Step4: Serial port setup. Set port parameters in “COM1 Properties” dialogue box as the following figure: The parameters should be: Bits per second: 115200 Data bits: 8 Parity: None Stop bits: 1 Flow control: None Press “Apply” and “OK” after the setup. Press “Enter” under Hyper Terminal interface. When “[root@dvrdvs/]#” appears, the connection is established.
Terminal interface will appear as figure below. Type “Enter”, and the prompt “[root@dvrdvs/]#” will appear which means connection between RS232 interface of PC and RS232 interface of DS-6401HDI is established successfully by Hyper Terminal. The following operation commands are to accomplish the parameters setup in...

4.5.3 PTZ Control If the decoder is connected with PTZ, user can operate the PTZ control through the client software. There are 8 directional keys to control PTZ movement, and the sliding bar is used to change PTZ speed, which is adjustable from 1 to 7, and the default speed is 4.
Appendix B FAQ Why cannot ping the decoder? Please refer to Chapter 3 to configure the decoder IP address being in the same segment as your PC, and check the cable and switch. Why the transparent channel has been set, but the encoder still cannot receive data? 1: Check if RS232 has been set as transparent channel first.
Appendix C Glossary Dual Stream Dual stream refers to that one channel of video stream can be divided into double independent output streams through the video encoder. Shown as below: Main Stream Video Stream Video Encoder Sub Stream The resolution, frame rate, bitrate and other parameters of the output stream are independently programmable. The two streams generated may meet different application demands, e.g., one stream is used for HDD storage, and the other for transmission via Internet.
