Installation

Follow these steps to install a NV9605 control panel:

• Mount, and secure, the panel in the rack.

The NV9605 is designed to mount in a 19© rack. Rack-mounting is not a requirement.

• We assume that you have an Ethernet switch connected to the "Panel and Router

Network" port of your system controller. Connect an Ethernet cable from that switch to

the RJ-45 port at the rear of the NV9605.

You can also connect the panel using a serial protocol and a serial cable connected at

the panel's DE9 port. The connection is RS-422. The system controller will require a

serial port. (The NV960 has several serial card options and breakout boxes for such a

connection.) Refer to the NV9000-SE Utilities User's Guide for serial configuration

options. Contact Grass Valley regarding serial interface options.

• Connect power. It is advisable to connect the power supply to the panel before

connecting the power supply to AC current. You can use two power supplies for

redundancy.

This document is available through the Grass Valley web site.

You must use NV9000-SE Utilities to configure the NV9605 control panel. Contact Grass

Valley if you need to obtain the latest version of this NV9000 configuration software.

You may use the Panel IP Configuration Utility if you want to your NV9605 to have a static IP

address (with respect to the system controller) or to use DHCP. The panel, as it comes from

the factory, defaults to DHCP.

Before your system controller can communicate with an NV9605, you must give it a panel

ID. Follow these steps for each NV9605 you are installing:

1 Power up the NV9605. Do not connect its Ethernet cable. (Disconnect it if it is

connected.)

After about a minute, the display will show 'ACQ IP' at the top and show the panel's

current panel ID. The top right button is high-tally green:

We call that the "setup" button while the panel is disconnected from the network.
