For the set items above, the unit will work differently depending on whether the unit is operated directly or operated via a net- work as follows.

When the unit is operated directly

Operate using the monitor connected with this unit. There are 3 ways to operate this unit as follows:

Operate using the buttons on the front panel of the unit

Operate using a PS·Data compatible controller

Note: The priority setting of this unit will not be applied when controlling the cameras connected to the coaxial communica- tion using a PS·Data compatible controller. (Post-priority will be applied.)

Operate using a PC connected to the SERIAL connector (RS232C) on the rear panel of the unit

It is impossible to log into the unit simultaneously by the above methods (except when using the same user name to log in). When a user tries to log in after another user has already logged into the unit, the unit will work as follows according to the set- ting for "Priority" of "System".
