CHAPTER 1 Overview 1.1 Product The SmartSight™ 1000 is a professional video transmission product designed for the CCTV (Closed Circuit Television) market. It offers a secure (encrypted using a Wired Equivalent Privacy algorithm) signal 100 times more robust to interference than conventional AM/FM analog systems.
CHAPTER 2 S1000 system setup guide The S1000 is to be professionally installed. The guidelines in the following subsections will assist the installer in cabling and installing the Microflex. 2.1 External module description The S1000 (Transmitter) is labeled “Tx” and the S1000 (Receiver) is labeled “Rx”. Status indicator St atu s Auxiliary connector...
CHAPTER 3 S1000 System Configuration and Installation 3.1 S1000 system configuration Your S1000 system is configured to operate right out of the box with the most popular dome data port configurations (4800 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit). For added security, we recommend you change the SSID to your own secret SSID and activate the WEP encryption and change the WEP key to your secret WEP key before installing the system.
1) LED not lit: Check the power supply and cabling, if power is available and the LED stays off, call SmartSight technical support to obtain an RMA authorization. 2) Steady RED LED: There is an internal module error that prevents the unit from SmartSight 1000 User Manual / Rev 0.33...
Power down and power back-up the module once. If the condition persists proceed to a firmware upload (see CHAPTER 6) and if this fails or the condition persists after the new upload, call SmartSight technical support to obtain an RMA authorization. ____________________________________________________________________________ Tx After Power-up: Flashing Green (steady rate) if not communicating with another module.

Signal GND BLACK • Carefully align the S1000-TX and RX modules so that both antennas are in good line-of-sight alignment. • Upon power up, verify that the STATUS LED turns STEADY or FLASHING GREEN. SmartSight 1000 User Manual / Rev 0.33...
____________________________________________________________________________ The S1000 must always be installed with the black bayonet connector pointing downwards. Failure to install the module properly can cause moisture to penetrate the module and may void the warranty. ____________________________________________________________________________ Figure 2 Example of a pole mount installation STEP 3 Installing the optional S1000-PA high gain antenna •...
• Assign a unique SSID for each system (use any 4-32 characters for this ID). The default SSID of each S1000 shipped is ‘SMARTSIGHT’. • Assign channel 1 to one system, channel 6 to the second system and channel 11 to the last system.
• Assign a unique SSID for each system (use any 4-32 characters for this ID). The default SSID of each S1000 shipped is ‘SMARTSIGHT’. • Assign two pairs of S1000-TX and RX modules on the same channel as shown in...
Here is the procedure to use: • Assign a unique SSID for each system (use any 4-32 characters for this ID). The default SSID of each S1000 shipped is ‘SMARTSIGHT’. • Assign each system with a separate channel as shown in the table presented in section 4.1.2 above.
“radio line-of-sight” won’t. In such case, the signal will be partially absorbed and diffracted. Increasing the height of the two antennas or the gain of the antennas, are the only alternatives to improve the link quality.

___________________________________________________________________ 4.2.2 Evaluation of antenna requirements SmartSight offers two type of antennas to meet various distance requirements of clients, the integrated 8.5 dBi patch antenna or an external 16 dBi gain patch antenna (option S1000-PA). These can be combined together to offer the...
In order to comply with the RF exposure requirements of CFR47 1.1310, the S1000 must be installed in such a way as to allow a minimum separation distance of 10 cm (4 in.) between antennas and persons nearby. SmartSight 1000 User Manual / Rev 0.33...
CHAPTER 5 Using the Command Line Interface to program the S1000 This chapter guides you through a step by step procedure to program your S1000 modules. Programming the S1000 does not require the installation of any software on your computer. All you will need is a terminal emulation program such as Hyper Terminal supplied with all Windows or Macintosh operating systems.
Double click on HYPER TERMINAL to start. You should see a window as the one in ‘ Figure 7’. Enter ‘COM_1’ (or any other name such as S1000) in the name field. Click OK. Click CANCEL. SmartSight 1000 User Manual / Rev 0.33...
Figure 7 Hyper Terminal startup screen 5.2.2 Configuring Hyper Terminal Before using Hyper Terminal you will have to set the computer serial port parameters. Click on FILE/PROPERTIES. In ”CONNECT USING” box: select COM1 (unless you are using a different COM port) Click on CONFIGURE.
____________________________________________________________________________ 5.3 S1000 CLI 5.3.1 Starting the CLI Now that Hyper Terminal is started, you have to start the SmartSight 1000 CLI. On the keyboard Press ‘Ctrl-Break’ simultaneously, wait 1 second and then press the ‘Space’ bar. The SmartSight 1000 CLI menu should appear as seen in ’Figure 9’...
Figure 9 CLI start up screen 5.3.2 Using the CLI In the CLI menu, enter <1>, <2> or <3> at the command line to enter the Serial Port, RF Communications or Video Settings. All entries must be followed by <ENTER> to take effect.
This option is used to configure the channel (frequency) that will be used by the SmartSight™ 1000 Units (Tx / Rx). A set of 11 channels are available. Co-located systems should always be set on different channels unless two systems are set-up to share a channel (refer to CHAPTER 4 for a more in-depth explanation).
12345 VIDEO SECUr $$$$$ _WEP* 5.5.5 WEP Encryption activation This option enables or disables encryption. If the WEP encryption is disabled, the system will still offer some level of protection through the unique SSID entered. SSID is not a technique of encryption, a hacker with a computer and a wireless 802.11b compliant card could receive and decode the video being received if encryption is not enabled.
CHAPTER 6 Upgrading the S1000 firmware This chapter provides information on using the SmartSight Management Interface (SMI) to upgrade your S1000 firmware. The SMI is a user friendly and easy-to-use graphical interface running on all Windows compatible PCs. Install the SMI program supplied with the S1000 system on your computer and then follow the steps below to use the SMI program.
Figure 11 Screen shot before a firmware upload STEP 2. If you are not using your computer’s COM1 serial port (the default port used by the SMI program after installation), you will have to select the correct serial port number on your computer by choosing the <Options>, <Serial port setup>...
