Canon BU 45 Camera Control System User's Manual
Locating the Device Server DS-4
The Device Server DS-4 must be located so that it can be reached by the serial cables
(with a maximum length of approximately 50 feet) that are used to connect the cameras
to the DS-4.
Consult the documentation that accompanies the Telemetrics Device Server
DS-4 and the Canon BU 45 Weatherproof Camera for additional information
concerning locating and connecting these products.
Hubs or Switches
If more than one DS-4 Device Server is used, if more than one RCP is used, or if the
cameras are installed at different locations, the RCP is linked to Device Server DS-4
units by means of a hub or switch (Figure 7).
