SECTION 4: USING THE OSD MENUS
If the
SOFT ADDR ACTIVE
is set ON, the soft address is the valid address for connecting the camera. The
SOFT
ADDRESS
ranges from 1 to 255.
If the
SOFT ADDR ACTIVE
is set as OFF, the hard address set by the DIP switch is the valid address of the camera.
TASK 2: Set the broadcast address of the camera.
When the
