Pan/Tilt/Zoom (PTZ) Conguration
The 3e-528 unit encloses a serial server card (Device Master RTS) that
gives access to four serial ports over the network. These serial ports can
be used for camera Pan/Tilt/Zoom purposes, or to connect other type of
device with a different function.
When the driver for the serial server card (NS-Link) is installed in a
host PC, four virtual COM ports are created in that PC. Each virtual COM
port allows serial transfers, just like a normal COM port, to each serial
port across the network. NS-Link is also available for Linux machines,
providing TTY functionality just like a normal serial interface.
This way, a particular software driver for a specic camera, can access
the camera through across the network seamlessly providing that such
driver is designed to interface with the camera using a COM port of the
PC.
The Device Master RTS is manufactured by Comtrol. To get more

Conguration
The IP conguration of the serial server card can be changed from the
precongured setting by accessing the device through a web interface or
by establishing a Telnet connection. For both cases, the precongured IP
address needs to be known.
With Telnet access, only the IP conguration can be changed, while
the web access provides more possibilities for conguration of the serial
server card.
The precongured IP address for the serial server card is
192.168.254.30. A PC connected to the WAN port of the 3e-528 can access
the web interface of the serial card by typing the IP address on a web
browser http://192.168.254.30. Please note that the IP conguration of
the PC needs to be setup correctly. Likewise, the PC can access the serial
server card by typing “telnet 192.168.254.30” on a command prompt.
