Operation
Operating Concepts
Destination
This button selects a destination.
A destination button can occur on any page, but destination buttons often appear in destina-
tion lists. Destination lists can occur either (1) in automatically configured, but static, pages or (2)
as a result of pressing a destination category button, in which case, the destinations buttons are
generated dynamically. In either case, you navigate through multiple pages by pressing the
back and forward buttons.
The button text is normally the destination name, but the configurer can give it any text.
Dynamically generated destination lists, however, use the device names defined in the NV9000
configuration. of
Destination names are often created as a concatenation a category mnemonic with a device
index.
 An MD destination button is actually a selection button and is not a destination button.
Destination Lock
This button is a toggle that sets or clears a lock on the current destination. The lock can be
removed at the panel that originally set the lock, at a panel that has the same user ID, or by a
forced release at any panel.
MD Mode
In MD mode, a locked destination has an “L” next to it when it appears in the display. When you
select a locked MD destination with a button, the ‘Destination Lock’ button goes high-tally.
The ‘Destination Lock’ button text is normally “Dest Lock” and when a selected MD destination
is locked, the button legend becomes “Dest Unlock.”
To lock or unlock MD destinations, select the destinations and press a ‘Destination Lock’ button.
X-Y Mode
In X-Y mode, you may lock or unlock the current destination on each of its levels. Select the
level(s) and press the ‘Destination Lock’ button to perform the lock. Select locked levels and
press the ‘Destination Lock’ button to unlock them. A locked level has an “L” next to it when it
appears in the display.
In MD mode, a locked destination appears bright red and its button legend is ‘LOCKED by ‹user›’
and the ‘X-Y Display’ button turns dark red.
In X-Y mode, the ‘X-Y Display’ button turns dark red for a locked destination.
See Lock, Protect, and Release on page 59.
Destination Protect
This button is a toggle that sets or clears a protect on the current destination device. The protect
can be removed at the panel that originally set the protect, at any panel that has the same user
ID, or by a forced release at any panel.
 Note: a protect prevents others from routing to a destination; a lock prevents anyone — even
the user who issued the lock — from routing to the destination.
 You may lock a protected destination, but you cannot change a locked destination to a
protected destination directly. You must first unlock it.
