The following diagram shows how to install the
control module between the host (Intellex or PC)
and a camera.
Host (Intellex shown)
The USB Control Module allows a host computer,
such as an Intellex digital video management
system (or a PC with a USB port), to control one or
more American Dynamics camera domes using the
SensorNet (RS-485) communication protocol.
This guide explains:
• Features of the module and basic hookup
• Information required to download software, if
• SensorNet Rules and network types.

Features and Hookup
The USB Control Module contains the following:
• USB port: Connects to the host computer.
• Communication LEDs: A yellow LED indicates
correct USB connection by glowing steadily or
blinking. Immediately after power is turned on, a
green LED glows steadily for about 3 seconds
then turns off. This LED also blinks every time a
data packet is sent to the camera dome.
• Termination switch: Termination is indicated
by a resistor symbol near the switch. See
SensorNet Rules and Network Types in this
document for when to set the switch.

program?
2. Click Yes, and enter pin code 98374252.
3. Once in the Windows desktop, plug in your USB
control module. The Found New Hardware
Wizard screen appears.
4. Click Next. A Search for Suitable driver
screen appears.
5. Select the Search for a suitable driver for my
device (recommended) box and then click
Next.
6. From the Locate Driver Files screen, click the
Specify a location check box, and click Next.
7. Do one of the following:
• For Intellex DVMS, IP, and rack-mount LT,
browse to the

SensorNet Rules and Network Types
The SensorNet communication protocol allows the
host computer and camera domes to exchange
data along a cable network (star, daisy chain, or
backbone).
SensorNet Rules
• A star network cannot have more than four
branches, one line termination per branch.
• A backbone network has a termination at each
end of the line.
• A SensorNet line cannot have more than 32
network-compatible devices.
• A network cannot have more than four
repeaters in the path of any two camera domes.
• A SensorNet line or branch cannot exceed 1km
(3300ft). Use signal repeaters only when
exceeding the maximum distance or noise is an
issue.
• Signal levels for SensorNet-compatible devices
are from 0.3–5V (1–5V is recommended).
Network Types
Star Network
The star network allows you to relocate devices.
However, this network is not recommended in high
noise environments because the extra terminations
required will lower the signal to noise ratio.
A separate cable line (branch) runs from the USB
module to each device. Limit the branches to four.
The example below shows the USB module as the
hub of a star network. The module is not
terminated.
Black box = USB module, T = Terminated
Daisy-Chain/Backbone Network
Use a daisy chain network if the cable is to be
short, extended in the future, or when USB module
and camera domes are in the same room. In a
daisy chain, a separate cable connects every two
adjacent devices along the chain. Daisy chaining
makes it easy to add devices by extending the
network from a nearby device. The USB module
can connect anywhere along the cable.
Use a backbone network if the cable is to be long
and permanent. This network type operates the
same as the daisy chain, but uncut wires may be
more conductive and reliable. In a backbone, a
single cable is used. Along the cable, 2.5cm (1in)
sections are stripped, bent, and connected to each
remote device. The USB module can connect
anywhere along cable.
The example below shows the USB module at end
of a daisy chain or backbone network. The module
and the last camera dome in the chain are
terminated.

When J-Boxes are Used
When using the USB control module with J-Boxes,
consider the following rules (also refer to the
diagram on page
• Only use the AUX-to-HOST connection if the
distance from the HOST to the last J-BOX is
more than 1km (3300ft). Repeating is not
needed when the USB module and the last
J-BOX are less than 1km (3300ft) apart.
• From J-BOX 1 to J-BOX 2, use the HOST-toHOST connection only when the distance from
the HOST and the last J-BOX is less than 1km
(3300ft).
• If using the J-BOX to amplify the signal, it is
best to install it between 500 and 750m (16002500ft).
• Balance connection ports with domes (do not
load on one side).
4):
SensorNet Cable
SensorNet data cable. For plenum applications,
use RPPS series cable (equivalent to Belden
88442). For non-plenum applications, use RPDS
series cable (equivalent to Belden 8442).
Composite cable. For plenum applications, use
RPPCS series cable. For non-plenum applications,
use RPNCS series cable.
For further information, contact your Sales
representative for a SensorNet cable specification
sheet.
Note: In some environments, high noise on the
network may limit cable distance to less than 1km
(3300ft).
Note. Sensormatic composite cable is
recommended. This cable contains wires for power
and video. If another cable is substituted, wire
colors may be different.
If shielded cable must be used, signals may rapidly
decline as more devices are connected or its
length increases. As a result, maximum length for
shielded cable is reduced. For example, maximum
length for Belden 8760 cable is 750m (2500ft) in
ideal conditions (no noise).
