RS-232 ports - Connect up to 8 cameras locally.

Cabling Notes

RS-232 cables may be up to 500 ft (152.4 m).

For RS-232 cabling, use Cat-5e or better cable and standard RJ-45 connectors (568B termination). We recommend using high-quality connectors and a high-quality crimping tool.

Note

Do not use pass-through RJ-45 connectors. These can cause intermittent connections and degraded signal quality, resulting in problems that may be hard to diagnose. Use standard RJ-45 connectors and test all cables for proper pin-outs and continuity before you connect them to Vaddio products.

RS-232 Serial Communication Settings and Port Pin-out

The RS-232 serial ports (color-coded blue) on the PCC Premier back panel allow you to connect cameras directly.

RS-232 communication parameters are as follows:

Parameter Value
Communication Speed 9600 bps (default)
Start bits 1
Stop bits 1
Data bits 8
Parity None
Flow control None

Connector pin-out:

■ Pin 1: Not used
■ Pin 2: Not used
■ Pin 3: Not used
■ Pin 4: Not used
■ Pin 5: Not used
■ Pin 6: GND
■ Pin 7: TXD (to RXD of camera)
■ Pin 8: RXD (from TXD of camera)

Caution:

Check Cat-5 cables for continuity before using them. Using the wrong pin-out may damage the c system and void the warranty. Pro tip: Label your cables.

Connecting the Controller

2. Under Devices, locate the name of a camera you want to add to this group. (You can add more than one group.)

3. Do one of these things:

4. Drag a camera name to the desired button in the Edit Group pane, repeating as needed,

5. Check the box to the left of each camera that you want to add to the group, then click to add all of them to the group.

6. Save your changes.

You can now select the defined groups and control the cameras in them from the console.

Selecting Camera Groups to Control

After you have set up the address book, you can select the groups to work with. You can dc the web interface or from the console's touch-panel display.

By default, the buttons on the Control A bus are mapped to the RS-232 cameras. You can ch

Backing Up or Copying a Configuration: Exporting Data

Web interface, System page

If your organization uses several PCC Premier camera controllers, you may choose to configure o them, verify that the configuration is good, and then copy it to the camera controllers.

Note

Currently, the camera controller cannot import a .dat file that was exported from a different version software than the controller is on. Example: You cannot currently import a 1.0.0 configuration to a controller, or vice versa.

1. To save a copy of the camera controller's current configuration, click Export Data. The file dc your default file download location. The filename is the camera controller's hostname followed by .dat file extension. If you only need to back up the configuration, you're done.
2. If you need to copy the configuration to other PCC Premier camera controllers, see Importing a Configuration.

Restoring Factory Defaults

Web interface, System page

Restoring factory settings will overwrite anything you have added or customized, such as IP camera address book groups. (If you export a known good configuration from this camera controller or another PCC

Premier, you can import it again after restoring factory settings.)

To restore the original factory settings:

1. Click Restore Factory Settings. A confirmation message informs you that the action cannot be This is your cue to make sure you have successfully exported the configuration.
2. When you click Continue, the camera controller reboots and the web interface presents a mes the device has been rebooted.

Click the download button. The name of the file will be the camera controller's hostname followed .tar.gz.

Telnet Command API

The Vaddio serial command protocol is a high-level, text-based command line interface supported v Telnet session on the camera. The API is accessed by a telnet client on the Ethernet port; the Telnet port is 23. Telnet sessions require the administrator account login.

The command application protocol interface allows an external device such as AMX or Crestron to the PCC Premier and its cameras. The protocol is based upon ASCII format following the VT100 emulation standard and uses an intuitive text command nomenclature for ease of use.

General format usage follows a get/set struct

Usage examples for each type are:

Set Example

COMMAND: > camera 3 pan right

RESPONSE: > OK

Get Example

COMMAND: > camera ccu get iris

RESPONSE: > iris 11

Syntax Error Example

COMMAND: > camera right pan

RESPONSE: > ERROR

Note

Using a question mark as a command parameter will bring up a list of available commands for you are in. For example:

camera 1 focus ?

near Focus the camera near

far Focus the camera far

stop Stop the camera focus

mode Camera focus mode

Things to know about control via Telnet session:

• All ASCII characters will be echoed to terminal program and appended with VT100 string -ESC [J (hex 1B 5B 4A).
  ■ Command lines are terminated with a carriage return. After the carriage return, the VT100 appends with -ESC [J].
  ■ Most terminal programs automatically strip the VT100 string.
  ■ [CTRL] 5 Clears the current serial buffer on the device.

The PCC Premier supports the Telnet commands in the following sections.
