5.4.2. DI/DO for FW-3850/5850/5870
There are 8 serial Input ports and 8 output ports in FW-3850 and FW-5850 models. A good example
of the Input and Output usage is, an external sensor can be connected to the Input port, and a
warning light is triggered by the Output port.
DI/DO Setup
Each Input and Output port can be assigned unique name respectively, so that you can easily
distinguish every Input and Output ports from others by those names. This can be very useful in case
of managing multiple sites with separate Costar Video Servers, where you can quickly and correctly
identify which Sensor Input is detected or determines which Alarm Output needs to be activated.
You can define Sensor Input Name and Alarm Output Name as you want, which should be up to
31 alphanumeric or up to 15 Unicode characters. After assigning names, click Apply button to take
effect.
