5. Operation
Operating Concepts
S, B, X
Previous Source
The button presets the previously routed source to the currently selected destination. To restore the
previous route, you must next press ‘Take’ assuming you have not changed the destination. This
function is useful when you make a route in error.
The button does
not
restore the previous destination. If you changed the destination and press ‘Pre-
vious Source’, the take will not restore the previous route.
Any
Salvo
The salvo button executes a system salvo immediately.
Any
Source
The button selects a source. The source name appears in the ‘Status’ display.
Pressing a source
button completes a take.
The nature of source buttons differs according to the panel’s configured operating mode:
• Stand-alone panel, single-destination operation or X-Y operation
A source button selects a source.
• NV9602 extension, single-destination, with or without breakaway, and limited X-Y modes
A source button can select one of two sources. The first source belongs to source set 1 and the
second source belongs to source set 2. Pressing a ‘Source Shift’ button (on the NV9602) toggles
the panel between source set 1 and set 2.
• NV9602 extension, multi-destination mode
Multi-destination mode applies only when the NV9604 is an NV9602 extension and the
NV9602 is in multi-destination mode. However, the NV9604 has no buttons that perform multi-
destination operations. When the NV9602 is in multi-destination mode, only the NV9604’s
salvo buttons are available.
Any
Undefined
An undefined button cannot be used and appears dark (unlit) on the panel. The term “undefined”
has meaning primarily to the configurer.
Lock, Protect, and Release
In a multi-user system, routes made by one user can be made safe from being accidentally or mali-
ciously change by another user.
Definitions
Owner
The user ID of a panel where a lock or protect was issued.
Source lock
No one can use the source.
Source protect
No one but the owner can use the source.
Destination lock
No one can route to the destination.
Destination protect
No one but the owner can route to the destination.
Release
To remove a lock or protect.
It is possible that you will find one or more sources locked or protected because other control pan-
els can lock or protect sources and destinations.
The NV9604 does not provide lock or protect func-
tions. An NV9604 cannot lock, unlock, protect, or unprotect any source or destination.
