User’s Guide
4 Press the setup button once again and continue to press the setup button until the panel
displays ‘ACQ IP’ once again as in step 1.
5 After you enter the panel ID, reconnect the Ethernet cable. The system controller will detect
your panel in a few seconds. (All panel IDs must be unique.)
You can now prepare an NV9605 configuration in NV9000-SE Utilities and upload the configura-
tion to the NV9605. You need the panel ID to create a NV9605 configuration. When you upload
the configuration, the panel ID you entered in NV9000-SE Utilities designates the actual panel to
which the upload will occur. If no actual panel has that ID, the upload cannot occur.
Testing
A panel test function is available when the NV9605 is disconnected from the system controller.
Run the test to determine the health of your NV9605. See
on page 41 for detail. You
can also view the software version numbers under setup mode.
These are points to consider after you install your NV9605 control panel(s):
1 Do the buttons illuminate? When an NV9605 powers up, one or more of its buttons are sup-
posed to turn green or amber. Did it pass the panel test mentioned above?
2 When the NV9605 powers up and it is connected to the system controller, it should initialize
completely. (That takes a few seconds.) The NV9000 system should load whatever configura-
tion exists for that panel and the buttons appropriate for its configuration should light.
If you continue to see “No Server,” “ACQ IP,” or “Locating Network,” you have a problem.
Reboot everything and try again.
The NV9605, by default, acquires its IP address through DHCP on the system controller’s
panel/router network. You can use the Panel IP Configuration Utility to force the panel to
have a static IP address.
If (in setup mode) you do not see your designated panel ID in the ‘Preset’ display field, you
have either not initialized the panel or no configuration has been created for your panel in
NV9000-SE Utilities.
3 Is the system controller actually running? With the typical noise levels in a facility, it can
sometimes be difficult to tell. Use the ‘System’ pages of NV9000-SE Utilities to make the
determination.
4 Is NV9000-SE Utilities installed and operating? If so, can you upload a configuration to the
specified panel?
5 Does the configuration actually work? Is it useful? Can the operator perform takes and per-
form other operations?
