Name
Enter the name for the master control subsystsem (MCPM or MCE) in this field. The name of the
router helps distinguish the master control subsystsem from routers within NV9000-SE Utilities.
Router names and the name of the master control system do not mean very much otherwise.
Router Host
The ‘Host’ drop-down list provides a list of the hosts defined in your configuration.
A router’s host is the system controller in an NV9000 system that controls the router. (There are
potentially many controllers in the system.)
Choose the host you prefer from the drop-down menu. The default, and most frequently
encountered, host is NVCONFIG.
To define hosts, use the ‘Hosts’ table of the ‘Views’ pane. See
Primary Control Point
A control point is a coded description of the connection between the system controller (the
host) and the master control subsystsem.
The ‘Primary Control Point’ field is a drop-down list. The only choice in the drop-down list is ‘-
New-’.
If you want to review the existing control points in your configuration, go to the ‘Control
Points’ table under the ‘Views’ pane.
The MCPM or MCE’s control point is an Ethernet port, but you cannot specify the control point
until you click ‘Add & Edit’ and the master control details page appears.
