representative for all cameras, reply to commands as usual, while all other cameras are
silent.
To set the broadcast master, use the command
rs485_bc_master
. Note that this
command may be send to an individual camera, or over the broadcast channel. Sending it
over the broadcast channel ensures, that only one master is active in the system.

communication over the device address is unaffected and works as usual.

rs485_bc_addr

6.7 Command parser
The command parser supports abbreviated commands. This means that it is only required
to type as many characters until the command is unique.
Example for equivalent commands:
save_settings
save
sa
For interactive operation this is useful to save typing time.
Note: It is not recommended to use the short commands in any control or application
software. The reason is, that future extensions may make a current unique short command
ambiguous.
