Introduction
Modes of Operation
Modes of Operation
The NV9605 operates in one of 2 modes:
•
•
.
The panel’s set of button functions varies
slightly
with the mode.
The modes (or behavioral models) are determined at configuration. The operator cannot
switch between different modes.
Limited X-Y Mode
In limited X-Y mode, takes occur from a single selectable source to a single selectable
destination.
If the panel has any level buttons, operators may perform breakaway
—
routing sources on
fewer than all levels.
Pressing a source button completes the take. There is no ‘Take’ button.
Operators can scroll among 4 pages of sources and destinations and use a ‘Source Shift’
button to toggle between two sets of sources in each page.
Multi-Destination Mode
In this mode, source buttons are configured with destinations as well as sources. Thus, each
source button completes a route to an individual destination. If each button had a different
destination, it would be possible to route to 32 destinations in each of the 4 pages. The
typical configuration would have fewer destinations. The panel uses spacing to separate
the left-hand buttons into 4 groups. The most natural number of destinations would be 4
(per page), but that is not a requirement.
There is no ‘Take’ button.
Takes are all-level.
Operators can scroll among 4 pages of sources and destinations and use a ‘Source Shift’
button to toggle between two sets of sources on each page.
Secondary Modes
Additional but secondary modes of panel operation are:
•
Setup mode
—
where the NV9605 is freshly powered up, but disconnected from the
network. In this mode, you can preset the NV9605’s panel ID and perform a few
diagnostic tasks.
•
Menu mode
—
pressing a menu button places the NV9605 in “menu” mode. In menu
mode, the buttons lose their normal functions and become part of a menu that
changes as needed during menu operation.
When the panel is not in setup mode or menu mode, we say it is in
normal mode
. “Normal”
means the panel is functioning in one of the 2 operating modes.
