NV9000 Control System

and Accessories

Product Summary

Your Miranda shipment contains a system controller, a rack-
mounting rail kit, power cords, and this Quick Start guide. 
Depending on you order options, the shipment might also 
include cables and peripheral devices. See Figure 1. 
An NV9000 Control System allows you to configure and oper-
ate routers, control panels, and other connected equipment. 
An NV9000 Control System includes several parts that work 
together:

NV9000 system controller.

NV9000-SE Utilities configuration software.

PCs running configuration or control software.

Routers.

Control panels (physical or virtual).

Optionally, master control components.

Optionally, automation, UMD, and other subsystems.

System Controllers

The system controller is a device that (1) receives commands 
from control panel operators or from third-party systems, (2) 
dispatches instructions to routers, and (3) returns status 
information to the control panels or to automation. A system 
controller can be a stand-alone unit (an ES9060). The ES9065 
comprises two controllers that are paired to make a redun-
dant system. See 

System Controller Redundancy

 on page 2. (The 

ES9067 is the same as the ES9065 but adds an NV9700 panel.)
Located at the rear of the system controller are six Ethernet 
ports. See Figure 2.

Control Net

Provides communication between two system controllers 
being used as a redundant pair.

House Net

Allows the system controller to communicate with your 
facility’s computer network and with PCs running 
NV9000-SE Utilities, GUIs, and other software. 

Panel and Router Nets 1 and 2

Connect to routers and control panels. Any command ini-
tiated by an operator through a control panel is sent to the 
system controller, which interprets the command, and 
then sends appropriate instructions (such as “take”) to the 
appropriate router(s).

NV9000 System Net

Connects to other NV9000 systems. 

Master Control Net

Allows the system controller to communicate with a mas-
ter control subsystem.

The front of the system controller features a removable perfo-
rated plate. Located behind the plate, in the middle and close 
together, are two LEDs and two small buttons. Each performs 
a function, as follows:

This QuickStart Guide

The purpose of this document is to guide you through the 
physical installation of the system controller, the installation 
of configuration software, and the initial setup of the soft-
ware so that you can build configurations and read from and 
write to your system controller(s).
NV9000-SE Utilities is the primary tool for configuration.
