Introduction

Function Buttons

Ethernet (RJ-45)

GPIO (DB25)

Power

Serial (RS-422)

The NV9606 is a 1RU control panel. It has 68 backlit function buttons:

The NV9606 can operate either by itself as a stand-alone panel or as a extension of an NV9607 control panel.

When the panel is stand-alone, the function buttons are limited: an operator can select sources and destinations or execute salvos. When the panel is used as an NV9607 extension, the set of functions is approximately that of the NV9607. As an extension to an NV9607, it can operate in any of the 4 modes configured for that particular NV9607. See Modes of Operation

The sets of functions differ in the different operating modes.

At the rear of the panel are power, serial control, Ethernet, and GPIO connectors:

, following.

You connect the NV9606 to the NV9000 system using the Ethernet connector.

The serial port is for local diagnostics, as it is for all control panels.

The NV9606 uses external PS0001 power supplies. One will suffice. Two provide redundancy.

The GPIO connector supports the panel’s GPIO functions: 4 outputs and 8 inputs.

Function Buttons

The NV9606 has 2 rows of 34 function buttons. The total is 68 function buttons. The set of

, following.)

buttons differ in each of the 4 operating modes. (See Modes of Operation

Physical source buttons represent one of two sets of sources. Physical destination buttons (if present) represent one of two sets of destinations. The panel can be configured with a ‘Source Shift’ button that toggles between the two source pages and a ‘Destination Shift’ button that toggles between the two destination pages.

Each button has three operational levels: high and low tally (green or amber), and off. (Their material is actually white or light gray.)

The function buttons each have clear plastic keycaps under which you may place plastic inserts for button legends. It is a simple matter to change button legends.

Introduction

Tally Interface

At the rear of the panel is a DB25 connector that provides 8 tally inputs and 4 tally outputs. (The outputs are solid state relay outputs.) Both inputs and outputs are optically isolated.

During configuration, you can construct Boolean logic that switches the outputs on or off. The terms of the logic expressions are states of the source and destination devices, etc., controlled by the NV9000 control system.

During configuration, you can prescribe NV9606 behavior that depends on the tally inputs.

What you connect to the tally interface is, of course, up to you. Miranda provides a breakout cable (WC0053) that can be used with the tally connector, as a purchase option.

The tally interface is also called a GPIO interface. On the rear of the panel, it is labelled a “GPI interface.”

Modes of Operation

By itself, the NV9606 operates in a very limited X-Y mode.

As an NV9607 extension, the NV9606 can operate in any of the modes configured for the NV9607.

• Limited X-Y Mode.

• Single-Destination Mode.

• Single-Destination Mode with Breakaway.

• Multi-Destination Mode.

The panel’s set of button functions varies with the mode.

The modes (or behavioral models) are determined at configuration for both the NV9606 and the NV9607. The operator cannot switch between different modes.

Limited X-Y Mode

In limited X-Y mode, takes occur from a single source to a single destination (selectable).

Pressing a source button completes a take unless the corresponding NV9607 has a ‘Source Preview’ button and it is active (high-tally).

Breakaway is possible in this mode if the panel has level buttons. Level buttons selected the levels on which the take is to occur. Takes occur on all levels when either no levels are selected or when all levels are selected.

Single-Destination Mode

In single destination mode, the panel’s destination is configured as the default destination and there are no destination buttons.

Pressing a source button completes a take unless the corresponding NV9607 has a ‘Source Preview’ button and it is active (high-tally).

Takes are all-level.

1. The NV9606V (virtual panel) has automatically generated button legends. For instance, a source button’s legend is the source name. Depending on the operating mode, the source button might have up to 3 lines of text: a source from page 1, a source from page 2, and a destination.

NV9606

User’s Guide

Single-Destination Mode with Breakaway

In this mode too, the single destination is configured as the default destination. There are no destination buttons.

Pressing a source button completes a take unless the corresponding NV9607 has a ‘Source Preview’ button and it is active (high-tally).

Multi-Destination Mode

In this mode, source buttons are configured with destinations as well as sources. Thus, each source button completes a route to an individual destination. If each button had a different destination, it would be possible to route to 116 destinations. The typical configuration would have fewer destinations.

Pressing a source button completes a take unless the corresponding NV9607 has a ‘Source Preview’ button and it is active (high-tally).

Takes are all-level.

Secondary Modes

The NV9606 of itself has no secondary modes.

The NV9606 has a limited self-test capability, but no setup mode in which to change its panel ID. To change the panel ID, you must use NV9000-SE Utilities.

Other NV9606 Functions

By itself, the NV9606 can be configured to perform two additional functions:

• System salvos.

As an NV9607 extension, the NV9606 can be configured to perform the following additional functions:

• System salvos.

• Broadcast data routing.

Installation

Follow these steps to install a NV9606 control panel:

1 Mount, and secure, the panel in the rack.

The NV9606 is designed to mount in a 19” rack. Rack-mounting is not a requirement.

You can also connect the panel using a serial protocol and a serial cable connected at the panel’s DE9 port. The connection is RS-422. The system controller will require a serial port.

Installing Software and Documentation

(Then NV960 has several options for a serial card and breakout box for such a connection.) Refer to the NV9000-SE Utilities User’s Guide for serial configuration options. Contact Miranda regarding serial interface options.

