buttons. These buttons scroll through pages of destinations
or through pages of salvos. The scroll buttons page through levels if you have more levels
defined than fit on the LCD buttons.
• Keypad and category area — 24 buttons, 10 of which are have fixed functions. These are either
numeric buttons (0–9) or “category” buttons, depending on context. The other 14 buttons can
be assigned any function, including additional categories and suffixes.
The 10 numeric/category buttons are arranged like a telephone keypad:
See NV9616 on page 292 for information about using the ‘NV9616’ configuration page. Note also
that the NV9608 control panel is nearly identical to the NV9616, but it has 8 LCD button modules,
not 16.
Modes of Operation
The panel operates in either an X-Y (single source/destination) mode or a multi-destination mode.
A function button (XY/MD) can toggle between the modes. The NV9616 can also be configured as
X-Y only, or multi-destination only.
The primary modes of operation are:
• X-Y Mode — full control of all router levels. Choose a destination, optionally choose desired
breakaway levels, choose a source, and press Take to complete a desired route. In this mode, the
LCD buttons function as a display and show status for up to 16 levels. The scroll buttons reveal
other “pages” of levels if there are more than 16.
• Multi-Destination Mode — lets you control multiple destinations. The panel displays up to 16
destinations at a time. You can scroll through 16-destination pages using the Page Up and Page
Down
buttons. Select a destination, choose a source, and repeat for all desired routes. Then
press Take.
Takes are “all level,” and breakaways cannot be performed. The “all level” take matches as
many of the destination levels as possible to the available source levels, using the destination’s
“primary” level as the reference.
Secondary modes include:
• Salvo Mode — pressing a Salvo button places the NV9616 in “Salvo” mode. The LCD buttons
function as a display, showing the names of up to 16 salvos at a time. Additional salvos (if any)
are viewable by pressing the Page Up or Page Down buttons.
Note If breakaway takes are performed in X-Y mode, the destination status in
MD mode will be reverse text (on the LCD buttons).
Note The destination’s “primary” level is defined as the virtual level with the
lowest ID number
— as configured in the virtual level list.
