Introduction
Panel Organization
The sets of functions differ in the different operating modes.
At the rear of the panel are power, serial control, Ethernet, and GPIO connectors:
Fig. 2-2: NV9607 Rear
You connect the NV9607 to the NV9000 system using the Ethernet connector.
The serial port is for local diagnostics, as it is for all control panels.
The NV9607 uses external PS0001 power supplies. One will suffice. Two provide redundancy.
The GPIO connector supports the panel’s GPIO functions: 4 outputs and 8 inputs. See
Panel Organization
Function Buttons
The NV9607 has 4 rows of function buttons. The upper two rows have 24 buttons. The lower two
rows have 34 buttons. The total is 116 function buttons. The set of buttons differ in each of the 4
operating modes. (See
Physical source buttons represent one of two sets of sources. Physical destination buttons (if
present) represent one of two sets of destinations. The panel can be configured with a ‘Source
Shift’ button that toggles between the two source pages and a ‘Destination Shift’ button that
toggles between the two destination pages.
Each button has three operational levels: high and low tally (green, amber, and sometimes red),
and off. Operators can adjust the low tally levels in increments of 10% using the panel’s menu.
Buttons that are turned off are said to be dark. (Physically, they are actually white or gray.)
Generally, green represents a source or a source function and amber represents a destina-
tion or a destination function. However, green and amber also represent other functions.
The function buttons each have clear plastic keycaps under which you may place plastic inserts
for button legends. It is a simple matter to change button legends.

2. The NV9607V (virtual panel) has automatically generated button legends. For instance, a source but-
ton’s legend is the source name. Depending on the operating mode, the source button might have up
to 3 lines of text: a source from page 1, a source from page 2, and a destination.
