Remote Keyboards

A remote keyboard (DM/KBS3) can be connected to the unit to provide extra functionality, such as:

• Remote control from a distance of up to 1500m (490ft).

• Control of multiple units.

• Control of on-board telemetry.

• Jog/Shuttle playback using the joystick.

• Panic alarm button - activates the system panic alarm zone input on the unit.

Video Switchers

Video switchers allow multiple units to be controlled from a single pair of monitors. This allows the exibility of

controlling up to 256 cameras from a single location without having to purchase extra matrix equipment. The

Video Switcher routes the monitors from the unit being controlled to the operator’s monitors. Up to 16 control

positions can have monitor switching.

Tip: Each 485-bus device is supplied with a 2m 485-bus cable. To extend the distance between

devices, two 485-bus junction boxes and 12V-power supply are required. A total distance for the

whole 485-bus network can be up to 1500m (4900ft).

Connecting Dial-up Devices

The DVR supports PPP (Point to Point Protocol) connections via the RS-232 serial port (Serial 1). This port allows

an external modem to be connected to the unit providing a path for outgoing and incoming PPP connections.

Set up

Conguring PPP operation is explained in the section ‘System Options’ later in this manual.

NOTE: The unit will only transmit OR receive data over PPP at any one time. It is not possible to send and

receive simultaneously.

Remote dial-up

TIP: To make a dial-up connection in Windows®, Click on Start -> Help, and type in ‘Dial Up’ in the

search window. A description of making a dial-up connection to another PC should be displayed.

Once the remote computer has been congured to dial-up to the Eco, enter the PPP_Link2 IP address that was

allocated to the port on the unit to make a remote dial up connection.
