9000NCP/NCP2 VistaLINK™ Network Control Panel
1. OVERVIEW
The 1RU 9000NCP and 2RU 9000NCP2 VistaLINK™ Network Control Panels (NCPs) are low-powered,
rack mounted control panel interfaces to VistaLINK™-enabled frames and modules, allowing for real-time
selection and configuration control of enabled parameters.
Both NCP units connect to the network via Ethernet, communicating via Simple Network Management
Protocol (SNMP). In its simplest network configuration, either NCP can be directly connected to a single
frame via the frame controller using a cross-over network cable. In advanced systems, multiple NCPs can
be connected within the same network, each capable of configuring all addressable parameters in every
networked frame, or limited to a certain, user-defined set of frames, cards or parameters. With Evertz’s
VistaLINK™ PRO server running on the same network, NCP units are further enabled with custom labels,
preset quick-access configuration buttons and masking/privilege control.

9000NCP/NCP2 VistaLINK™ Network Control Panel
2. INSTALLATION
2.1. CONNECTING THE NETWORK CONTROL PANEL
There are two network connection options available for all NCP panels:
1. Using a straight-thru, Cat5 cable, connect one end to the RJ45 port on the rear of the NCP, and
the other to a network switch or hub. This connection method is recommended if more than 2
network nodes (beyond the NCP and single frame) are anticipated on the same network.
2. Using a cross-over, Cat5 cable, connect one end to the RJ45 port on the rear of the NCP, and the
other end directly to the RJ-45 of the connector on the rear panel of the 7700FC Frame Controller.
This method is suggested only if one network connection will be used.
In either case, communication between the network panel and frame(s) is through Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP).
The SERIAL I/O 9 pin D connector (COM1) at the rear of the NCP is for upgrades. COM2 port is currently
not available.
2.2. POWER SUPPLY
LINE: Both 9000NCP and 9000NCP2 Network Control Panels have one universal power supply that
operates on either 115 Volt / 60 Hz or 230 Volt / 50 Hz AC.
2.3. MOUNTING
VistaLINK™ Network Control Panels are equipped with rack mounting brackets and fit into a standard 19
inch by 1 3/4 inch (483 mm x 45 mm) rack space. The mounting brackets may be removed if rack
mounting is not required.
2.4. UPGRADING NCP NETWORK CONTROL PANEL FIRMWARE
The 9000NCP and 9000NCP2 Network Control Panels share the same firmware. The latest version is
available on the Evertz website (in the “Downloads” section). Firmware is upgraded through the COM1
serial comm port of either unit using the following instructions:
• Connect PC containing 9000NCP and/or 9000NCP2 binary file to COM1 and enable terminal
emulation program (i.e. HyperTerminal)
• Set the terminal emulation parameter to: 57600 bits per second
8 data bits
no parity
2 stop bits
no flow control
• With the comm. port connected and running terminal emulation, apply power to the NCP unit and
upon boot-up, hit “CTRL-X” several times simultaneously to interrupt the boot-up process.
• Type “upgrade” at the prompt and <Enter>
• Select “Y” for yes to the upgrade question followed by <Enter>
• Send the binary file using the “X-modem” protocol option
• Upon completion, re-boot the NCP unit

remain “on”
4. When selected during regular operation, the Preset Button will flash for 5 seconds and the VFD will
show the quick-access parameter ready to be configured
Once a preset configuration has been attempted, but the selected button continues to flash, this
indicates corresponding hardware/frame could not be found by the NCP. Subsequently no
configuration through this selection is available. Attempt to run a single discovery cycle (see
section 6) from the NCP to locate the hardware/frame. If flashing persists, contact Evertz service
for further assistance.
4.1.7. Overview of SHIFT Push-Button

