Configuration

Category Lists and Category Pages

Under the 'Panel Server' model, panel operators may select devices using either a category

list or category pages. (The two methods are mutually exclusive. A panel can be configured

in one way or the other.)

An NV9649 that is configured for device selection by category list shows "CatLists" in its

'Info' display. An NV9649 that is configured for device selection by category page shows

"CatPages" in its 'Info' display.

Using a category list, panel operators can select devices in 3 steps:

1 Place the panel in either source mode or destination mode, as required.

2 Turn the knob until the desired device category mnemonic appears in the preset

display. Then press the knob to select that category.

3 When the category has been selected, the operator can now either turn the knob to

select a device within the category, or press suffix (or index) buttons to "build" a device

name from the category mnemonic and the pressed suffixes. The operator can actually

use both techniques to select a device in the category.

To minimize the number of categories through which the operator must search, the

configurer must define a category list that includes only the categories through which the

operator may browse using the knob. The list is independent of the categories represented

on buttons.



The operator cannot select categories with the knob unless you define two category

lists, one for sources and one for destinations. The category list may, of course, include

all categories.

How to Create a Category List

Follow these guidelines.

1 Go to the NV9649 configuration page in NV9000-SE Utilities. (The page must be for a

configuration using the server model and for which the panel option 'Use Category &

Suffix Pages' is unchecked.)
