3.Move the cursor to BAUD RATE, and then tilt the joystick left or right to select a baud rate setting. Tilting the joystick cycles through the baud rate (transmission speed) display in the sequence shown below. (unit: bits/s) The factory default setting is 19200.

2400 4800 9600 19200

4.Move the cursor to DATA BIT, and then tilt the joystick left or right to select a data bit setting (7 or 8).

The factory default setting is 8.

5.Move the cursor to PARITY CHECK, and then tilt the joystick left or right to select a parity bit setting (NONE, ODD, EVEN).

The factory default setting is NONE.

6.Move the cursor to STOP BIT, and then tilt the joystick left or right to select a stop bit setting (1 or 2).

The factory default setting is 1.

7.Move the cursor to XON/XOFF, and then tilt the joystick left or right to select an XON/XOFF setting.

The factory default setting is NOT USE.

NOT USE: Disables X ON/X OFF data flow control.

USE

: Enables X ON/X OFF data flow control.

8.Move the cursor to WAIT TIME, and then tilt the joystick left or right to select a wait time setting.

The wait time is the time that the camera should wait before resending data when no receive acknowledgement (ACK) is returned after data is sent.

Tilting the joystick cycles through the wait time display in the sequence shown below. (unit: ms) The factory default setting is OFF.

OFF 100MS 200MS 400MS 1000MS

9.Move the cursor to ALARM DATA, and then tilt the joystick left or right to select an alarm data send mode setting.

POLLING : Sends alarm data in response to a request by the system controller.

AUTO1

: Sends alarm data each time an alarm

 

signal is input.

AUTO2

: Sends alarm data at five-second intervals.

 

This is the factory default setting.

10.Move the cursor to DELAY TIME, and then tilt the joystick left or right to select a delay time setting. The delay time is the time is the time the camera should wait before sending a receive acknowledge (ACK). The delay time display changes in the sequence shown below. (unit: ms) The factory default setting is OFF.

OFF 100MS

This setting can be configured only when 2-line configuration is selected by DIP Switch 2. (page 12)
