Pan Tilt using the TCP Protocol

Instead of using a specific Pan/Tilt driver, the camera position can be controlled using a TCP client

application such as Visual Basic. The schematic diagram below illustrates the logical elements for

such a configuration:.

To enable TCP input/output operations on the Pan/Tilt port, follow these steps:

Follow the instructions below to configure Pan Tilt for use with the HTTP protocol:

1. Click the Generic icon within the graphic user interface.

2. Set the TCP radio button.

3. Define the appropriate port number TCP Port number for Raw TCP or Reverse Telnet

(normally default to 9100). Otherwise, proceed to step 3.

4. Click Save.

Note: your TCP client application must also use this TCP port when communicating with the AXIS

2400.

The Pan/Tilt port is now enabled for input/output operations via HTTP. Refer to Appendix E -

CGI Parameters for a list of the CGI parameters you can use.
