6.4 Setting the Camera Address via FastAddress
The MIC-550 offers remote addressing via the feature "FastAddress," which allows you to set
or to change a camera address using the keyboard and on-screen menus. The FastAddress
feature allows you to install all cameras first, then to set the addresses via the control system.
Since it is not necessary to go to the physical location of the camera, this feature makes it
easier to re-address cameras at a later time.

6.4.1 FastAddress, Bosch Protocol

In Bosch protocol, there are three (3) FastAddress commands:
–ON-999-ENTER: Displays and programs all cameras without an address in the system.
–ON-998-ENTER: Displays and programs all cameras with or without an address in the
system.
–ON-997-ENTER: Displays the current address status of all cameras in the system
simultaneously.
To set an address for a camera without an address:
1. Select the camera number you want to FastAddress. The system displays the camera
number on the keyboard and the image on the corresponding monitor.
2. Press #-ENTER (where # is the camera number without an address).
3. Press ON-999-ENTER to invoke an on-screen display of cameras on the system without
an address.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions. You receive an on-screen confirmation when the
FastAddress is complete.
To change or clear an address for a camera with an address:
1. Select the camera number you want to FastAddress. The system displays the camera
number on the keyboard and the image on the corresponding monitor.
2. Press #-ENTER (where # is the camera number with an address).
3. Press ON-998-ENTER to invoke an on-screen display of all cameras on the system, with or
without an address.
4. Follow the on screen instructions. You receive an on-screen confirmation when the
FastAddress is complete.

6.4.2 FastAddress, Pelco Protocols

This section provides instructions to set a FastAddress with a Pelco keyboard or controller.
– A MIC-550 with an address set to 0 responds to commands set to any address.
NOTICE!
Some Pelco controllers do not support all of the preset command numbers. Consult the
documentation of the specific Pelco controller for supported preset commands.
NOTICE!
You do not need to set a camera address if using Bilinx communication.
FastAddress is stored in nonvolatile memory and does not change if the power is turned off or
if the default settings are restored.
NOTICE!
If a keyboard is set to a camera number that already has an address, that camera also
responds to this command.
