APPENDIX K: Satellite Configuration Overview

A satellite system is a network of two or more MegaPower 3200 video-matrix CCTV systems linked by video and data communications. You can link up to 30 individual MegaPower 3200 video-matrix CCTV systems into a satellite network.

Satellite systems are often used where multiple systems are needed in separate buildings or rooms, such as large multi-building corporate complexes, manufacturing facilities, college campuses, hospitals, and casinos.

Each satellite site communicates and shares video according to how you program it. You can enable operators at any one site to access the cameras and monitors at any other site. You can also restrict access to sites, as well as to certain cameras within certain sites.

Satellite sites are programmed as either local or remote sites.

•A local site refers to features that are accessible within a single site by the keyboard attached to that site’s MegaPower CPU.

•A remote site refers to features of other MegaPower CPU sites in a satellite network that are accessible from the local system.

Depending on the individual site connections (unidirectional or bidirectional), each site may be a source site, a receiving site, or both.

For illustrations of unidirectional and bidirectional connections between sites, refer to the following:

•Typical Satellite System Connections – Two Sites, Unidirectional on page 81.

•Typical Satellite System Connections – Two Sites, Bidirectional on page 82.

These sites are further defined as follows:

•Source Site – a satellite site that provides video trunk outputs to other sites.

•Receiving Site – a satellite site that receives video trunk inputs from other sites.

•Source and Receiving – a satellite site that both provides video trunk outputs to other sites and receives video trunk inputs from other sites

Setting Up Satellite Sites

Satellite system operations require specific setup procedures at each site in the satellite network before any remote functions can be performed.

At every site in a satellite network you can enable User IDs, create a site number, and perform other programming functions to enable or disable sharing.

The following local setup procedures are required for satellite (remote) operations.

•Verify Satellite Site Connections – Before starting system setup, verify the RS-232 communications links for control commands between sites and video trunk lines for video transmission between sites. For installation and connection procedures, refer to the MegaPower CPU Installation Guide, 8200-0421-01.

•Identify the local Site Number – Assign each site in a satellite network a unique site number. The site number is required for addressing purposes when commands and data are transmitted. Site numbers for the MegaPower CPU system range from 1 to 30.

•Identify the Local RS-232 Data Communications Link to Other Sites – At every site, define all RS-232 port data interfaces from the local site to each remote site. This is accomplished through the Port Communications function in the setup software.

•Identify the Local Video Trunk Inputs – At a receiving site, define all video trunk inputs to the local site from each remote site. In addition, program a remote site title for each video trunk input.

Note: This title is displayed on the monitor when that site is called from a keyboard.

If the MegaPower CPU system is equipped with Video Loss Detector modules, set each video trunk input loss detection to OFF.

•Set Local Access Restrictions – Access restrictions must be placed on specific resources at the local site to prevent interference with satellite operations.

−At the source site, set user access to the video trunk monitor outputs to “N” (access denied) for all local keyboards.

−At a receiving site, operators not requiring access to a remote site can be denied access to the trunk lines having camera access partitioning. The system administrator can set the camera access to “N” (access denied) for those operators.

−At a receiving site, set any desired restrictions for individual local keyboard access to individual remote sites.

−At each site, set any desired optional restrictions for individual local keyboard, monitor, and camera access.

•Record Local Satellite Site Connections – Use the Satellite Site Connections table on page 80 to record all links between the local site and all remote sites that are connected to it.