2 Connect one or both power supplies. First connect the 4-pin connector to PS1 or PS2 on the

rear of the router. The connectors are keyed and snap into place. There is only one way they fit. Do not force them. Then connect the power supply to AC power.

A second power connection is for redundancy only (protection against failure) and is not a requirement for operation.

Refer to Power Specifications

on page 45 for details on the PS0001 power supply. See also

on page 50.

Installing Software and Documentation

This document is available through the Miranda web site.

You must use NV9000-SE Utilities to configure the NV9606 control panel. Contact Miranda if you need to obtain the latest version of this NV9000 configuration software.

You may use the Panel IP Configuration Utility if you want to your NV9606 to have a static IP address (with respect to the system controller) or to use DHCP. The panel, as it comes from the factory, defaults to DHCP.

Initialization

Your NV9606 will go through a brief initialization sequence as it starts up.

If your panel has been configured and has a panel ID, it will reach its operating state in a few seconds. The panel will exhibit a moving pattern of green button illumination as it starts up. If the panel ID is wrong (or has never been set), the two buttons at the top left will light:

Otherwise, if all is well, the panel buttons will illuminate as they have been configured.

If there are errors, certain buttons will turn red, indicating a panel error. These are the potential panel errors:

Error Solution

The panel is disconnected from the system controller. (The lower left button is red.)

The panel has a panel ID already assigned to another panel. (The two top left buttons are red.)

Make sure that the panel is connected to an Ethernet switch that supports 10baseT and that the Ethernet switch is connected to the system controller’s panel and router net.

Set the panel ID in NV9000-SE Utilities.

You can now prepare an NV9606 configuration in NV9000-SE Utilities and upload the configura-

Panel Error

Message

tion to the NV9606. You need a panel ID to create a NV9606 configuration. When you upload the configuration, the panel ID you entered in NV9000-SE Utilities designates the actual panel to which the upload will occur. If no actual panel has that ID, the upload cannot occur.

Setting the Panel ID

 It is not possible to set the panel ID of an NV9606 at the panel itself. You must use NV9000-SE

Utilities to set the panel ID.

Follow these steps to set the panel ID.

1 If you have more than one NV9606 to set up, choose one of them.

2 Apply power to the panel. Connect one panel to the appropriate panel/router network of

your system controller.

3 In NV9000-SE Utilities, click ‘System Management’ in the navigation pane. Click the “+” sign

next to the icon for the applicable system in the ‘System management’ tree at the left. Doing that expands the information “tree” associated with the system. Then click the ‘Control Panels ...’ entry in the tree.

The control panels page appears:

NV9606

User’s Guide

4 Observe the ‘Panel Network Errors’ list in that window. You should see a network error mes-

sage for the NV9606 you have connected.

This example shows a panel ID of 0. Usually, NV9606 panels from the factory have an ID of 0.

Installation

Testing

5 Right-click that list entry. You will get a ‘Change ID’ message allowing you to change the

panel ID:

6 Click ‘Change ID’. A window appears in which you can enter a new panel ID:

7 Change the panel ID to a suitable value. Make a note of the value.

8 Now click ‘Configuration’ in the navigation pane. Under ‘Configuration’, choose ‘Control Pan-

els’.

9 Click ‘Add Control Panel’ in the ‘Control Panels’ page to create an NV9606 control panel con-

figuration. It is important to give it the panel ID you just assigned to the NV9606. You do not have to complete the configuration at this time.

10 Return to the ‘System Management’ page for your system. Click ‘Write Configuration ...’ to

write the updated configuration to the NV9000. The NV9000 software will now include a panel configuration for, and an panel ID for, the NV9606.

If you view the system’s control panel page, the ‘Current Panel Status’ list shows the panel you just added.

Testing

11 Repeat steps 2 through 10 for any additional NV9606s.

 You must set the panel ID of only one NV9606 at a time. If you connect multiple NV9606s

(that do not have proper panel IDs) to the system controller, it cannot determine to which NV9606 you want to assign a panel ID.

 You can also right-click the panel entry in the ‘Current Panels’ list (under System Manage-

ment) if you want to change its ID again. If you change its ID, you will have to create another panel configuration with that panel ID. The easiest way to do that is to create a copy of the old configuration that has the new panel ID.

A panel test function is available when the NV9606 is disconnected from the system controller. Run the test to determine the health of your NV9606. See Self-Test also view the software version numbers under setup mode.

These are points to consider after you install your NV9606 control panel(s):

on page 38 for detail. You can

NV9606

User’s Guide

1 Do the buttons illuminate? When an NV9606 powers up, one or more of its buttons are sup-

posed to turn green or amber. Did it pass the panel test mentioned above?

2 When the NV9606 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 configuration exists for that panel and the buttons appropriate for its configuration should light.

If you continue to see “No Server,” “ACQUIRE IP ADDRESS,” or “Locating Network,” you have a problem. Reboot everything and try again.

 The NV9606, by default, acquires its IP address through DHCP on the system controller’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 in the ‘Preset’ display field, you have either not initialized the panel or no configuration has been created for your panel in NV9000-SE Utilities.

3 Is the system controller actually running? With the typical noise levels in a facility, it can

sometimes be difficult to tell. Use the ‘System’ pages of NV9000-SE Utilities to make the determination.

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 per-

form other operations?
