RS485 setup
The following procedure is to configure the RS485
setup when using the system controller to control the
camera (pan, tilt, etc.) via the camera's data port.
1. Display the setup menu (page 24), move the cursor
to COMMUNICATION O, and then press the CAM
(SET) button.
This will display the RS485 setup menu.
2. Check the unit number. (page 13)
The UNIT NUMBER item shows the unit number
specified by DIP Switch 1. The factory default unit
number is 1.
If DIP Switch 1 specifies 1 to 96 as the unit number,
move the cursor to UNIT NUMBER and then tilt the
joystick left or right to select a unit number (1 to 96).

3. Move the cursor to BAUD RATE, and then tilt the
joystick left or right to select a baud rate setting.
Tilting the joystick cycles through the baud rate
(transmission speed) display in the sequence
shown below. (unit: bits/s) The factory default
setting is 19200.
2400
4800
4. Move the cursor to DATA BIT, and then tilt the
joystick left or right to select a data bit setting (7 or
8).
The factory default setting is 8.
5. Move the cursor to PARITY CHECK, and then tilt the
joystick left or right to select a parity bit setting
(NONE, ODD, EVEN).
The factory default setting is NONE.
6. Move the cursor to STOP BIT, and then tilt the
joystick left or right to select a stop bit setting (1 or
2).
The factory default setting is 1.
7. Move the cursor to XON/XOFF, and then tilt the
joystick left or right to select an XON/XOFF setting.
The factory default setting is NOT USE.
NOT USE: Disables X ON/X OFF data flow control.
USE
: Enables X ON/X OFF data flow control.

8. Move the cursor to WAIT TIME, and then tilt the
joystick left or right to select a wait time setting.
The wait time is the time that the camera should
wait before resending data when no receive
acknowledgement (ACK) is returned after data is
sent.
Tilting the joystick cycles through the wait time
display in the sequence shown below. (unit: ms)
The factory default setting is OFF.
OFF ↔ 100MS ↔ 200MS ↔ 400MS ↔ 1000MS
9. Move the cursor to ALARM DATA, and then tilt the
joystick left or right to select an alarm data send
mode setting.
POLLING : Sends alarm data in response to a
request by the system controller.
AUTO1
: Sends alarm data each time an alarm
signal is input.
AUTO2
: Sends alarm data at five-second intervals.
This is the factory default setting.
10. Move the cursor to DELAY TIME, and then tilt the
joystick left or right to select a delay time setting.
The delay time is the time is the time the camera
should wait before sending a receive acknowledge
(ACK). The delay time display changes in the
sequence shown below. (unit: ms) The factory
default setting is OFF.
OFF ↔ 100MS
This setting can be configured only when 2-line
configuration is selected by DIP Switch 2. (page 12)
