Since the internal and external modems have specific port number requirements,
always install the modems before installing the port expanders. Adding the modem
later will result in reassignment of the serial port numbers. Follow this procedure:
• Install all modems. Power up the Intellex unit and allow Windows to assign COM
port numbers.
• Install the port expander(s). Allow Windows to assign serial port numbers.
• Shut down the Intellex unit and restart. The port numbers should be stable after
this.
Connecting Text Sources
Data from a text source will be recorded by Intellex if the following conditions are
met:
• The Intellex application must be able to open the COM port.
• Serial data must be present for the text stream to be listed in the playback text box.
To set up text recording on the Intellex unit follow these steps:
1. Install all desired serial devices as described above. Be sure to reboot the unit to
minimize the possibility that serial ports may be reassigned the next time the
Intellex unit starts.
2. In the Intellex application, click Setup, then Text. Click Add to set up a text stream
for recording.
3. Type in a name for the text stream and select a COM port. Do not select
"Unselected" or any COM port less than COM 3.
4. Set up the other serial port parameters to match the data source.
5. Click the Camera Associations tab and select the camera(s) that will be associated
with this text stream.
NOTE: Text will only be recorded when the associated cameras are recording video.
6. Click OK to close the window and save the settings.
Connecting the Data Source
The data source must be connected to the COM port configured in the Intellex
application software and the data must be present on Pin 2 of the DB-9 connector that
plugs into the port expander. If the data is on Pin 3, then a null modem adapter or
cable must be used.
To verify the correct COM port, connect to the port expander and send some data
while Intellex is recording. The indicator on the port expander will flash amber when
data is received by Intellex. If it does not flash amber, try a different input.
