■RS485 Setup

●Initial Camera Communication Parameters

In an RS485 chain, the matrix switcher, PC, controllers and cameras should be set to the same protocol and parameters for communication. Confirm the system pro- tocol and parameters prior to setting the communica- tion parameters for the camera.

The initial communication parameters for WV-CW864A are shown on the RS485 setup menu below. Other than the on-screen setup parameters, the 4-bit DIP switch may be used to select 2-line (half duplex) or 4-line (full duplex) communication.

●Changing the Camera Communication Parameters

You can remotely control this camera by using a speci- fied extension unit such as a computer with a modem.

1.Display SET UP MENU. Move the cursor to RS485 SET UP and press the CAM (SET) key. The RS485 SET UP menu appears on the monitor.

(OFF: no retry, 100, 200, 400, 1 000 ms).

Alarm Data (ALARM DATA)

Specifies the alarm transmission mode depending on the protocol selected by the 8-bit DIP switch.

POLLING: Transmits the alarm data in response to requests from the controller.

AUTO 1: Transmits the alarm data each time an alarm signal is received by the camera.

AUTO 2 (Default): Transmits alarm data at intervals of 5 seconds.

Delay Time (DELAY TIME)

Specifies the time to transmit the acknowledge request when communicating on a 2-line connection.

[----, 100 ms] Factory default setting: ---- (no set).

This menu appears only when a 2-line communication is used. Make sure to be 100 ms when connecting the camera with WJ-FS616 Video Multiplexer or Matrix Switcher WJ-SX350 in a 2-line communication system.

The settings become effective with the closing of SET UP MENU.

Note: Set the same parameters for the cameras, con- trollers and personal computers in an RS485 chain.
