Installing the Flash Upgrade and PC Direct Control
It is possible to upgrade software for the Surveyor2000 through a PC and to control the Surveyor2000 from a
PC. There are two system configurations, a standalone system, with one dome and one PC, and a star
configuration, using a V1400X-IDL.
Before the software for the Surveyor2000 can be upgraded, it is necessary to setup the hardware.
Additionally, S2000-PCSW (product code 7708-00) software for the PC must be ordered; the disk provides
both the flash upgrade utility, needed to upgrade the firmware in the dome to latest version, and the PC Direct
Control Software, which allows a host PC to control several domes through a GUI. Call Technical Support at
1-800-34-VICON (1-800-348-4266).
Standalone Configuration
When one PC is being used with one dome, the PC must be connected to the Surveyor2000 by means of
Vicon’s RS-232/RS-422 Interface Converter (part number 1240-5308-01) and a cable assembly (not
provided). Fabricate the cable using 2 twisted pairs plus shield. See table below for pin out connections.
Connect the converter to the COM1 (SERIAL port) on the PC. Connect the other end of the fabricated cable
o COMM TB3 on the Communications/Power Supply PC Board. See following figure. t
