DOME CONTROL SIGNALS INSTALLATION
DigiMux controls the domes via RS-422/RS-485 communication protocol. The RS-485
parameters in DigiMux must be set to the same parameters as the protocol for RS-422
setup of the dome. The default DigiMux settings are 4800, 8, 1, None (4800 Baud,
8
Data Bits, 1 Stop Bit, No Parity). (See RS-485 Port Settings on page 82).
Domes are connected to the DigiMux via the External I/O Connector board. To
connect a dome to the DigiMux, connect the R+, R- terminals on the dome to the D+,
D - terminals on the External I/O board, respectively. Only two wires are required for
dome connection. For dome communication protocol setup, see
Dome Protocol on
page 82.
NOTE: If you have multiple units, dome cameras, and keyboard devices on the same
RS-485 bus, make sure that each device has its own unique ID
address.
Remember that the RS-485 (RJ-11) port and the External I/O Connector board are
connecting devices to the same RS-485 bus.
For more information regarding dome camera installation and other camera
connections, see the documentation that accompanies your dome camera.
