The first and last devices in an installation (dome and keyboard controller) must have the data line
terminated by setting the DIP switch. Without proper termination, there is potential for control signal
errors. Total length of the cable for communication should not exceed 4000ft (1 .2Km).
Refer to Figure 6 for setting the dome camera and keyboard controller termination.

2.8 Multiplexer Configuration

Duplex setup:

NOTE: Multiplexers to be controlled by the keyboard controller require a new ROM version. The new

multiplexer ROM accepts control instructions from the keyboard controller. If your multiplexer’s serial
number is M104xxxx or higher, then it is ready to accept control instructions. Alternately, you can check the
status of your multiplexer by pressing the Menu key of the multiplexer and then selecting item 9. If you see
the “** Protocol” option line in the Communication Setup menu, your multiplexer has the new ROM, and
you do not need to replace the ROM. If your multiplexer has the old ROM version, contact your distributor
on how to get new a ROM.

CAUTION: Before opening the multiplexer, make certain you are working on an antistatic work

surface and that you are wearing a grounding wrist strap. Also, be very careful to
orient the ROM chip correctly and not bend any of the pins.

NOTE: Replace the multiplexer firmware with the new multiplexer ROM (U45) as follows;
Remove the top cover of the multiplexer, and locate the ROM (U45). Before removing the ROM,

note the orientation of the ROM. After removing the old ROM from the socket, insert the new ROM.
Be careful to orient the new ROM the same as the old ROM.
(Refer to the multiplexer instruction manual.)

13

Set the multiplexer functions as follows:

(Press the Menu key of the multiplexer to enter the Unit Options menu.)

9 Unit Options
Unit Number: 001 (first Mux) or 002 (second Mux)

Communication Type: RS 485
Baud rate: 9600 bps
PORT: ON

** Protocol:** B (If you see this line, the multiplexer has the new ROM)

** The old ROM version does not show Protocol selection option.
Multiplexer alarm inputs will function normally, but the Dome controller has no way of knowing about alarms
wired to the Multiplexer. If a Dome preset is required for such an alarm, you must connect the same alarm
input to both the multiplexer and Dome.

Key while navigating using the joystick. (ENTER+Joystick)

Triplexer : Push the Joystick upward with the ENTER pressed ENTER+Joystick )will show the

Mux menu.
It will act like a mouse. Rotating the handle clockwise will act like the set key of the

multiplexer. Rotating counterclockwise will act like the ESC key of the Multiplexer.

Selecting multiplexer (Mux ID No. + MUX)

Multiplexer.

6.2.2 Dome Camera Selection

Selecting camera (No. + CAM)

With these selections, the keyboard controller has full control of the selected camera if it is a dome camera.