9000NCP/NCP2 VistaLINK™ Network Control Panel
6. 9000NCP AND 9000NCP2 CONFIGURAITON MENU
When power is applied to the unit, the 9000NCP provides a set-up menu with the following parameters.
Once IP addresses have been correctly added, verified and saved, it is suggested that the user perform a
“single” discovery cycle (see “Discovery” below) of the existing network to identify VistaLINK™-enabled
frames and cards.
<back> - conveniently located at the start and end of a menu stack, this menu item allows the user to
return to the previous menu for further configuration, if required.
Network setup – Set the IP address of the NCP unit, its subnet mask, gateway IP and Server IP(IP
address of VistaLINK™ PRO Server) and DHCP1. Once the Server IP address is set, a
connection is made between the NCP and VistaLINK™ PRO Server, with the Server providing
a full configuration update, including labels, masks and presets to that NCP unit. Once entered,
30 seconds are required for the changes to be stored in memory. Please do not power
cycle the unit until after the 30 second window is expired.
Configuration – If connected to a VistaLINK™ PRO server, this menu option lists all available
configurations that can be selected and applied through the NCP. If there is no server
connected, this menu option will not display any selectable options.
Service – If connected to a VistaLINK™ PRO server, this menu option lists all available services
accessed through the NCP or NCP2 unit. This is a convenient tool allowing the user to make
the menu selection through commonly used (user configured) service names instead of frames
and module identification. If there is no server connected, this menu option will not display any
selectable options.
Reboot – A menu option that allows the user a quick way to reboot the NCP/NCP2 unit without
unplugging the AC power source from the unit. Options are “yes” and “cancel”.
Discovery – This parameter controls the auto-discovery cycle for the NCP unit. Set-up durations include:
Off/Single/1 Minute/2 Minutes/5 Minutes/10/15/30/60 Minutes. Factory default discovery cycle
is set to 30 minutes. More frequent discovery cycles add to network traffic, therefore, it is
suggested that this NCP parameter is set to lower intervals for small networks and longer
intervals (or even “Off”) for larger networks. Once entered, 30 seconds are required for the
IP/DHCP changes to be stored in memory. Please do not power cycle the unit until after
the 30 second window is expired.
Manually added IP – Menu option to enable link to other frames that exist on other subnets and were not
detected through the Discovery process.
Remove IP – Menu option to remove frames from the available list.
Request update – A menu option that allows the user to refresh the NCP menu options based on a forced
discovery cycle.
1If running the NCP on a DHCP enabled network, set this parameter to “enable” for automatic IP address
assignment. If not, select “disable”. (Factory default set to “enable”.)

7. CONFIGURING NCP UNITS THROUGH VISTALINK™ PRO
The 9000NCP and 9000NCP2 control panels can also be configured through VistaLINK™ PRO as shown
below.
Configuration options are separated into tabs, with the following descriptions:
Quick Access Buttons – Provide the user a simple GUI showing all configurable panel buttons with
additional windows containing parameters, configurations and service which can then be
assigned to these buttons.
Masking – This menu option limits which frames and/or products are accessible to a particular NCP unit
from the available (discovered) list. This option is convenient for applications which only
require specific NCP configuration access control to specific areas or services.
Hardware Configurations – From the available, preset “configurations” as shown on the “Configurations”
branch of the network tree view, this menu option enables the NCP to select from an available
list, which is then displayed on “Quick Access Buttons” page in the configuration window.
Services – Menu option to add service quick access from a previously generated service definition. The
service is seen in the Service branch of the Navigation tree. If it is visible on this branch but is
not available on this tab, this means that the service itself contains elements that are not
configurable by this or any NCP unit.
Manually added IP – This menu option allows the user to add frame IP addresses from other equipment
on a different subnet mask that may have not been detected through the NCP’s discovery
cycle.
Server IP – This tab allows the user to link an NCP to a VistaLINK™ PRO server to share configuration
information. If this item has been set through the NCP itself, the set IP address will be
displayed in the specific field.
For further reference, screen shots with captions are provided on the subsequent pages.
