5. Operation
Operating Concepts
When you have finished entered an index or suffixes, press either the back button or the take button
if present. The panel will have tracked your entries by concatenating the index or suffixes to the
current destination name (for a destination category) or to a preset source name (for a source cate-
gory).
While you are pressing digits to enter an index, some of the numeric buttons can become disabled.
They do so because there are no further categories that can be selected using those buttons. For
example, if you have 14 devices in a category, numbered 1–14, after you press the digit 1, digits 5,
6, 7, 8, and 9 go dark. The digits 0–4 remain because they can be part of a valid index.
The same is true for suffixes: if a suffix cannot be used for a device name, it is disabled.
S
Keep in mind that device names are limited to 8 characters.
S
A keypad normally has 10 buttons, 0–9. However, it is possible for a suffix page to have fewer
buttons.
Chop
When a “chop” function is supported by a router, the button is a toggle that enables and disables
“chop.” Chop is a rapid switching of the selected destination device between the current source and
the preset source.
The chop function is used to test system timing and would
not
be used during normal operation.
The default button text is “Chop” but a chop button can have any legend.
Select a preset source and press ‘Chop’ to start the chop function. Press ‘Chop’ again to stop the
chop function.
Clear Preset
The ‘Clear Preset’ button removes all preset entries (while leaving the panel in the same mode).
The clear preset button has the side effect of switching off ‘Save Preset’ mode.
The default button text is “Clear Preset” but the button can have any legend.
Default State
This button returns the NV9642 to its most recent power-up state. You may consider this button an
emergency button or a “soft reset” button.
S
This button does
not
affect any previous routes. Only the panel itself is reset.
The default button text is “Default State” but the button can have any legend.
Destination
This button selects a destination.
A destination button can occur on any page, but destination buttons often appear in destination lists.
Destination lists can occur either (1) in automatically configured, but static, pages or (2) as a result
of pressing a destination category button, in which case, the destinations buttons are generated
dynamically. In either case, you navigate through multiple pages by pressing the back and forward
buttons.
The button text is normally the destination name, but the configurer can give it any text. Dynami-
cally generated destination lists, however, use the device names defined in the NV9000 configura-
tion. of
