Serial Communications Settings - Hardware DIP Switches

The camera has two blocks of DIP switches that are used to configure the serial
communications settings. One block of switches, on the left, has 8 switches and is used to set
the serial address (or ID) of the camera. The other block of switches, on the right, has 10
switches and is used to set baud rate, hardware protocol (RS-232 or RS-422), serial protocol
(Pelco D or Bosch), and Hardware/Software select (also known as Software Override).
The figure below shows the locations of dip switches SW101 and SW102.
Figure 3-2: F-Series Camera Configuration
If the Software Override DIP switch is set to the software position (as it is by default), all of the
other DIP switches will be ignored, and configuration changes must be made through software.
If the switch is set to the hardware position, all configuration settings related to serial
communications are made with the DIP switches, and changes that are made via software
(with a web browser) will be ignored.
The following image shows the factory default settings (address 1, 9600 baud, Pelco D, RS-
422, Software select):
