Virtual Control Panels

Installation

You will find the virtual panel installation programs on the NV9000 Virtual Panels Installation

disk (SB0217-06) you received from Miranda. Load the CD in your CD drive and navigate to the

installation program for the virtual panel of your choice. You can install any or all virtual panels.

Choose the Macintosh folder (for Macintosh installation). The Macintosh installation program

has a .zip extension. Each installation program installs one virtual panel. All 12 installation

programs are the same except for the name of the control panel.

S Your computer need not be connected to a router control system when you run the installa-

tion program(s).

First, select one or more of the installation .zip files and copy the .zip files to a folder on your

Macintosh. To install a virtual panel, double-click its .zip file on the Macintosh. As the .zip file

unpacks, you will see a progress indicator. The process should take about a second.

When the .zip file is unpacked, the installation is complete.

The recommended installed pathname for any of the virtual panels is

‹hd› / Applications / NVISION / panelname

The installer also places an initialization file (panelname

.ini) in the same location.

Initial Setup

At some time after you install the virtual panel, and before it becomes operational, you must

perform a brief setup. The setup (1) identifies the router control system’s primary controller (or a

redundant system’s virtual IP address) and (2) selects a configuration for the virtual panel.

S Your computer must be connected to your router control system.

S You can use NV9000-SE Utilities to review existing panel configurations. (These are labelled

HW Panels.) If you have no configuration of the type required for a virtual panel, you will

have to create one.

Follow these steps to perform the setup:

1 Launch the virtual panel.

Either double-click the application directly or double-click its program icon. (Or choose the

program from the Macintosh docking bar.) The panel will appear after several seconds and it

will appear black with dark gray buttons.

S If a panel does not appear, or the panel is minimized, take the corrective steps outlined

under Upgrading Old Virtual Panels
