Modes of Operation
Modes of Operation
The panel operates in either X-Y mode or multi-destination (MD) mode. A single button (XY/MD)
can toggle between the modes. A third mode
—
called “single-bus,” “single-destination,” or “but-
ton-per-source” mode
—
can be emulated in either X-Y mode or MD mode.
The primary modes of operation are:
• X-Y mode
—
individual control of all router
levels
. Choose a destination, optionally choose
desired breakaway levels, choose a source, and press ‘Take’ to complete a desired route.
• Multi-destination mode
—
lets you control multiple destinations. The LCD buttons display des-
tinations and sources. You can scroll through destination lists using the ‘Page Up’ and ‘Page
Down’ buttons. Select a destination using selection buttons, choose a source, and repeat for all
desired routes. Then press ‘Take’. Takes are “all level,” and breakaways cannot be performed.
S
The alphanumeric display scrolls independently of the selection buttons. Use the fixed up/
down buttons to scroll the display.
S
The ‘Hold’ button allows you to select many MD destinations at once.
• Single-destination mode.
Single-destination” mode is not a distinct mode, but we mention it because it is a mode on some
other panels and can be simulated on the NV9642. It can be combined with the other two
modes. You can create many different forms of “single-destination” mode. This mode may in
fact have more than a single destination.
To understand single-destination mode, you must understand the different button types. Please
read the Configuration and Operation chapters and then see
The secondary modes of panel operation are:
• Setup mode
—
where the NV9642 is freshly powered up, but disconnected from the network. In
this mode, you can preset the NV9642’s panel ID and perform a few diagnostic tasks.
• Salvo mode
—
pressing a Salvo button (and then the ‘Take’ button) executes a salvo. (The dura-
tion of a salvo is indeterminate.)
• Menu mode
—
pressing a Menu button places the NV9642 in “menu” mode. In menu mode, the
LCD button array becomes a menu that changes as needed during menu operation.
Other modes of operation are:
• Hold mode
—
when you press the ‘Hold’ button, hold mode becomes active and when you press
it again, hold mode becomes inactive. See
• Save preset mode
—
when you press the ‘Save Preset’ button, ‘Save Preset’ mode becomes
active and when you press it again, ‘Save Preset’ mode becomes inactive. See
