About System Controllers
• NV9000 system controllers – 192.168.97.1 for the primary controller and 192.168.97.2 for a
secondary (redundant) controller.
• NV915 system controllers – 192.168.2.1 for the primary controller and 192.168.2.2 for the sec-
ondary controller.
The computer running NV9000-SE Utilities must be on the same subnet (255.255.255.0) and
have the same subnet mask (e.g., 192.168.97 for NV9000 system controllers). However, the last
number, the frame address, must be anything else but the number assigned to the system controller
(1 or 2). For example, the computer running NV9000-SE Utilities may have the IP address
192.168.97.24, but not 192.168.97.1 (or 192.168.97.2 if running a secondary, redundant system
controller).
IP addresses for the ports communicating with routers start at 192.168.1.5 (could vary slightly) to
192.168.1.40.
IP addresses for the ports communicating with control panels are divided into two pools of
addresses (DHCP is used to determine the address):
• Primary server pool — 192.168.1.41 through 192.168.1.150
• Redundant or secondary server pool — 192.168.1.151 through 192.168.1.254
Logs
The system controller maintains extensive logs of all system processes. These logs are used for
troubleshooting throughout the system. You can set a variety of logging “levels” as desired. Logs
are located in the
NVISION\envy\userlocal folder on the server’s C:\ or D:\ drive.
Descriptions of each logging level are listed below:
Important Do not use any other IP addresses. Other addresses are reserved for other
purposes.
No logging No error logging is performed.
Log errors Only critical system errors are logged (e.g., loss of a server).
Log warnings Only warnings and errors are logged, (e.g., loss of a backup control card).
Log system events This level of logging includes the two previous levels, plus system events (e.g., a
panel or a router dropping off line).
Log transactions This level includes the three previous levels, plus a record of all messages between
all system components (e.g., each time a panel sends a request).
Log all events All system activity is written to the logs.
Log debugging info Extensive information about errors. (Use this option only under Miranda direction.)
Log verbose
debugging info Use caution: it quickly fills the hard drive with data.(Use this option only under
Miranda direction.)
