Configuration
Single-Destination Mode
Display Indexes
You can configure selection buttons on any of your button pages. During configuration, when
you assign a selection button, an additional drop-down menu appears: ‘Display Index’.
The drop-down menu for the button’s display index has as many entries as there are selection
buttons. Creating a new selection button creates a new display index.
It is possible but probably wasteful for two or more selection buttons to have the same display
index.
Single-Destination Mode
The panel, when it is in client mode, is — by definition — a single-destination panel. More
precisely, each of the 3 independent control units of the panel are single-destination control
units. (The destination can be changed at the NV9649 server panel.)
When it is in standalone mode, the 3 sections of the panel can be configured as single-destina-
tion units. The units would have default destinations defined and no destination buttons.
It is also possible to configure a panel in LCD XY/MD mode as a single-destination panel. Again,
the panel would have a default destination defined and no destination buttons.
For panels in LCD XY/MD mode, other more complex forms of “single-destination” mode are
conceivable.
Multi-Destination Configuration
Multi-destination (MD) devices are a subset of all destination devices. You can configure a panel
to have from 8 to 512 MD destinations in increments of 8 destinations. Not all of those need be
used. Those that are not used are considered “undefined.”
 It is possible to have duplicate entries in the MD destination set. For example, it might be
useful to have one or two MD destinations visible at all times.
 You should make sure your configuration includes a ‘Page Up’ and a ‘Page Down’ button if
the operator will be required to scroll through MD devices.
The limit to the number of MD devices is a panel option. If the limit is 64, for example, the
display can scroll through 8 pages of 8 rows, regardless of whether these rows have been
assigned a destination. Similarly, the operator could scroll through 4 pages of 16 selection
buttons.
How to Configure MD Devices
Follow these guidelines.
1 Go to the NV9648 configuration page of NV9000-SE Utilities.
2 Click any button in the panel image. In the button definition section, choose ‘Selection’ from
the drop-down list.
A ‘Display Index’ field and an ‘Edit Multi-Dest Devices’ button appear in the button definition
section.
