Introduction
Summary
• Configures and identifies, in detail, the many signal connections to and from routers.
Note that NV9000-SE Utilities does not exactly configure routers. For router configuration, there
are 3 main configuration programs:
• MRC. This program configures NV8500 hybrid routers (only).
• Uniconfig. This program configures all other NVISION series routers, such as the NV7512,
including NV8500 standard routers (those with EM0666 control cards).
• CRSC. This program configures compact routers.
The system controller receives commands from control panels, issues switching commands to
routers based on those commands, and returns status to the control panels.
If the tieline option is enabled, the system controller also performs tieline management. A
system controller can also perform certain other services.
Administrators can use NV9000-SE Utilities to view router status and tieline status, and to
perform certain system management tasks.
The NV9000 system provides sources that can be used and manipulated by master control
subsystems (which include iMC master control panels).
The NV9000 Web Suite (a browser application viewing DHP, tieline, and crosspoint data) can be
used to view system status remotely.
This is a schematic representation of an NV9000 system:
Control panels include
• Physical panels (such as the NV901, NV9640, or NV9649).
• CR series panels (such as the CP1604 or CP3232).
• Virtual panels (such as the NV9601V or NV9640V).
Virtual panels are software applications that emulate hardware panels and run on PCs on the
facility network.
• Software panels, or GUIs (such as the EC9700 and EC9710).
