Compact Routers in an NV9000 System
Installing one or more Compact Routers on an NV9000 network requires Ethernet connections,
a system configuration generated by NV9000-SE Utilities and uploaded to the system controller,
and one or more control panels, either NV96xx panels or CR Series remote panels.
Figure 13-1 shows a typical NV9000 router control system as it applies to Compact Routers:
Fig. 13-1: NV9000 Router Control System Schema
The choice of routers and number of routers, of course, depends on your requirements. An
NV96xx control panel is not strictly required, but strongly recommended.
 You must use CRSC to perform the initial setup of routers and remote panels for an NV9000
network.
Network Connection
Use CAT5 Ethernet cable and follow these simple steps:
1 Connect your Ethernet switch to the “Router and Panel Network” port of the NV9000 host
computer.
2 Connect each router to the Ethernet switch.
You must assign a unique IP address to each router and designate at least one physical level
(partition) for each router.
3 Connect your remote panel(s) to the Ethernet switch.
You must either assign a unique IP address to each remote panel or specify that the panel is
to be identified by DHCP.
Refer to the NV9000-SE Utilities User’s Guide or its on-line help for detailed information.
