Regions of the Configuration Page
Above the ‘Revert to Saved’ and ‘Save’ buttons (always present) there are 3 main regions:
• A graphic representation of the NV9601 panel.
Click on any of the 36 button “proxies” to assign a function to that button. Specify the
button characteristics in the button definition section of the page.
In the middle of the graphic is a representation of the panel’s display. This
representation supports the definition of multi-destination devices and salvos. Click
the display representation to edit the multi-destination device list. Right-click the
display to edit the panel’s salvo list. Click the ‘Page Up’ or ‘Page Down’ button to scroll
the display representation.
When you are editing the salvo list, right-click the display to return to the multi-
destination device list. When you are editing the salvo list, you can add or remove (1)
system salvos and (2) local salvos.
Click a line in the display to add or remove a system salvo. Control-click a line in the
display to add, remove, or rename a local salvo. See
Salvo Configuration on page 32 for
more detail.
Among the function buttons at the far right of the graphic are 10 buttons colored
yellow. These are category buttons. They can also be considered a keypad. (In fact,
these buttons are used for the keypad under setup mode and menu mode.) They
cannot be configured as other than category buttons. See
Category Selection on
page 40 .
The selection buttons (under the display) cannot be configured.
 Buttons disabled during operation are dark on the control panel. Undefined
buttons are also dark.

text fields.

Configuration Tasks
The person configuring an NV9601 panel will want to consider how best to utilize the fixed
number of function buttons to support the devices and routers in the router control system
at hand. The task is non-trivial.
In support of that effort, the configurer will do the following:
• Select panel options.
• Assign functions to buttons.
The panel operator, in most cases, needs a ‘Take’ button. In addition to their basic function,
selection buttons provide feedback about the preset source device and level mapping. A
‘Clear Preset’ button is strongly recommended.
