    Other NV9604 Functions Summary The NV9604 is a 1RU control panel, slightly over 9″ deep, overall. It has 32 backlit function but- tons. The NV9604 can operate either by itself as a stand-alone panel or as a extension of an NV9602 control panel.

  • Page 12: Panel Organization

    Panel Organization Function Buttons The NV9604 has an array of 32 function buttons. There is a limited set of button functions when the panel is stand-alone. When it is an NV9602 extension, the buttons’ functions are slightly differ- ent in each of the 4 operating modes of the NV9602. (See Modes of Operation, next.)

    2. Introduction Other NV9604 Functions Under NV9602 Control The NV9604 can be used only for salvo buttons when it is under control of a NV9602 configured in multi-destination mode. Secondary Modes The NV9604 of itself has no secondary modes. The NV9604 has a limited self-test capability, but no setup mode in which to change its panel ID.

    NV9000 configuration software. You may use the Panel IP Configuration Utility if you want to your NV9604 to have a static IP address (with respect to the NV9000) or to use DHCP. The panel, as it comes from the factory, defaults to DHCP.

  • Page 17: Setting The Panel Id

    If no actual panel has that ID, the upload cannot occur. Setting the Panel ID It is not possible to set the panel ID of an NV9604 at the panel itself. You must use NV9000-SE Utilities to set the panel ID.

  • Page 21: Configuration

    Summary The NV9604 is a relatively simple panel. It has 32 function buttons. It can operate stand-alone as a single-destination panel or as a limited X-Y panel. It can also operate as an extension to an NV9602 control panel.
  • Page 22 Click ‘Add Control Panel’ at the bottom of the configuration page. The ‘Add Control Panel’ page appears: Choose “NV9604” from the ‘Type’ field. In the ID field, enter the panel ID you assigned to the panel in the ‘System Management’ page. (You can change the panel ID of an NV9604 only in NV9000-SE Utilities.) Give a name to the panel in the name field and select a user.
  • Page 23 There are 2 other buttons, ‘Suffix’ and ‘Navigate’, both dim (disabled). These do not apply to the NV9604. Return to the ‘Control Panels’ page to view your new entry.

  • Page 26: Button Definitions

    Available options and selections vary from button type to button type. When the NV9604 is used as an NV9602 extension, the use of the buttons depends on the mode in which the NV9602 is configured.

    X — limited X-Y mode M — multi-destination mode Any — any mode When the NV9604 is used by itself, the NV9604 has no modes, but can operate either as single-des- tination panel (using the default destination) or as an X-Y panel. Button Types...
  • Page 28 1. When the second set is selected, pressing the button selects device 2. Note that when an NV9602 is in multi-destination mode, the only operable buttons on the NV9604 are salvo buttons. Undefined This button type is a placeholder: during configuration, it makes the but- ton undefined and inactive.

  • Page 29: Operation

    As an NV9604 operator, you will be confronted initially with a relatively small and simple panel — just 32 buttons (and no display). The NV9604 can operate either as a stand-alone panel or as an extension to an NV9602. As an NV9602 extension, it follows the mode and methods of the NV9602.

  • Page 30: Single-Destination Mode

    Although an NV9602 can be configured in multi-destination mode, the buttons of the NV9604 do not function as multi-destination buttons. When the NV9602 is in multi-destination mode (and the NV9604 is its extension), it is possible to use the NV9604 for salvo buttons, but nothing else.

  • Page 31: Operating Concepts

    Operating Concepts When the NV9604 is a stand-alone panel, the only possible operation is to perform a take: • In single-destination mode, by pressing a source button. • In X-Y mode, by pressing a destination button, then a source button.

  • Page 32: Breakaway

    5. Operation Operating Concepts Breakaway Routes can be all-level in which case they are taken on all levels defined for the destination. The acceptable sources for a route have the same levels as, or some configured mapping to, the levels of the destination.

    • Salvo • Source If your NV9604 is a stand-alone panel, it can have only two button types: source and destination. Just for comparison, the NV9602 has 21 button types, not including “undefined” which is not an actual button type:...

  • Page 34: Previous Source

    It is possible that you will find one or more sources locked or protected because other control pan- els can lock or protect sources and destinations. The NV9604 does not provide lock or protect func- tions. An NV9604 cannot lock, unlock, protect, or unprotect any source or destination.

  • Page 35: Takes

    • At any other panel with “force release” enabled. Takes The NV9604 can operate by itself as a stand-alone panel or as an extension to an NV9602. As an extension to an NV9602, it operates according to the mode in which the NV9602 is configured.

    3 Optionally press ‘Source Shift’ (on the NV9602) to toggle between the source sets. 4 Press a source button on the NV9602 or NV9604 to complete the take. The ‘Status’ field of the NV9602 display shows the source you chose.
  • Page 37 All the buttons turn off. Press any button to test it. If the button is working properly, it will flash a few times rapidly. Pressing the self-test button will terminate the button test and return your panel to its initial state. NV9604 Control Panel • User’s Guide...
