NV9000-SE Utilities
NV9000-SE Utilities (SE, for short) is the “next generation
configuration tool” to be used with NV9000 routing control
systems.
You can use it, connected to the NV915 control system, to cre-
ate and upload configurations. You can use it, detached from
the NV915, to create configuration files.
SE is designed to model, as closely as possible, the user’s tasks
and facility structure. It leads the user through the process of
configuring a router control system.
SE fits in the NV915 scheme like this:

Installation
To prepare the NV915 Router Control System for use, you
must take these two steps:
•
Install the NV915 hardware.
•
Install the NV9000-SE Utilities software on a PC.
To run the NV9000-SE Utilities, you will need a PC that
supports Java 1.5 or later.
Installing the NV915
Perform the steps that follow to install the NV915.
Rack Mounting
S
Because the NV915 is small, you might not have enough
space to reach behind it to make connections. In that case,
leave this step until last.
Place the NV915 in the rack where you want it, aligning the
screw holes with holes in your rack frame. Secure the router
using your screws, nuts, and washers.
The mounting holes are spaced 1.25
″
(31mm) vertically and
allow approximately 1/8
″
(3mm) of play horizontally.
Ethernet Cable
Connect an Ethernet cable (RJ-45) to the “NVISION Net”
port. (See Figure 2.) Connect the other end of that cable to an
Ethernet switch. Connect your routers and control panels to
the Ethernet switch.
Connect an Ethernet cable to the “Config” port. Connect the
