User’s Guide
You will have actually defined two lists, one for sources and one for destinations. These lists
define the categories through which the operator may browse using the knob at the front of
the panel.
Category and Suffix Pages
Using category pages (and suffix pages), panel operators can select devices in 4 steps:
1 Place the panel in either source mode or destination mode, as required.
Note that if any category buttons are already showing on the 16-button array at the right of
the panel, those category buttons can be used to select a category (and the operator may
skip to step 4 below).
2 Turn the knob until the desired category page appears (on the 16 buttons at the right). Then
press one of those buttons to select that category.
The different category page names show in the ‘Info’ display as you turn the knob.
3 When the category is selected, the first of the suffix pages (if any have been defined)
appears. If no suffix pages have been defined, the 16 buttons will be blank and the operator
must use step 4b below.
4 The operator now has a choice: (a) use the suffix pages, appending suffixes to the category
mmemonic, or (b) use the knob to scroll through device names.
a Use the suffix pages.
The operator forms a device name by appending suffixes to the category mnemonic. The
operator may press any suffix button in any suffix page. The operator uses the panel’s
knob to scroll through suffix pages.
When the operator stops entering suffixes, the device is considered selected.
b Use the knob to scroll through devices.
To use this method of device selection, the operator must press the knob. When the
operator presses the knob, the panel enters a mode in which the operator can turn the
knob to scroll through the list of devices that belong to the category selected in step 2.
When the operator stops turning the knob, the device is considered selected.
You, the configurer, will define one or more “pages” for source categories, one or more pages for
destination catetories, and (usually) one or more pages for suffixes. The pages need not be fully
populated.
 If your panel is using category pages, you must create at least one page of source categories
and at least one page of destination categories. Suffix pages are optional.
There are 3 buttons available when you have checked the ‘Use Category & Suffix Pages’ panel
option:
• Edit Src Categories
• Edit Dst Categories
• Edit Suffixes
Click any of these buttons to create or modify category pages and suffix pages. When you click
the button, the appropriate configuration dialog appears.
 Suffix pages used by category pages under the ‘Panel Server’ model have no relationship to
the global suffix pages available for NV9649 panels configured unde the LCD XY/MD model.
