Ignore This Control System
The ‘Ignore This Control system’ is to be used in emergencies and very carefully.
 It is not obvious how to execute the command.
The ‘Ignore This Control System’ command causes NV9000-SE Utilities to stop polling the
control system (that you right-clicked) for status. This is useful when that control system is
offline. When a control system is off-line, NV9000-SE Utilities spends nearly all its time
attempting to get status from that system while all its other functions come to a near halt.
Use this command in such a case.
 Be very careful because it is not obvious how to execute the command. There is no feedback.
Follow these steps to cause a control system to be ignored:
1 Right-click the control system icon in the ‘System Management’ pane.
2 Choose ‘Ignore This Control System’ from the context menu that appears.
3 Close the ‘System Management’ page that is displayed. Click the “X” in the page tab to do so.
This is the critical part: without closing the page, NV9000-SE Utilities continues to poll the
control system.
To revert the system, i.e., to turn polling back on: right-click the control system’s icon in the
‘System Management’ pane. Doing so causes the control system’s main page to reappear and
NV9000-SE Utilities will start polling the system again.
Remove This Control System
The ‘Remove This Control System’ command deletes a control system entry from the ‘System
Management’ pane.
Be very careful about this command: it removes the control system entry without a confirmation
dialog. If you accidentally click this command, NV9000-SE Utilities removes the control system
without warning. It can be a nuisance to restore an accidentally deleted control system entry.
