
When the MD destination is “user selectable,” the operator may select it and assign a different
source to it using the panel buttons. That is also the default for all MD destinations. Uncheck the
‘User Selectable’ box if you want to prevent the operator from taking a source to this
destination.
Global Navigation
NV9000-SE Utilities supports what are known as “global navigation” pages for NV9654 control
panels. Global navigation pages are templates
— patterns — that may be used and reused in the
creation of NV9654 configurations.
There are two types of global navigation pages: ‘Suffix’ and ‘Navigate’. A ‘Navigate’ template can
define a single button page or an entire subtree of pages. A ‘Suffix’ template is a single page
only. The buttons allowed in a suffix template are a small subset of the buttons supported by
NV9654 configurations. Navigate templates support all functions except ‘Global Navigate’. That
is because templates cannot be nested (i.e., recursively defined).
Templates themselves are not NV9654 configurations.
Follow these steps to create either type:
1 Choose ‘Control Panels’ from the ‘Configuration’ pane. Then click ‘Add Control Panel’.
2 In the ‘Add Control Panel’ page, complete the details as you would for a panel: The panel
type is NV9654. Specify a panel ID, a name, and choose ‘New’ in the options section.
3 Rather than click the ‘Next’ or ‘Finish’ button, click the ‘Suffix’ or ‘Navigate’ button as you
require. Doing so creates a global navigation page of the required type.
Using a suffix page is different from using a navigation page.
