Set RS-232 or RS-422/485
When the camera is set to RS232, communications to a computer with a serial port is possible with the
use of a breakout cable. Third-party systems may use RS232 or may require switching to RS422/485. If
RS485 is required, pSEE can set this format with a simple drop-down menu.
NOTE: Computers that have a serial port normally use RS232. When the camera is set for RS422/485,
this serial connection must be adapted back to RS232 to communicate with the computer. A 4-wire full-
duplex RS422/485 to RS232 adapter (Telebyte TB253P or similar, RVision P/N: 200310 & 700510) with
the proper end-wiring will adapt this connection.

Hook up the proper cabling and establish a connection to the camera. In the ‘Manual
Commands’ tab, select the dropdown to set to RS-232 or RS-422/485 and click ‘Send’.
To test the new setting, turn off the camera and exit pSEE™. Change the serial cabling
between RS232 and RS422/485 with adapter as required. Turn on the camera power and
restart pSEE™. Click Discover to locate the camera.
If pSEE™ cannot locate the camera, double-check connections and adapter wiring. Contact
RVision for assistance.
