Figure 5 – Layout of Switches 2.3 Setting Dome Camera Termination The device which is connected at end of line, whether it be a dome camera or keyboard controller, must have the cable for communication terminated by setting the appropriate DIP switch.
2.4 Fail-safe Network When you control the dome by the other device not own keyboard, some error may be existed in the serial communication. The reason is caused by the other device without the fail-safe network. At this time, you solve the problem to set this DIP switch to ON of the nearest dome from the other device only.
2.5 Setting Dome Camera Address (ID) To prevent damage, each dome camera must have a unique address (ID). When installing multiple dome cameras using a multiplexer, it is suggested that the dome camera address match the multiplexer port number. If you want to set the address more than 999, you should contact the service provider. Example: Port 1 = Dome 1, Port 2 = Dome 2 …...
