Introduction
Other NV9641 Functions
“single-bus,” “single-destination,” or “button-per-source” mode
—
can be emulated in either
X-Y mode or MD mode.
The primary modes of operation are:
•
X-Y Mode
—
individual control of all router
levels
. Choose a destination, optionally
choose desired breakaway levels, choose a source, and press ‘Take’ to complete a
desired route.
•
Single-Destination Mode.
Single-destination” mode is not a distinct mode, but we mention it because it is a mode
on some other panels and can be simulated on the NV9641. It can be combined with
the other two modes. You can create many different forms of “single-destination”
mode. This mode may in fact have more than a single destination.
Although single-destination mode is not complicated, to understand it you need to
understand the different button types. Please read the Configuration and Operation
chapters and then see
•
Limited X-Y Mode.
When the panel is configured according to the paging model, we can say it is in limited
X-Y mode. In limited X-Y mode, takes are all-level and apply to a single destination.
•
Multi-Destination Mode
—
lets you control multiple destinations. The LCD buttons
display destinations and sources. You can scroll through destination lists using the ‘Up’
and ‘Down’ buttons. Select a destination, choose a source, and repeat for all desired
routes. Then press ‘Take’. Takes are “all level,” and breakaways cannot be performed.
‘Hold’ mode allows you to select many MD destinations at once.
The secondary modes of panel operation are:
•
Setup Mode
—
where the NV9641 is freshly powered up, but disconnected from the
network. In this mode, you can preset the NV9641’s panel ID and perform a few
diagnostic tasks.
•
Salvo Mode
—
pressing a Salvo button (and then the ‘Take’ button) executes a salvo.
(The duration of a salvo is indeterminate.) Salvo mode tends to be very brief.
•
Menu Mode
—
pressing a Menu button places the NV9641 in “menu” mode. In menu
mode, the LCD button array becomes a menu that changes as needed during menu
operation.
Other modes of operation are:
•
Hold mode
—
when you press the ‘Hold’ button, hold mode becomes active and when
you press it again, hold mode becomes inactive. See
on
.
•
Save preset mode
—
when you press the ‘Save Preset’ button, ‘Save Preset’ mode
becomes active and when you press it again, ‘Save Preset’ mode becomes inactive. See
.
Other NV9641 Functions
The NV9641 can be configured to perform the following additional functions:
•
Previous source, free source, and “quick” source.
•
Lock/protect/release for destinations.
•
Return to a pre-defined (or default) state.
