Context Menu
If you right-click any system controller in the system management pane, a context menu
appears allowing you to configure additional aspects of the system controller:
The commands of the context menu are discussed under
Managing Control Systems
The ‘System Management’ pages (and navigation pane) allow you to manipulate system
controllers
—
without regard to the configuration content.
In the ‘System Management’ page, a control system is an NV9000 system controller (i.e, an NV960
or NV920 or a redundant pair of NV960s or NV920s). A system controller is also called a controller.
The two controllers in a redundant pair are called controller 1 and controller 2.
An NV9000 configuration is a database, comprising a set of router definitions, level definitions,
device definitions, control panel configurations, connectivity information, and some other kinds
of information.
An NV9000 configuration resides in the file system of your PC while you are developing the
configuration. At any point, using the ‘System Management’ page, you can transfer the configu-
ration to the file system of a system controller and the system controller is then considered
“configured.” You can also transfer a configuration from a system controller to your PC. You
might want to do this to modify the configuration or simply to examine the configuration.
When a system controller is started or restarted, the NV9000 software in the system controller
loads it “active” configuration from the configuration stored in its file system.
You can use the ‘System Management’ page to add or remove control systems. (There is a short
delay after you add a control system before the control system appears fully in the navigation
pane.) You can also use the ‘Add Control system’ command of the ‘System’ menu to add a
control system.
You can use the ‘File’ menu to open, save, close, and delete NV9000 configurations. You can also
use the ‘File’ menu to import or export NV9000 configurations.
