Product Summary
Your master control shipment contains one or more master
control products, power cords, miscellaneous cabling, a soft-
ware and documentation CD (SB0221) and this printed
Quickstart Guide. Depending on you order options, the ship-
ment might also include a GUI CD (SB0222).
Frames ship with the I/O cards and master control processors
you ordered already installed and tested.
You should, of course, inspect the shipment for content and
damage. You should also copy all the documentation from
the SB0221 CD to a secure place in your facility's file system.
It is to your advantage to become familiar with the documen-
tation at an early point in your system development.
In addition to this Quickstart Guide, there are several manu-
als and user's guides in the NV5100MC documentation set:

QuickStart Roadmap
The goal of this Quickstart Guide is for you to be able to
hookup everything in your Master Control system and get it
to the point where you can start configuring and cabling.
One of the major hurdles you are facing is that to be able to
set up and configure any one portion of master control, you
must understand everything about master control and (possi-
bly) much about NV9000 router control systems.
Survey the documentation to become acquainted with all the
concepts and then focus on individual tasks.
Topics covered here, in order, are
1 Master control feature set.
What the Master Control devices are, where the connec-
tors are and what they do, etc.

Master Control Features
A master control system is moderately complex, involving a
number of hardware components, software applications,
documentation, computers, networks, and several options.
Figure 1 represents the principal components of an
NV5100MC master control system.
Master Control Processors
Master control processors are the heart of the master control
system. There are two broad categories:
MCPMs — master control processing modules.
MCEs — master control engines.
Each MCPM or MCE is considered a channel. The main out-
put of a channel is called "program output."
Frames
MCPMs and MCEs reside in a master control frame. A master
control system can include one or more master control
