Transparent Data Port

 

 

 

 

 

Baudrate

9600

Select any transmission rate from 300 to 19200 baud.

 

 

 

Data bits

8

Select 7 or 8 data bits.

 

 

 

Parity

none

Select odd, even, or none.

 

 

 

Stop bits

1

Select 1 or 2 stop bits.

 

 

 

Control Terminal Port

 

 

 

 

 

Second com port

Terminal

The second COM port (Control Terminal port) can be set

 

 

to use Terminal mode, which is used to program the unit

 

 

through HyperTerminal.

 

 

Or, it can be set to “COM 2,” which will allow control of

 

 

devices such as a digital video recorder (DVR) or pan/tilt/

 

 

zoom camera, etc. As such, it functions just like the

 

 

Transparent Data port, thus providing two control ports.

 

 

However, when set to “COM 2” PelcoNet can no longer

 

 

be accessed through HyperTerminal.

 

 

 

Baudrate

19200

Select any transmission rate from 300 to 19200 baud.

 

 

 

Data bits

8

Select 7 or 8 data bits.

 

 

 

Parity

none

Select odd, even, or none.

 

 

 

Stop bits

1

Select 1 or 2 stop bits.

 

 

 

RS485

 

 

 

 

 

Halfduplex mode

off

If this RS-485 mode is chosen, the camera control data is

 

 

transferred automatically to the control terminal port, which

 

 

is a serial interface on the rear panel of the unit to which a

 

 

PC can be hooked. This mode supports flow control.

 

 

 

NOTE: In the “on” or “buffered” mode, transparent data is rerouted to the control terminal port; terminal functions are provided on the transparent data port.
