Operating Concepts
5 The desired source is selected.
S Category buttons also allow you to enter a page number for multi-destination devices. This is a
convenience, but it is available only in MD mode when no category device selection is in
progress.
Lock, Protect, and Release
In a multi-user system, routes made by one user can be made safe from being accidentally or mali-
ciously change by another user.
Definitions
Owner The user ID of a panel where a lock or protect was issued.
Source lock No one can use the source.
Source protect No one but the owner can use the source.
Destination lock No one can route to the destination.
Destination protect No one but the owner can route to the destination.
Release To remove a lock or protect.
Some control panels can lock or protect both sources and destinations. However, The NV9616 pro-
vides locks and protects for destinations only.
A forced release is when the lock or protect is removed by someone other than the owner. A forced
release can be performed at any panel configured with release mode set to “forced release.”
The ‘Destination Lock’ and ‘Destination Protect’ buttons are toggles. Press the lock (or protect)
button to lock (or protect) a destination. Press the button again to release the lock (or protect).
In X-Y mode, a destination lock disables destination protect for a particular destination.
In X-Y mode, the destination button turns red when the destination is locked or when the destina-
tion is protected by someone else. If you have protected the current destination, there is no color
change.
In MD mode, the button for a destination that is locked or protected turns high-tally red, and the
phrase “Locked by ‹user›” or “Protect by ‹user›” appears on the button when it is selected. When
the locked destination is not selected, it is low-tally red and shows the source and destination
names. In MD mode, the lock button does not disable the protect button, but nevertheless, you can-
not protect a locked destination.
Takes
Following are brief instructions on how to perform a take under different scenarios.
Scenario 1 — X-Y Mode, All Level

category mnemonic to generate the destination name.
