Important Safeguards

1. Read, Follow, and Retain Instructions - All safety

and operating instructions should be read and followed before operating the unit. Retain instructions for future reference.

2. Heed Warnings - Adhere to all warnings on the unit

and in the operating instructions.

3. Attachments - Attachments not recommended by the

product manufacturer should not be used, as they may cause hazards.

4. Installation Cautions - Do not place this unit on an

unstable stand, tripod, bracket, or mount. The unit may fall, causing serious injury to a person and serious damage to the unit. Use only manufacturerrecommended accessories, or those sold with the product. Mount the unit per the manufacturer's instructions. Appliance and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, or uneven surfaces may cause the appliance and cart combination to overturn.

5. Cleaning - Unplug the unit from the outlet before

cleaning. Follow any instructions provided with the unit. Generally, using a damp cloth for cleaning is sufficient. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners.

6. Servicing - Do not attempt to service this unit

yourself. Opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

7. Damage Requiring Service - Unplug the unit from

the main AC power source and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:

•When the power supply cord or plug is damaged.

• If liquid has been spilled or an object has fallen into the unit.

• If the unit has been exposed to water and/or inclement weather (rain, snow, etc.).

• If the unit does not operate normally, when following the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls specified in the operating instructions. Improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage, and require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the unit to normal operation.

• If the unit has been dropped or the cabinet damaged.

• If the unit exhibits a distinct change in performance, this indicates that service is needed.

8. Replacement Parts - When replacement parts are

required, the service technician should use replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or that have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electrical shock or other hazards.

9. Safety Check - Upon completion of servicing or

repairs to the unit, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to ensure proper operating condition.

10. Power Sources - Operate the unit only from the type

of power source indicated on the label. If unsure of the type of power supply to use, contact your dealer or local power company.

•For units intended to operate from battery power, refer to the operating instructions.

•For units intended to operate with External Power Supplies, use only the recommended approved power supplies.

•For units intended to operate with a limited power source, this power source must comply with EN60950. Substitutions may damage the unit or cause fire or shock.

•For units intended to operate at 24VAC, normal input voltage is 24VAC. Voltage applied to the unit's power input should not exceed 30VAC. User-supplied wiring, from the 24VAC supply to unit, must be in compliance with electrical codes (Class 2 power levels). Do not ground the 24VAC supply at the terminals or at the unit's power supply terminals.

11. Coax Grounding - If an outside cable system is

connected to the unit, ensure that the cable system is grounded. U.S.A. models only - Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No.70, provides information regarding proper grounding of the mount and supporting structure, grounding of the coax to a discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.

12. Grounding or Polarization - This unit may be

equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug with one blade wider than the other). This safety feature allows the plug to fit into the power outlet in only one way. If unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug still fails to fit, contact an electrician to arrange replacement of the obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug. Alternately, this unit may be equipped with a 3-wire grounding plug (a plug with a third pin, for grounding). This safety feature allows the plug to fit into a grounding power outlet only. If unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact an electrician to arrange replacement of the obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding plug.

13. Lightning - For added protection during a lightning

storm, or when this unit is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug the unit from the wall outlet and disconnect the cable system. This will prevent damage to the unit due to lightning and power line surges.

LTC 2600 Series | Instruction Manual | Introduction

Bosch Security Systems | July 12, 2004

1INTRODUCTION

1.1 Command Console Language (CCL)

The Command Console Language is used to control functions of the System4 multiplexer system through the use of its integral RS-232C port. A personal computer (dumb terminal) may be used to communicate with the System4 video controller. Various system functions may be controlled including: video switching, mode display, actions, alarms, and receiver/driver functions.

Once on-line, the CCL command prompt should appear from the connected system. If the prompt is not present, pressing ENTER (or sending carriage return character 0D hex) should bring the prompt up. The prompt will look as follows: LTC26XX>

All commands should be entered only when this prompt is present unless otherwise specified. Typically, a single command per line is entered, but multiple commands may be entered if desired. Multiple commands on the same line must be separated using a semicolon (;) and can not exceed a maximum of 126 characters (including spaces). All command lines must be followed by a carriage return character (0D hex).

Command syntax is very important. CCL commands are very SPACE sensitive and should be entered exactly as indicated. All text commands contain a space between the text and the associated data values (unless indicated otherwise). A space is also inserted between multiple data values within a command (e.g. a list of camera numbers).

