Virtual Control Panels
Virtual Control Panels
The installation does not take long. The final screen appears indicating that installation is
complete:
If the installation fails, call Tech Support.
The default installed pathname for any of the virtual panels is
C:\Program Files\NVISION\‹ panelname› \‹ panelname› .exe
The default path in the start menu
Start > Programs > NVision > ‹ panelname›
The installer places a shortcut to your virtual panel on your desktop.
Initial Setup
At some time after you install the virtual panel, and before it becomes operational, you must
perform a brief setup. The setup (1) identifies the router control system’s primary controller (or a
redundant system’s virtual IP address) and (2) selects a configuration for the virtual panel.
 Your computer must be connected to your router control system.
 You can use NV9000-SE Utilities to review existing panel configurations. (These are labelled
HW Panels.) If you have no configuration of the type required for a virtual panel, you will
have to create one.
Follow these steps to perform the setup:
1 Launch the virtual panel.
Either double-click the application directly, double-click its desktop shortcut, or choose the
program from the Windows start menu. The panel will appear after several seconds and it
will appear black with dark gray buttons.
 If a panel does not appear, or the panel is minimized, take the corrective steps outlined
under
Upgrading Old Virtual Panels on page 14.
Every virtual panel has a context menu in which to select options. (There is no other menu.)
Right-click anywhere in the virtual panel (except over a “display” region) to get the context
menu.
