4. Configuration
Commitment Buttons
At the bottom of the page are two important configuration buttons: ‘Revert to Saved’ and ‘Save’.
The ‘Save’ button commits modifications you have just made. The ‘Revert to Saved’ button
restores the last saved version of the panel configuration, canceling any changes you just made.
Regions of the Configuration Page
Above the ‘Revert to Saved’ and ‘Save’ buttons (always present) there are 4 main regions:
• A graphic representation of the panel (NV9616 or NV9608).
Configurers must click a button “proxy” to select the button for configuration.
At the left are the 16 (or 8) LCD button proxies. These represent either MD destinations or sal-
vos. You can click the line of text in the middle of this section to toggle between MD destina-
tion entry and salvo entry. The text changes accordingly:
If you are configuring more than 16 (or 8) MD destinations, you must click the ‘Page Up’ and
‘Page Down’ button proxies to scroll to a different page to select those MD destinations. Simi-
larly you can scroll through pages of salvo button definitions.
At the right are the 24 function buttons. The 10 yellow buttons are fixed category buttons. You
cannot change the button type of these buttons. The other 14 function buttons are completely
configurable.
• Button definitions.
In this section, configurers make button assignments, using its pull-down menus and text fields.
See
Button Definitions , following.
• Panel options.
In this section, configurers may specify the behavioral characteristics of the panel. See Panel
Options , following.
Configuration Tasks
The person configuring an NV9616 or NV9608 panel will want to consider how best to use the but-
tons to support the devices and routers in the router control system at hand. The task is non-trivial.
In support of that effort, the configurer will do the following:
• Select panel options.
• Assign functions to buttons.
Commitment Buttons
Two buttons at the bottom of the configuration page are self-explanatory and appear on most con-
figuration pages:
• Revert to Saved. Press this button if you want to discard any recent changes you have made.
• Save. Press this button to commit all your recent changes.
Neither of these actions is reversible.
