Generic Driver Settings
Defining the purpose of the related serial port (COM1 or COM2) to Generic will provide you
with the option to position the video source directly using HTTP (CGI parameters) in a Web
browser application, or with a TCP client application such as Visual Basic. Please refer to Appendix
D - The RS232 Interface for further information on this.
Important!
The Generic icon is displayed within the graphic interface only after the Purpose of the relative Serial
Port has been set to Generic. Refer to Purpose, on page 30 and redefine the purpose if the Pan Tilt icon
not visible, or a Pan Tilt icon is displayed next to the relative serial port icon.
