Figure 62. Dome/PTZ Device Direct Connect Configuration screen

The Dome/PTZ Device Direct Connect Configuration screen consists of five sections:

The top section contains two checkboxes that control how connections are generally set up.

Note: Both checkboxes cannot be checked at the same time.

Neither checkbox checked – This unconfigured/default state causes the MPCPU to send commands through both the ADDL and the Direct Connect ports according to the default settings.

o The lower four port group’s settings are grayed out, and user input to these controls is disabled.

o All values in the lower four port group’s controls will be set to the default settings (See Table 1 on page 32 for the default settings values).

o A red warning text appears indicating commands will be sent through both the ADDL and the default direct connections.

Not using direct connections: When checked, this checkbox causes the MPCPU to send commands only through the ADDL.

The lower four port group’s controls are grayed out, and the user input to the controls is disabled.

Setting values in the lower four port group’s controls are unchanged from what they were before this checkbox was checked.

The red warning text is not displayed.

Direct connection configured as below: When checked, this checkbox causes the MPCPU to issue commands out the Direct Connect ports as configured in the lower four port group’s control settings. Commands are not sent through the ADDL.

The lower four port group’s controls are now enabled for user input.

The red warning text is not displayed.

Both checkboxes unchecked from a previously checked state (return to defaults). If either checkbox is in a checked state and the user unchecks that box:

A warning message box appears and informs you that unchecking both boxes will return the port group’s setting values to the default values.

If you click OK, the settings for all the controls will be returned to the default values, and the screen will display as described in the Neither checkbox checked state above.

If you click Cancel, the checkbox you are attempting to uncheck will remain checked, and no changes to any of the port group’s setting values will occur.

The bottom four sections (the Port Groups) control the settings for the four MPCPU ports— two SensorNet/Manchester ports and two RS-422/–485 ports. These sections define how video inputs are configured and what connections and protocols the MPCPU should use to send commands to the Dome/PTZ devices connected to the video inputs.

All the port groups’ controls are enabled for user input when the Direct connection configured as below checkbox is checked. If the Not using Direct Connection checkbox is checked or neither checkbox is checked, the controls are grayed out and disabled from user input.
