Operation Verification Procedure
Input Devices
•
Verify that all external equipment is powered-on and functional.
1. Setup all Input Devices in accordance with their corresponding Instruction Manuals, listed in the
Reference Section of this manual. The most important factors to setup are the addresses and baud rate.
The addresses must be unique for each input and the baud rate must be the same for all inputs.
2. Toggle the DL/IDL switch, on the rear panel, to the IDL position. Power-on the IDL by plugging it in. All
LEDs should blink once during the IDL’s power-on test. The POWER LED will illuminate solid. All Station
LEDs will illuminate solid individually. The IDL will detect the baud rate while it monitors the CPU. When
the baud rate has been detected (approximately 45 sec), it will blink the CPU LED to indicate the baud
rate and then illuminate it solid. One blink indicates 4800 baud, two blinks indicates 9600 baud and three
blinks indicates 19200 baud. After this, LEDs can be disabled based on line conditions.
Note: The CPU baud rate MUST be the same as the individual Stations for proper operation.
When a Station LED is disabled, the IDL has found that line to be corrupt and shut down that Station. If
that line becomes valid, the IDL will illuminate that LED. When the CPU LED is disabled, the
communication has failed with the CPU. However, the IDL will continue endlessly to attempt
communication with the CPU.
3. Call up consecutive Monitors and Cameras or Domes to verify communication with the CPU.
4. Repeat Monitor and Camera call up on all Input Devices to verify communication with the CPU.
Output Devices
•
Verify that all external equipment is powered-on and functional.
1. Setup all Output Devices in accordance with their corresponding Instruction Manuals, listed in the
Reference Section of this manual. The most important factors to setup are the addresses and baud rate.
The addresses must be unique for each output and the baud rate must be the same for all outputs.
2. Toggle the DL/IDL switch, on the rear panel, to the IDL position. Power-on the IDL by plugging it in. All
LEDs should blink once during the IDL’s power-on test. The POWER LED will illuminate solid. All Station
LEDs will illuminate solid individually. The IDL will detect the baud rate while it monitors the output
devices. When the baud rate has been detected (approximately 45 sec), it will blink the CPU LED to
indicate the baud rate and then illuminate it solid. One blink indicates 4800 baud, two blinks indicates
9600 baud and three blinks indicates 19200 baud. After this, LEDs can be disabled based on line
conditions.
Note: The baud rates of the output devices MUST be the same as the CPU for proper operation.
When a Station LED is disabled, the IDL has found that line to be corrupt and shut down that Station. If
that line becomes valid, the IDL will illuminate that LED. When the CPU LED is disabled, the
communication has failed with the corresponding output device. However, the IDL will continue endlessly
to attempt communication with the corresponding output device.
3. Setup one or more Input Devices in accordance with their corresponding Instruction Manuals, listed in the
Reference Section of this manual.
4. Call up each Output Device from each Input Device to verify proper connection to the IDL.
CPU Control System Operation
To properly control Cameras and Monitors on various CPU systems, it is necessary to setup monitor
partitioning and camera seize control on the CPU. Refer to the appropriate CPU Instruction Manual for
information on establishing monitor partitioning and camera seize control.
