Configuration
Button Functions for NV9609 Mode
Destination
Protect
The button sets or removes a “protect” on the current destination device.
The protect can be removed only by the user that originally set the protect,
or by a panel that has “Force Release” enabled.
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.
The button definition has no fields to configure. Its legend cannot be
changed.
The NV9649 provides no explicit indication, during operation, whether a
destination is locked or unlocked.
Free Source The button selects a pre-defined phantom device that can be used to release
or “free” devices on the data (machine control) level. A free source is also
used with tielines to free the tieline for others to use. The free source is
defined in the
Level Set Details page of NV9000-SE Utilities.
The button definition has no fields to configure. Its legend is arbitrary.
Level The button selects a level.
The button definition has one field to configure: the level.
If the panel has multiple level buttons, operators can select multiple levels.
When all level buttons are selected, a take is “all-level.” When one or more
level buttons are selected, a take occurs on those levels. (If a panel has a level
button for all levels of the current destination, and they are all selected, that
condition would be “all level” too.)
You must select levels before selecting the source, otherwise multi-level
takes do not work. They are all level.
(Multi-level takes — and level buttons — are not available in level mode .)
Operators that want to examine the levels of a destination may press ‘Level
Mode’ and scroll through the levels. The ‘Status’ display shows the source for
each individual level as you scroll and shows whether the source is a
breakaway source.
Level Mode The button toggles the panel in and out of level mode. “All Level” appears in
the ‘Info’ display when level mode is off.
Level mode allows operators (1) to examine the levels of the current
destination and (2) to perform single-level takes.
Source buttons and destination buttons, and some other button types, are
disabled in level mode. The only means to select a source are source
category buttons.
The operator must start the selection of a source (using a category button)
while in level mode for single-level breakaway. The panel exits level mode
when the operator starts the source selection. The level chosen in level
mode remains in effect for the take.
The button definition has no fields to configure. Its legend is arbitrary.
