4.2	Pelco Protocol Mode
	The Pelco Mode features Auto Baud Detection that automatically detects and adjusts the
	AutoDome protocol and baud rate to match that of the controller. The AutoDome responds to
	Pelco-D or Pelco-P protocol commands.
	NOTICE!
	The AutoDome supports only the RS-485 protocol while in Pelco mode. It does not transmit
	responses back to the controller.
4.2.1	Hardware Configuration
	The AutoDome is configured from the factory for RS-485 operation in Pelco Protocol Mode.
	1.	Connect the controller's TX terminals to the AutoDome's TxD terminals. See the
		AutoDome Modular Camera System Installation Manual for complete wiring instructions.
	2.	Pan or tilt the keyboard joystick to confirm that control has been established to the
		AutoDome (approximately five (5) seconds).

NOTICE!

If control is not established, ensure that the RS-232/RS-485 selector switch is positioned to RS-485 (outward toward the LED lights). This switch is located on the bottom of the AutoDome CPU board, under the camera head and next to the LED lights. See Figure 4.1.
