Installation
Setting Up Your Configuration PC
check ‘Enable NV9000 Mode’. We recommend that you check ‘Use DHCP. . .’ also. Do not forget
to click ‘Update Remote Panel’.
The NV9000 normally uses DHCP to assign IP addresses to its panels. If you do not configure
your remote panel modules for DHCP, you would then have to configure your NV9000 system
not to use DHCP and that is not feasible.
In NV9000-SE Utilities
You must create a definition for each router you have in your system. In this guide, we are inter-
ested only in compact routers, but your system certainly may include other routers.
You must create a configuration for each remote panel in your system. Your system may also
include NV96xx panels.
The levels you define for the routers in NV9000-SE Utilities must match the levels defined in
CRSC. You must specify the same number of levels, the same level numbers, and the levels must
be of the same size. NV9000-SE Utilities also allows you to define “level sets.” You must have at
least one level set. A suitable level set might be one that includes all levels.
Once panels and routers are defined in NV9000-SE Utilities, you must enumerate the inputs and
outputs (i.e., map sources to router partitions and input connector numbers and map destina-
tions to router partitions and output connector numbers.) You can do this in the ‘Devices’ page
or using the ‘Add Device’ or ‘Add Multiple Devices’ tools.
Further, you can define system salvos in NV9000-SE Utilities and assign them to panel buttons.
Salvos are a topic outside the scope of this guide. Refer to the NV9000-SE Utilities User’s Guide.
Also refer to the NV9000 Network Example on page 171.
 Note that AES setup in NV9000-SE Utilities is unusual. Exercise care: you must use the odd
channel numbers to represent the I/O pairs at the rear of your compact router(s).
You must also assign an IP address to the configuration PC. Your PC might have to appear on the
NV9000’s house net (or the NV915’s “Config” net) and on the panel/router network. See

Up Your Configuration PC , following.
I/O connections
Your I/O connections depend on your hardware and how you configure the routers and panels.
Configuration depends on your hardware and your I/O connections. In other words, there is a
cyclic dependency among the system design issues. At some point during the design process,
you must define your I/O connections in NV9000-SE Utilities.
Refer to the NV9000 Network Example on page 171.
Setting Up Your Configuration PC
Your configuration PC must be assigned an IP address on the same subnet as one of your
compact router networks. The factory default subnet is 192.168.2.xxx. It is expected that you will
use a subnet appropriate for your system. Follow these steps to configure your PC’s address:
