User’s Guide
X-Y Mode
In X-Y mode, you may lock or unlock the current destination on each of its levels. Select the
level(s) and press the ‘Destination Lock’ button to perform the lock. Select locked levels and
press the ‘Destination Lock’ button to unlock them. A locked level has an “L” next to it when it
appears in the display.
In MD mode, a locked destination appears bright red and its button legend is ‘LOCKED by ‹user›’
and the ‘X-Y Display’ button turns dark red.
In X-Y mode, the ‘X-Y Display’ button turns dark red for a locked destination.
See Lock, Protect, and Release on page 66.
Destination Protect
This button is a toggle that sets or clears a protect on the current destination device. The protect
can be removed at the panel that originally set the protect, at any panel that has the same user
ID, or by a forced release at any panel.
S Note: a protect prevents others from routing to a destination; a lock prevents anyone — even
the user who issued the lock — from routing to the destination.
S You may lock a protected destination, but you cannot change a locked destination to a
protected destination directly. You must first unlock it.
The ‘Destination Protect’ button text is normally “Dest Protect” and when a selected MD desti-
nation is protected, the button legend becomes “Dest Unprotect.”
MD Mode
In MD mode, a protected destination has a “P” next to it when it appears in the display. When
you select a protected MD destination with a button, the ‘Destination Protect’ button goes
high-tally.
To protect or unprotect MD destinations, select the destinations and press a ‘Destination
Protect’ button.
X-Y Mode
In X-Y mode, you may protect or unprotect the current destination on each of its levels. Select
the level(s) and press the ‘Destination Protect’ button to perform the protect. Select protected
levels and press the ‘Destination Protect’ button to unprotect them. A protected level has a “P”
next to it when it appears in the display.
See Lock, Protect, and Release on page 66.
Free Source
This button selects a phantom device that can be used to release or “free” devices on the data
(control) level. A free source can also be used with tielines to free the tieline for others to use.
Use it as if it were a source.
(The actual free source is configured in the Level Set Details page of NV9000-SE Utilities.)
The default button text is “Free Source” but the button can have any legend.
