5 In the ‘Router Connection Info’ section, enter either Ethernet or serial connection data, depend-
ing on the protocol selected:
• For Ethernet, enter the ‘IP Address’ for the ‘Primary Control Point’ and the ‘Secondary
Control Point’ (if applicable) in the fields provided ( Figure 7-3 ). Control points are ports on
the NV9000 system controller. For more information on control points, see Managing
Control Points on page 96.
Protocol If using a Miranda router, from the drop-down list, select whether the router is using
an Ethernet or serial protocol to communicate with NV9000-SE. For a list of
protocols, see
Protocols on page 515.
Note: If the router is an NV5128 Multi-Format Router, choose ‘NV Ethernet’ or
‘NV Serial Private’. ‘NV Serial Public’ is a simplified protocol for third-party
drivers or for legacy Miranda routers.
Primary Control
Port Control ports (also called control points) are serial or Ethernet ports in the NV9000
system controller through which routers, panels and other devices are connected.
The serial port settings differ depending on which protocol you have selected. The
Miranda router standard is 38.4 K baud, 8 data bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit. Some
protocols do not have a secondary control point. For more information on control
points, see Managing Control Points on page 96.
Important: Leave the control ports field set to ‘-New-’. Control ports are specified
in the ‘Router Details’ page.
The coded control points in the drop-down menus begin with “E” for an Ethernet
control point and “S” for a serial control point.
