3 System Description The system description provides you with an overview of the CamLine system and the requirements for the correct operation of CamLine. Here you will find information on the operating conditions, safety and security information for operation, a description of the device, its interfaces and equipment connec- tions.
3 System Description 3.2 Hardware Description The CamLine unit is delivered with an interface for connection to external da- ta transmission devices. Front view CamLine Modem RS-232 The pin assignment of the modem communications interface is compatible Interface with the IBM PC standard. It is equipped with all required control lines through a 9 pin SUB-D plug and is reserved for the connection of a modem, ISDN-TA, GSM interface or a TCP/IP Alarm Adapter.

Auto-baud recognition allows a connection at 115200 Baud, even when CamLine is set to 230400 baud. Ensure the null mode cable is connected to both PC and CamLine before ap- ® plying power to the CamLine or starting the CamTel Windowssoftware.
Called party not available Rear View Control Interface All control inputs and outputs on the CamLine devices are realised in the form of easily accessible screw/clamp connections. The inputs are decoupled by means of capacitors to protect against faults and are connected to ground (pin 3).

(the relay breaks in the event of a power failure). Switch on In order to signal that CamLine is currently online, the relay switches on for connection the duration of the connection and switches off at the end of the connection.

The impedance of the video input is set 75 Ohm (on). Adjusting the video The picture quality should be checked at the receiver. The settings for bright- signal ness and contrast can be adjusted at the receiver for each camera. CamLine...
General Safety and Security Instructions Do not subject the device to strong vibrations or shocks. Avoid humid or dusty environments, extreme cold or heat and strong mag- netic fields. CamLine can be operated between 0°C and 55°C ambient temperature. Ensure adequate ventilation.
Local Baud Rates The local baud rate refers to the interface speeds of the serial interface be- tween the modem/TA and CamLine (not to the transmission rate on the trans- mission medium). In most cases, e.g. for the transmission over ISDN lines or for null modem con- nections directly to the PC, the setting 115200 baud is correct.

The ISDN terminal adapter must be set to the X.75 protocol. Echo must be off (ATEO). Using an MSN If your CamLine transmitter shares an ISDN line together with other data transmission equipment, a separate calling number (multiple subscriber num- ber) must be obtained and entered for each device.
If the modem cannot be pre-configured on a PC, the initialisation can also be entered in the transmitter settings of CamLine. CamLine sends this string to the modem every time the unit is switched on and every time the transmitter settings are changed.
ISDN. ISDN dedicated lines are available in various configura- tions, with or without D channel (data control channel) and with one or two B channels (data bearer channels). The terminal adapter ELSA Microlink TL pro can be adapted to any of these dedicated lines. CamLine...
