Introduction

Modes of Operation

Modes of Operation
The NV9605 operates in one of 2 modes:
• Limited X-Y
• Multi-Destination
The panel's set of button functions varies slightly with the mode.
The modes (or behavioral models) are determined at configuration. The operator cannot
switch between different modes.

Limited X-Y Mode

In limited X-Y mode, takes occur from a single selectable source to a single selectable
destination.
If the panel has any level buttons, operators may perform breakaway — routing sources on
fewer than all levels.
Pressing a source button completes the take. There is no 'Take' button.
Operators can scroll among 4 pages of sources and destinations and use a 'Source Shift'
button to toggle between two sets of sources in each page.

Multi-Destination Mode

In this mode, source buttons are configured with destinations as well as sources. Thus, each
source button completes a route to an individual destination. If each button had a different
destination, it would be possible to route to 32 destinations in each of the 4 pages. The
typical configuration would have fewer destinations. The panel uses spacing to separate
the left-hand buttons into 4 groups. The most natural number of destinations would be 4
(per page), but that is not a requirement.
There is no 'Take' button.
Takes are all-level.
Operators can scroll among 4 pages of sources and destinations and use a 'Source Shift'
button to toggle between two sets of sources on each page.

Secondary Modes

Additional but secondary modes of panel operation are:
• Setup mode — where the NV9605 is freshly powered up, but disconnected from the
network. In this mode, you can preset the NV9605's panel ID and perform a few
diagnostic tasks.
• Menu mode — pressing a menu button places the NV9605 in "menu" mode. In menu
mode, the buttons lose their normal functions and become part of a menu that
changes as needed during menu operation.
When the panel is not in setup mode or menu mode, we say it is in normal mode. "Normal"
means the panel is functioning in one of the 2 operating modes.
