Testing
As shown previously, in step 3, a panel test function is available when the NV9642 is disconnected
from the system controller. Run the test to determine the health of your NV9642. See
on page 61 for detail. Press the ‘Software Versions’ button to review the versions of installed soft-
ware and firmware.
These are points to consider after you install your NV9642 control panel(s):
1 Do the buttons illuminate? When an NV9642 powers up, its two leftmost LCD buttons are sup-
posed to turn green. Does it pass the panel test mentioned above?
2 When the NV9642 powers up and it is connected to the system controller, it should initialize
completely. (That takes a few seconds.) The NV9000 system should load whatever configura-
tion exists for that panel and the buttons appropriate for that configuration should light in the
colors appropriate for the top-level button page of that configuration.
If you continue to see “No Server,” “Acquiring IP Address,” or “Locating Network” on button
2, you have a problem. Reboot everything and try again.
S
The NV9642, by default, acquires its IP address through DHCP on the NV9000’s panel/
router network. You can use the Panel IP Configuration Utility to force the panel to have a
static IP address.
If (in setup mode) you do not see your designated panel ID on the display, you have either not
initialized the panel or no configuration has been created for your panel in NV9000-SE Utili-
ties.
3 Is the system controller actually running? With the typical noise levels in a facility, it can some-
times be difficult to tell. Use the ‘System’ pages of NV9000-SE Utilities to make the determi-
nation.
4 Is NV9000-SE Utilities installed and operating? If so, can you upload a configuration to the
specified panel?
5 Does the configuration actually work? Is it useful? Can the operator perform takes and perform
other operations?
The design of an NV9642 “operator interface” is non-trivial. You might want to consider how well
your operator interface works in addition to the basic question of whether it works.
