Before you start
Before you can take control of a device with the keypad,
you first need to tell the keypad which devices to control.
Every device added to the keypad must have a unique

decoder/encoder, monitor, and camera that you want to
control.
You enter the ID of the recorder or decoder (DEV), then
that of the monitor (MON), and then that of the camera or

control.

that they are categorized by recorder/decoder (DEV),
monitor (MON), and camera (CAM) (and camera groups
