Nexus Configuration Guide
In the Joystick settings, the Mode parameter, when set to FOV Dependant, allows a pan/tilt
camera to adjust the pan speed automatically, depending on the current field of view (FOV). For
a narrow FOV, the camera moves more slowly. If you do not want to limit the pan speed
according to the FOV, set the parameter to Absolute.
The Pilot Mode parameter controls the direction of tilt when the joystick is moved forward or
backward. When Pilot Mode is set to yes, the camera points downward when the joystick is
moved forward, similar to the way an aircraft would move. If the mode is set to no, the joystick
operates as one would expect with a video game controller.
The parameters in the Advanced Settings are related to Scan Lists and the AutoPan feature.
Refer to section 4.6.2 "Preset Map File" and section 4.6.3 "AutoPan Function" below for more
information about these features.
If any of the parameters for Device ID 1 are changed, click Save to save the changes. Generally
most of the other Serial Remote parameters do not need to be changed (for Device ID 1 and
Device ID 2, it is ok if the Enabled parameter is set to no).
If the Bosch protocol is to be used instead, select Device ID 2 and wait for the page to refresh,
and then configure the Remote Port Settings such as Speed (baud rate), Data Bits, Parity and
Stop Bits. Select the appropriate Hardware Protocol (RS-422 or RS-232), and set the Address
parameter to the appropriate Bosch address. If necessary, click Save to save the changes.

Serial Extensions
In addition to the set of standard commands that would be used on an ordinary CCTV camera,
control commands that allow access to more advanced features, or features that are specific
to a particular type of equipment, are available through extensions to the serial protocol. These
extended commands are quite useful when controlling features that are specific to FLIR thermal
cameras.
In the Pelco D protocol, these additional functions can be accessed using the Aux On and Aux
Off extensions and are available by default. Many keyboards that support Pelco protocols have
Aux On and Aux Off buttons for selecting these functions. As an example, the following functions
are typically supported by default.
