B. Control Panels
RP16 and RP32
RP16 and RP32
The RP16 (1RU panel) and the RP32 (2RU panel) are remote panel modules that sends “take” or
“lock” messages to a network of routers (and receives status messages from the routers in the net-
work). A remote panel module must have a Compact Router Series (CR Series) control panel
attached to be usable. When commands are executed on the attached control panel, the remote
panel module sends commands to the network of routers and receives status messages from the
routers. The remote panel modules — coupled with a 1RU or 2RU CR Series control panel — can
be used to control a network of mixed compact routers.
The panel module is “remote” because it and its control panel can be located apart from the routers
(from a few inches to several hundred meters, subject to cable limitations).
A stand-alone network allows up to 16 remote panel modules, up to 4 routers, and up to 4 levels. A
CRSC network allows up to 16 remote panel modules, up to 4 routers, up to 8 levels, and enhanced
capabilities. See
NVRP16 on page 333 or NVR2P32 on page 335 for information about using the
related configuration page.
Each remote panel can be attached to the following corresponding control panels:
• The RP16 — CP1616, CP1604, CP1602, CP3201 (16×16, 16×4, 16×2, with 6 function buttons).
• The RP32 — CP3232 and CP3204 (32×32, 32×4, with 12 function buttons).
These panel configurations are not implemented for the current release of NV9000-SE.
NV9640
The NV9640 is an X-Y/multi-destination control panel featuring 30 LCD buttons and a
42 character by 8 line display:
See NV9640 on page 301 for information about using the ‘NV9640’ configuration page.
This 2RU panel is organized as shown in the illustration above:
• Function buttons — an array of 30 LCD buttons.
The LCD buttons each have 3 lines of text (up to 8 characters per line). The buttons can display
one of eight colors dynamically: red, green, blue, purple, amber, yellow, grey (or white), or
‘none’. Green and amber are reserved (by the software) for sources and destinations. You can
assign any of the other colors (blue, grey, purple, red, yellow) to a button. You can also assign
‘default’ as a color which means the button acquires whatever color the system assigns to it,
typically green for a source and amber for a destination.
