Behavioral Models
The panel can operate according to 3 behavioral models (or operating modes):
• Server mode.
• NV9609 mode.
• ‘LCD XY/MD’ mode.
Your panel will operate in only one of these modes. It is not possible to change modes except by
reconfiguration. It is not likely that your panel will be reconfigured often.
‘Panel Server’ Mode
When the panel is in “server” mode, it operates in conjunction with a number of NV9648s. The
NV9649 is the “server” and the NV9648s are the “clients.” The NV9649 and the NV9648s combine
to form, in essence, a larger panel
— actually a cluster of many small control units. The NV9649,
being the server, can control which sources and destinations the NV9648s can select.
Each NV9648 has 3 identical sections and each section functions as a complete and separate
control unit, unrelated to any other NV9648 section. Each section controls a destination you
choose at the NV9649. The section’s display usually shows that destination.
The NV9649 can also assign sources to the source buttons of individual NV9648 control units.
Here is an example of a system with an NV9649 and 7 NV9648 clients:
In this example, there are 21 control sections in addition to the controls of the NV9649. At any
moment, the operator can route to 21 destinations. You can assign different destinations to the
control units at any time. The function buttons in each individual control unit apply only to the
destination assigned to the unit.
