5. Operation
Operating Concepts
Destination devices are represented on the ‘Destination’ display.
Categories that include both source and destinations appear in both source mode and destination
mode.
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.
In X-Y mode, the destination button (left or top left) turns red when you lock the destination. You
must select at least one level on which to lock the destination. To unlock a destination, select
exactly those levels and press ‘Destination Lock’ again. The button reverts to amber when it is
unlocked on all levels.
S The panel provides no explicit indication, in X-Y mode, which levels are locked or unlocked.
In MD mode, the lock affects all selected MD destinations. The buttons for those destinations turn
red and their legends read “Locked by ‹user›” where ‹user› is the user name assigned to your panel.
The button representing that destination on other users’ NV9616s or NV9608s turns red with the
same legend.
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.
In X-Y mode, the destination button (left or top left) does not change color on your panel when you
protect the destination. The same destination does however turn red on other users’ NV9616s or
NV9608s (and on certain other panels in your NV9000 system). You must select at least one level
on which to protect the destination. To unprotect a destination, select exactly those levels and press
‘Destination Protect’ again. The button reverts to amber on other panels when it is unprotected on
all levels.
S The panel provides no explicit indication, in X-Y mode, of which levels are protected or unpro-
tected and in fact no indication of which destinations you have protected or unprotected.
In MD mode, the protect affects all selected MD destinations. The buttons for those destinations
turn red and their legends read “Protect by ‹user›” where ‹user› is the user name assigned to your
panel. The button representing that destination on other users’ NV9616s or NV9608s turns red with
the same legend.
S 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.
S You may lock a protected destination, but you cannot change a locked destination to a protected
destination directly. You must first unlock it.
Free Source
The button selects a pre-defined phantom device that can be used to release or “free” devices on the
data (machine control) level. A free source is also used with tielines to free the tieline for others to
use. The actual free source used is defined in the NV9000 configuration.
Use this button as if it were a source button.
