Control Panels
Panel Features
For these panels, the display fields can show either names from a name set or system
mnemonics for devices depending on (1) the state of the ‘Name Set Toggle’ button (if the panel
has one), (2) the default name set, and (3) the existence of name sets in the NV9000 configura-
tion. (An “alias” is a name defined in a name set.)
An NV9000 can have many name sets. See Edit Name Sets on page 95.
The software panels do not support name sets.
Modes and Behavioral Models
Most panels can operate in different modes. Usually, the mode can be selected by the operator.
Some panels can be configured according to certain “behavioral models” and these behavioral
models are quite distinct. For these panels, the operator cannot choose a behavioral model.
In addition, some panels have several secondary modes, such as salvo mode or menu mode,
that can be used on occasion.
Most panels enter setup mode when their Ethernet port is disconnected. It is in setup mode that
you can set panel IDs and perform certain diagnostics. Not all panels have a setup mode. Please
refer to the specifical control panel’s user guide for information about setup mode.
Principle Modes
There are 3 principle modes:
• X-Y mode — individual control of all router levels. Operators choose a destination, optionally
choose desired breakaway levels, choose a source, and press ‘Take’ to complete a desired
route.
Some panels have a “limited X-Y mode.”
• Multi-destination mode — lets you route to multiple destinations. Typically, operators select
a destination, choose a source, and repeat for all desired routes, then press ‘Take’. Takes are
“all level,” and breakaways cannot be performed.
 A ‘Hold’ button, if available, allows you to select many MD destinations at once.
• Single-destination mode.
The NV9602 and NV9607 provide “single destination” mode, wherein the panel’s destination
is configured as the default destination and there are no destination buttons. Takes are per-
formed on all levels.
These panels also support a “single-destination with breakaway” mode. See the user’s guide
for more information.
For other panels, “single-destination” mode is not a distinct mode, but it can be simulated
on the panel. It can be combined with the other two modes.
Secondary Modes
Not all panels provide these modes. The secondary modes of panel operation are:
• Setup mode — where the panel is freshly powered up, but disconnected from the network.
In this mode, you can preset the panel’s panel ID and perform a few diagnostic tasks.
• Salvo mode — the operator presses a Salvo button to enter salvo mode where the display
lists both system salvos and local salvos. The operator may select a salvo and then the ‘Take’
button to execute a salvo.
