The Remote Panel Modules
Like the routers, the remote panel modules are slim (35 mm or 1.38 ″). Except that they have no I/O
connectors and no video reference connectors, remote panel modules are virtually the same size
and shape as the routers.
Figures 12-27 through 12-30 show front and rear views of the remote panel modules:

A remote panel module must have a Compact Router Series control panel attached to be usable.
The remote panel module can be set up for operation under the Compact Router Series or NV9000.
Under the Compact Router Series, when you execute operations on the attached control panel, the
remote panel module sends commands to the network of routers and receives status messages from
the routers. The attached control panel shows router status on its buttons.
Under NV9000, when you execute operations on the attached control panel, the remote panel mod-
ule sends commands to the NV9000 and receives status messages from the NV9000 which commu-
nicates with the routers. The attached control panel shows router status on its buttons.
A stand-alone network allows up to 16 remote panel modules, up to 4 routers, and up to 4 levels.
A Compact Router Series network allows up to 16 remote panel modules, up to 4 routers, up to 8
levels, and enhanced capabilities.
An NV9000 network allows an indefinite number of remote panels, routers, and levels. The limita-
tions are the number of IP addresses in your network and of course the throughput of the network.
A network requires one or more customer-supplied Ethernet switches.
