Ethernet 10/100 socket
Connect to an Ethernet network with a UTP category 5 cable of length shorter than 100
meters according to the standard. Once the Ethernet cable is connected without error,
Video Server will utilize the Ethernet interface prior to the modem attached to COM2.
COM1 port
This RS232 serial port is dedicated to controlling the PTZ cameras attached to COM1
unless the administrator pre-configures COM1 as an RS485 interface that is accessed
through two pins in the general I/O terminal block.
COM2 port
This RS232 serial port can connect with a modem or the included null modem cable to
utilize dial-up network when Ethernet is not available. If Video Server operates with an
Ethernet interface, the administrator may use this port to control another PTZ cameras
attached to this serial port.
General I/O terminal block
Video Server provides a very flexible general I/O interface to combine with the user’s
security devices such as sensors, alarms, lighting or door locks. Two green connectors
are included in the package to connect the external devices. The general I/O terminal
block has twenty pins for device control. These pins can be divided into three categories
based on their functions, including power source, RS485 and digital inputs and outputs.
