Initialization
Before your system controller can communicate with an NV9641A, you must give it a panel ID.
Follow these steps for each NV9641A you are installing:
1 Power up the NV9641A. Do not connect its Ethernet cable (or disconnect it if it is connected).
After a few seconds, the alphanumeric display will show ‘Acquire IP Address’ and show the
panel’s current panel ID. The 2 left-most buttons and the right-most button in the top row
now read:
2 Press that button to enter the menu. The button now displays “EXIT.” At any time during this
process, you can press the exit button to “back out of” the process. You might have to press
it more than once.
3 Find ‘Panel ID Entry’ among the 4 panel buttons on the left that have become green. Press it.
The ‘Panel ID’ button shows the current panel ID — in this example, it is 470.
4 The panel now illuminates (in green) 10 “digit” buttons. Press the digits of your intended
panel ID in order — up to 8 digits. Then press ‘Save’ (on the right) to save the ID or ‘Cancel’ to
discard the ID.
The new panel ID does not appear until you exit the menu after saving.
5 You may use any other menu function at this time. When you are finished, press the exit but-
ton to leave the menu.
6 After you designate the panel ID, reconnect the Ethernet cable. The system controller will
detect your panel in a few seconds. (All panel IDs must be unique.)
You can now prepare an NV9641A configuration in NV9000-SE Utilities and upload the configu-
ration to the NV9641A. You will need a panel ID to create a NV9641A configuration. When you
upload the configuration, the panel ID you entered in NV9000-SE Utilities designates the actual
panel. If no actual panel has that ID, the upload cannot occur.
