PRIORITY

The CM6800E provides eight levels of priority control. Each level defines the ability of a keyboard to control a pan/tilt/zoom (camera positioning system) and to access programming screens.

Priority level applies system wide; a keyboard assigned priority level 2 on COM port 8 has a higher priority than a keyboard assigned priority level 4 on COM port 5. A higher level keyboard takes precedence over a lower level keyboard when the keyboards are issuing control commands.

			Figure 47. Access the Priority Screen
PORT:	Select the COM port number for which you are programming priority control.
PRIORITY:	For each keyboard connected to the specified port, assign a priority level (01-08).

OPTIONS:

Level 1 = highest priority

Level 8 = lowest priority

Levels 1 - 3 have the ability to access programming screens. Levels 4-8 cannot access programming screens. The lowest level or keyboards located at the same level will access devices on first-come, first-served basis.

NOTE: If you connect an ASCII keyboard/device to the CM6800E (COM port 1, 2, 4, 7, or 8), you can connect only one keyboard to a port. For ASCII keyboards, priority control is based on the entry for keyboard 1.
