The system configuration for the bridge node will need to encompass the total
number of cameras, monitors and VCR/MPX on all the ‘monitor nodes’. The
camera text needs to be configured at each monitor node. Keyboard access to
monitors, user access to camera view/control and monitor access must be
configured at the bridge node.
An input trunk must be configured at the bridge node for each remote monitor to be
controlled. Each input trunk must have a camera number specified even though
nothing is physically connected to the bridge camera inputs. Alarms for the chosen
trunk inputs must have their type set to either trunk or none.
Tab. 33 shows example configuration changes for bridge mode A controlling four
expanded VIS3I-328 remote nodes.
