Page 7: How To Use The I/O Receptacle
IO Terminal Board User Information How to use the I/O Receptacle Insert a small flat-head screwdriver into the slot above the hole you want to connect. Hold the screwdriver in place and insert the wire, then release the screwdriver. See illustration below. -
Page 8: Operation Examples
Vess A2000 NVR Storage Appliance Promise Technologies Operation Examples Below are examples of how to connect and check the status for devices used with the I/O terminal board. Sensor Input Connection The illustration below is used as an example. In this example a motion sensing camera is connected. • Connect the SENSOR_IN + on the Vess I/O terminal interface with an external camera Alarm Out + (Red wire in illustration) • Connect the SENSOR_IN - on the Vess I/O terminal interface with an external camera... -
Page 9: Check Sensor Input Status In Cli
IO Terminal Board User Information Check Sensor Input Status in CLI To check the status for the device that issues a warning to the terminal board. Follow these steps: 1. Open the CLI interface, type <enclosure –v> the sensor status displays. 2. The Sensor Status displayed is dependant on the input pair that is used on the Sensor Input interface. For example, the Input 4 pair (IN_4+ and IN_4-) displays Sensor Status 247. Use the value to calculate which pair is connected to a camera or alarm. -
Page 10: Alarm Output Connection
Vess A2000 NVR Storage Appliance Promise Technologies Alarm Output Connection The illustration below is used as an example. The example used is an alarm. • Connect the ALARM_OUT + on the I/O terminal interface to the 3.3V or 5V connection on the external alarm device (Blue wire in illustration) • Connect the ALARM_OUT - on the I/O terminal interface to the Input + connection on the external alarm device (Red wire in illustration) -
Page 11: Enable Sensor Output In Cli
IO Terminal Board User Information Enable sensor output in CLI To enable the alarm connected to the sensor device, that is, to enable the ability of the terminal board send a signal to the alarm when the sensor device is triggered, follow these steps: 1. Open the CLI interface, type <enclosure –a mod –s “alarmstatus=1”> 2. To check the Alarm Status, type <enclosure -v> Change the Alarm Status to enable or disable the connected external alarm device. -
Page 12: Disable Alarm Device
Vess A2000 NVR Storage Appliance Promise Technologies Disable Alarm Device To disable the alarm device: Open CLI and type <enclosure –a mod –s “alarmstatus=0”> Type <enclosure –v> and it will displays the alarmstatus. - Page 13 IO Terminal Board User Information Connecting an Analog Cameras with RS-232/422/485 ports These are important points to keep in mind when using or connecting and using analog cameras. • Only one connector can be used at one time: RS-232C, RS-422, or RS-485 • For pan, tilt and zoom operations, connect a camera control cable to RS-232 connector or the RS-422/485 connector (four rightmost pins on the alarm output connector).

Page 14: Configure Connection In Cli
Vess A2000 NVR Storage Appliance Promise Technologies Configure connection in CLI Configure RS-232 (Port 2) Choosing this option enables the RS-232 port and disables the RS-422/485 port on the terminal board. Open CLI and type <enclosure –a mod –s “uartstaus=0”> Type <enclosure –v> and it will displays the UartStatus. Configure RS-422/485 (I/O Terminal Board) Choosing this option enables the RS-422/485 port on the terminal board and disables the RS-232 port. - Page 15 IO Terminal Board User Information Illustrated Connection -Vess A2200 Illustrated Connection - Vess A2600...
