1 F-Series Camera Installation
If the Software Override DIP switch is set to the software position (as it is by default), all of the other
DIP switches will be ignored, and configuration changes must be made through software. If the switch
is set to the hardware position, all configuration settings related to serial communications are made
with the DIP switches, and changes that are made via software (with a web browser) will be ignored.
The following image shows the factory default settings, with address 1, 9600 baud, Pelco D, RS-422,
Software Override set to software:
Serial Address: Use the block of switches on the left (SW101) to set the serial address of the
camera. The available range of values is from decimal 1 to 255. The dip switches are interpreted as a
binary number, with switch 1 representing the least significant bit (the switches are in the reverse
order of the bits). For convenience, a table of serial addresses and their binary equivalents is included
at the end of the manual. See “Serial Address: Decimal To Binary Conversion” on page 3-1.
Other Serial Communication Parameters: The tables below defines the switch locations, bit
numbering and on/off settings used in controlling the other serial communication parameters.
