3.7 NETWORKING 

AND 

TRUNKING, CONTINUED 

The Special parameters section of the SETMAX editor contains a field for setting the 
STEAL CRITERIA for trunk congestion management (refer to Chapter: 6).  There are 

three modes of congestion management available. 

• 

Priority-level.  Uses each operator's individual priority level to determine who 
STEALS from whom.  This is the default setting. 

• 

On-alarm-only.  Will only STEAL a trunk line to facilitate an alarm activated video 
selection.  Operators cannot steal from one another. 

• 

Never-STEAL.  Will never steal a trunk line for any reason.  First in first serve 

allocation of trunk lines, regardless of operator priorities. 

 

The system uses on-screen messages to inform operators of trunk allocation and 
congestion situations.  If a trunk line is not available to service an alarm activated video 
selection, then an error message is written into the error log file. 

 

Note:

  Additional trunk lines could be added to a system 

to decrease the occurrence of congestion. 

3.8 CONTROLLING 

EQUIPMENT 

The MAXPRO-Net video system supports a fully integrated environment where all 
cameras, VCRs and other video equipment can be controlled from a keyboard. When 
control keys (or joystick) are activated on the keyboard, the video system must first 
determine: 

• 

What is the currently selected monitor? 

• 

What camera (or VCR playback) is currently on display? 

• 

What site receiver and I/O module equipment has been assigned to that camera (or 
VCR, etc.)? 

Then the system sends the required data command to control that specific camera (or 
VCR, etc.) 

The operator does

 not 

have to be concerned with the numerous interconnections 

between various equipments in the system.  What you see is just what you get (and 
control). 

A fully automated 

control

 of cameras, VCRs and other equipment can also be 

performed in response to alarms. 

3.8.1 PTZ 

Cameras 

When cameras are to be motorized (PTZ) the associated control module located in the 
I/O subrack must be allocated.  Camera control specifications are made in the video 
input table of SETMAX, the configuration editor program.  (Refer to section 6.2).
