The video cable supplied with the Canon Communication Camera VC-C4/
VC-C4R, VC-C3 and VC-C1 MK II is compatible with the RCA pin-jack. To
connect these cameras to a BNC socket, use a third party Pin
conversion adapter. (
To connect a RS-232C cable to the VC-C4/VC-C4R, use the IN socket.
Though daisy-chain connections are possible under the VC-C4/VC-C4R
specifications, only one camera can be connected to each socket since a
VB101 does not support daisy-chain connections.

Using a PCMCIA Card
The VB101 has 2 card slots, and you can record Web page data, etc. by inserting a flash memory card into
one of these slots.

Flash memory card
Insert the flash memory
1
card into the VB101.
You can insert the card into either
slot. But if cards are inserted in both
slots, you cannot use both cards at the same time. Preparation is complete when the
LED on the front of the VB101 changes from green to orange.
Create the directories.
2
Create directories called "htdocs" and "logs", for web page data (hereafter referred to
as content) and log data respectively, on the flash memory card. You can create the
directories using ftp commands or by inserting the flash memory card into a notebook
PC and using file operations.
Save the content.
3
You can save the content to the flash memory card using either file operations on a
notebook PC or remotely using FTP. When a flash memory card is inserted correctly, it
is mounted in the VB101 file system as a directory called "/card". The content data is
stored as files in the /card/htdocs directory (file names made up of eight alphanumeric
characters followed by a three-character extension). Data can also be stored in the
flash memory built into the VB101. However, due to the limited available space (550
kilobytes), only the minimum required amount of data can be stored.
File system
(accessed by file operations or by an ftp client)
ftp://IP address/htdocs
ftp://IP address/card/htdocs
c
To use a Web browser as an FTP client:
Insert "user name: password@" before the IP address, as in "ftp://
Note
root:VB101@192.168.100.1/card/htdocs". The FTP user is restricted to the
system administrator (
P.36). The VB101 does not support anonymous
FTP.
Use only flash memory cards recommended by Canon.
