Configuring Other Hardware
Preparation
Before defining customer device events and using them as alarms, a View operator needs:
•
Serial communication settings of the customer device. These are obtained from the
device’s manufacturer and are required to correctly receive data from the device.
•
Specific rights added to a typical View user account: the Modify configuration right
and access to the site that is connected to the device. See
.
•
To know which serial port on a Multi-Media unit is used by the device, and knowing if
it is already being used by other devices, such as a PTZ camera, and so on.
•
To know how strings of text are formatted and produced by the customer device(s).
Adding a Customer Device that Sends Data to a Unit
In this procedure, let us suppose that the owner of a retail store wants video of an employee
at a point-of-sale (POS), when goods are purchased. Assume that a cash register is
connected to a Multi-Media unit and you know the cash register communication settings.
1.
Start a
for the Rapid Eye site. Wait until a
System
Operational
message appears. Click the Serial Devices tab.
2.
Expand New Devices (as needed) to see a Data Input icon (see
).
3.
Drag the Data Input icon to a port icon, as needed. If you drop the icon on a port that
is already assigned to another device, the POS device replaces it and the displaced
device is sent to the Unassigned Devices group.
4.
To name the interface between Multi and the cash register, select the Device Name
box for the Serial device (see
), and enter a name, for example, Cash1.
Click elsewhere on the View window to save the name.
5.
Set the communication parameters (Baud Rate, Data Bits, Stop Bits, and Parity
Bits) to values recommended by the manufacturer of the device.
6.
Ignore the Buffer Size for now. To add a data recording rule, see
Rule for a Data Recording Device
7.
Select the Log or Alarm checkboxes to log the event (
No Sale
in the
example) or have it trigger an alarm.
