• Two Ethernet ports, one for routers and panels, and the
other for configuration.
• Two USB ports, a COM port and a monitor port.
• Flash-based storage.
• Support for up to 32 NV96xx control panels.

NV9000-SE Utilities
NV9000-SE Utilities (NV9000-SE Utilities, for short) is the
“next generation configuration tool” to be used with NV9000
routing control systems.
You can use it, connected to the NV915 system controller, to
create and upload configurations. You can use it, detached
from the NV915, to create configuration files.
NV9000-SE Utilities is designed to model, as closely as possi-
ble, the user’s tasks and facility structure. It leads the user
through the process of configuring a router control system.
NV9000-SE Utilities fits in the NV9000 scheme like this:

Installation
To prepare the NV915 system controller for use, you must take
these two steps:
• Install the NV915 hardware.
• Install the NV9000-SE Utilities software on a PC.
To run the NV9000-SE Utilities, you will need a PC that
supports Java 1.5 or later.
Installing the NV915
Perform the steps that follow to install the NV915.
Rack Mounting
S Because the NV915 is small, you might not have enough space to
reach behind it to make connections. In that case, leave this step
until last.
Place the NV915 in the rack where you want it, aligning the
screw holes with holes in your rack frame. Secure the router
using your screws, nuts, and washers.
The mounting holes are spaced 1.25″ (31mm) vertically and
allow approximately 1/8″ (3mm) of play horizontally.
