NV9649 Panel Configuration Page(s)
This field is not present for the 16 buttons at the right side of the panel image. Nor is it present
for any of the other behavioral models.
The 12 buttons at the left become displayed when panel operator presses a ‘Menu’ button and
then presses the ‘Manage Configs’ button of the menu. Each of the 12 buttons represents one of
12 sets of client assignments.
What is a set of client assignments?
Every time an operator assigns a destination to an NV9648 client or assigns a source to a source
button of a client, that assignment is recorded within the NV9000 system controller. Therefore, if
and when the system undergoes a power cycle, all of the assignments made for the NV9648
clients are preserved. The typical NV9649-NV9648 configuration has multiple NV9648s. The set
of client assignments includes all source and destination assignments to all NV9648s that are
clients of the NV9649.
By pressing one of the 12 buttons (in the ‘Manage Config’ page of the panel’s menu) an operator
can select one of 12 sets of client assignments. In the menu itself, a set of client assignments is
called a “set-up.” A NV9649 always has one default setup and may have up to eleven other
named setups. (It is the upper left button that is assigned to the default setup.)
By entering a name in the ‘Setup Name’ field for one of the 12 buttons (other than the default
button) you define a setup
— that is, you create a name (and a resulting storage area in the
system controller) for the client assignments belonging to that setup. An operator can choose
this setup if the panel has a menu. Changes made to NV9648s are always recorded into the
chosen set of states. Other sets of states are not affected by changes made to the currently
chosen setup.
See Menus under the Server Model on page 114 for further detail.
Server Mode Panel Options
In a server mode configuration, the panel options section, at the right of the configuration page,
has 4 drop-down menus (and 6 check box options). These are the drop-down menus:
 By making a selection in the behavioral model field, you change the content of the entire
configuration page, including the set of panel options. Changing the model clears the entire
configuration.
These are the drop-down menu options for the panel in client mode:
Panel Behavioral
Model Panel Server
Mode In server mode, the panel interoperates with a number of NV9648s,
the NV9648s being configured as the “clients.”
NV9609 Panel
Mode In NV9609 mode, the panel behaves exactly like an NV9609. Please
refer to the NV9609 Users Guide for additional details.
LCD XY/MD Mode In LCD XY/MD mode, the panel has a slightly larger function set
than under the other two models. Under this model, the operator
can choose either X-Y mode or multi-destination (MD) mode.
