(Each MCE in the NV5100MC frame connects to the mas-
ter control Ethernet switch. The NV5100MC itself con-
nects to the NV920 through the NV920’s
router
network.)
Configuration PCs
Connect any PCs you want connected to the system control-
ler to a switch on the Ethernet port for configuration and
monitoring. Set the PC’s IP address to a fixed, unique value
on that network.
Each user at your facility might wish to have a set of virtual
panels, or to use the EC9700 or EC9710 GUIs. These software
control panels allow remote or distributed control of the
NV9000 system. In addition, one or more persons will use
NV9000-SE Utilities to configure the system.
Install and use NV9000-SE Utilities on one or more PCs con-
nected to the system controller.
Part 3: Install NV9000-SE Utilities
NV9000-SE Utilities is a software application to create com-
plete NV9000 system configurations. It allows you also to
configure routers and control panels, and to perform system
maintenance.
(A configuration must be uploaded to the system controller
and the system controller must be restarted for the configura-
tion to take effect.)
NV9000-SE Utilities can run on any PC connected over Ether-
net to the system controller.
NV9000-SE Utilities can also be used “offline” to create con-
figurations that you can transport and use at different loca-
tions.
S
Note that NV960, NV920, and NV915 configurations are inter-
changeable.
Installing NV9000-SE Utilities on a PC
The PC on which NV9000-SE Utilities is installed must have
the following:
•
Windows XP Professional, Vista, or Windows 7.
•
Late-model Pentium-class processor.
•
256MB (or more) RAM.
•
At least one 10/100baseT Ethernet port
Ensure that the PC’s network connection has a fixed IP
address on the system controller’s house network. You do not
need the network connection to install the software, or even
to run the software, but you will need it to write configura-
tions to the system controller.
S
The system controllers in a redundant system must be configured
identically (except for their IP addresses, of course).
Installation Steps
To install NV9000-SE Utilities on a PC, follow these steps:
1) Load the SB0033 CD in your PC’s CD ROM drive. The CD
will auto-play and you will see the following screen:
Click ‘Configuration Software’. The next page appears:
Click ‘Install NV9000-SE Utilities’ to launch the installer.
2) You can also copy the installer from the CD to your sys-
tem’s hard drive or a USB memory device and launch it
from there. We recommend that you do this.
Double-click the copied installer to launch it.
