numeral or a suffix on the button page. When the operator presses a numeral or a suffix, the
numeral or suffix is appended to the mnemonic of the device being identified.
 It is an NV9000-SE Utilities feature that certain numerals become disabled if there is no
device index in the category that contains that numeral. It is possible for all numerals to be
disabled. For example, if there are 23 devices in the category that caused the suffix page to
be displayed, then after the operator presses two numerals, all further entry is disabled.
 It is logical to include a ‘Take’ button on suffix templates used by source categories. It is not
logical to include a ‘Take’ button on suffix templates used by destination categories.
However, if a suffix template can be used for either sources or destinations, then a ‘Take’
button is at your discretion.
The operator can use a ‘Clear Preset’ button to cancel a mistaken entry and start over.
Every suffix template must have a ‘Back’ button, and may have a ‘Take’ button, a ‘Clear Preset’
button, or a ‘Hold’ button. There are no other button types. You can duplicate buttons. The
arrangement of the “keypad” is at your discretion.
Template Changes
If you make a change to a suffix template and it is in use (you’ll see the entries in the list) you’ll
probably want to click ‘Push changes to panel configs’. When you do, the configuration software
adjusts all NV9642 panel configurations to use the modified suffix template. This might override
changes you have made to the copy of the suffix page in some panel configuration.
If you want to update the suffix page in only some of your panel configurations, create an alter-
nate version of your suffix template and change the panel configurations to use one or the other
as desired.
Composing Navigate Templates
Composing a navigate template is not substantially different from composing panel configura-
tions. The only difference is that navigate templates do not have ‘Global Navigation’ buttons.
Usage differs, however. Navigate templates can be referenced by panel configurations. And that
is the point: you can create multiple panel configurations that, because they reference a navi-
gate template, can all be guaranteed to include the same button pages.
(Navigation templates themselves are not panel configurations.)
Template Changes
If you make a change to a navigate template and it is in use (you’ll see the entries in the list)
you’ll probably want to click ‘Push changes to panel configs’. When you do, the configuration
software adjusts all panel configurations to use the modified navigate template.
If you want to update the global navigation page in only some of your panels, create an alter-
nate version of your navigate template and change the panel configurations to use one or the
other as desired.
