Unable to control the camera

If you are unable to control the camera with serial communications, ensure the communication
parameters of the camera (such as baud rate, address, and communication standard) match the
parameters of the other serial device. If using RS-422, confirm the receive pair on the camera are
connected to the transmit pair of the other device. Also confirm that the Software Override DIP switch
(SW102-9) is set correctly. This switch determines whether the serial configuration comes from the
hardware DIP switches or the software settings. Refer to the camera installation manual for
information on how to set the DIP switches.
If the camera does not respond to commands from FSM (for example, the camera does not zoom
when the zoom in button is clicked), the camera may not be the "Active" camera, or you may not have
control of the camera. By default FSM will automatically request control of the camera and make it
active, but if there are multiple cameras and/or multiple FSM clients, it may be necessary to manually
make the camera active and take control of it.
In the Sensors Panel, if the camera is the active sensor, there will be an "(Active)"
notification next to the name of the camera. Only one camera or sensor can be
active at a time. To make the camera active, right click on the icon to the left of the
camera name and select "Set Active", or simply double-click on the icon.
The icon to the left of the camera name indicates the status of the sensor. The following is a list of the
possible icons and the meaning of each one.
Connected and Controlled
This icon indicates the camera has been discovered and added to the list of active servers, and the
camera is actively "connected" to the FSM client and receiving status updates. The joystick in the icon
indicates the user has control of the camera. To release control of the camera, right click on the icon
and select "Release Control".
Discovered
This icon indicates the camera has been discovered and added to the list of
active servers, but the camera is not actively "connected" to FSM, and
therefore FSM is not receiving status updates. To connect to the camera, right
click on the icon and select "Connect". Alternatively, it is possible to double-
click the icon to connect.
Connected
This icon indicates the camera has been discovered and added to the list of
active servers, and the camera is actively "connected" to FSM and receiving
status updates. To take control of the camera, right click on the icon and
select "Request Control". Alternatively, it is possible to double-click the icon to
take control.
