Figure 62. Dome/PTZ Device Direct Connect
Configuration screen
The Dome/PTZ Device Direct Connect Configuration
screen consists of five sections:
•
The top section contains two checkboxes that
control how connections are generally set up.
Note: Both checkboxes cannot be checked at the
same time.
−
Neither checkbox checked – This
unconfigured/default state causes the
MPCPU to send commands through both the
ADDL and the Direct Connect ports according
to the default settings.
o
The lower four port group’s settings are
grayed out, and user input to these
controls is disabled.
o
All values in the lower four port group’s
controls will be set to the default settings
(See Table 1 on page 32 for the default
settings values).
o
A red warning text appears indicating
commands will be sent through both the
ADDL and the default direct connections.
−
Not using direct connections : When
checked, this checkbox causes the MPCPU
to send commands only through the ADDL.
○ The lower four port group’s controls are
grayed out, and the user input to the
controls is disabled.
○ Setting values in the lower four port
group’s controls are unchanged from what
they were before this checkbox was
checked.
○ The red warning text is not displayed.
−
Direct connection configured as below :
When checked, this checkbox causes the
MPCPU to issue commands out the Direct
Connect ports as configured in the lower four
port group’s control settings. Commands are
not sent through the ADDL.
○ The lower four port group’s controls are
now enabled for user input.
○ The red warning text is not displayed.
– Both checkboxes unchecked from a
previously checked state
(return to
defaults). If either checkbox is in a checked
state and the user unchecks that box:
○ A warning message box appears and
informs you that unchecking both boxes
will return the port group’s setting values
to the default values.
○ If you click OK, the settings for all the
controls will be returned to the default
values, and the screen will display as
described in the
Neither checkbox
checked state above.
○ If you click Cancel, the checkbox you are
attempting to uncheck will remain
checked, and no changes to any of the
port group’s setting values will occur.
•
The bottom four sections (the Port Groups)
control the settings for the four MPCPU ports—
two SensorNet/Manchester ports and two
RS-422/–485 ports. These sections define how
video inputs are configured and what connections
and protocols the MPCPU should use to send
commands to the Dome/PTZ devices connected
to the video inputs.
All the port groups’ controls are enabled for user
input when the
Direct connection configured as
below checkbox is checked. If the Not using
Direct Connection checkbox is checked or
neither checkbox is checked, the controls are
grayed out and disabled from user input.