NOTE: This manual is intended for use by qualified programmers who are familiar with the use and terminology of the LTC 2600 Series System4Video Multiplexers. This manual is organized so that information on individual commands can be located quickly and easily. Commands are organized by type in sections (see the Table of Contents), with each section providing a summary table and an alphabetical listing of commands. Definitions, syntax, and examples are provided for each command. Please refer to the Operator's Manual provided with the LTC 2600 Series Multiplexer for complete details on the system functions relating to the CCL commands described in this manual.

3 CCL Communication Protocol

Port Configuration

As the System4 multiplexer is shipped from the factory, the CONSOLE port communication protocols are set according to the following figures. These settings can be changed by using the appropriate general command as listed in this manual (SET RS-232).

Baud Rate = 9600 Stop Bits = 1 Data Bits = 8 Parity = none

The 9-pin CONSOLE port is located on the rear panel of the multiplexer and has pinouts as indicated below. If the handshake feature is enabled but not desired, the signals can be defeated by placing a jumper across pins 4 and 5 of the CONSOLE port mating connector. If a jumper is added, remove any other cable connections on these two pins.

CONSOLE Port Pinouts

Pin # Function 1 Chassis Ground 2 Receive 3Transmit 4CTS 5RTS 6 No Connection 7 Data Ground 8 No Connection 9 No Connection

A CONSOLE port to standard 9-pin PC serial port cable is available by ordering Bosch Part Number S1385.

LTC 2600 Series | Instruction Manual | Introduction

Bosch Security Systems | July 12, 2004

CONSOLE Cable Pinouts

Conditions for Proper Command Execution

The LTC 2600 multiplexer will accept and execute CCL commands only when the multiplexer is not involved in a system reset and the front panel keypad is not in use. Commands sent under these conditions will be ignored and will produce one of the following error messages: ERROR: Console Command ignored; Multiplexer is

resetting.

ERROR: Console Command ignored; Multiplexer local

front panel keypad is in use, or timing out.

When the programming menu is being used by a system operator, the multiplexer will remain under the operator's control until the menu is exited.

CAUTION: There are two important exceptions to the rules of protocol as stated in this section: the RESETSYSTEM and DEFAULT commands will be executed whenever received. Using the DEFAULT command will cause the loss of all previously entered user settings.

When a CCL command is received that contains an error in its format or parameter values, a descriptive message (as to the nature of the error) will be sent to the console. The execution of the CCL command will be aborted at the point of the error or illegal parameter value. Following are some sample error messages:

Illegal Command Message: MS-ALARM-CAPTURE 1 (illegal capture time value)

Error Message: ERROR: CAPTURE TIME (must be 0 (off), or 3 to 60 seconds.)

3.1 CCL Command Formats

The LTC 2600 Series Command Console Language contains commands which control the operation of the multiplexer specifically (e.g. starting and stopping encoding, etc.), as well as commands that generally apply to the whole system's operation (e.g. setting system time and date information, etc.) Commands that apply only to the multiplexer operation use an M prefix, usually in combination with other prefixes which further specify the command function (see the following descriptions). Commands that are general in nature do not use a prefix.

Prefix Description M (Multiplexer) Indicates the command is a

multiplexer-specific command.

S (Select) Indicates the command selects or sets

a multiplexer system parameter.

R (Read) Indicates the command is requesting

that the multiplexer respond with the value of its setting. Note that dashes (-), if shown, must be used in the command line.

Prefix combinations used in the LTC 2600 Series CCL include MS and MR (examples provided here for reference).

MS Command Examples

Multiplexer Set commands are used to set (or select) a specific multiplexer operating function.

MS-ACTION-CAPTURE (time)

This command sets the action capture time by allowing you to specify that parameter (from 3 to 60 seconds) where (time) is shown in the command syntax.

LTC 2600 Series | Instruction Manual | Introduction

Bosch Security Systems | July 12, 2004

NOTE: Some MS commands require that a 16-position (bit) table be entered as the value of the parameter that is being set--e.g. MS-ALARM-ENABLE (Table 16). An example of how to complete this syntax is provided below.

MS-ALARM-ENABLE 65535 (If decimal entry mode is being used)

MS-ALARM-ENABLE FFFF (If hexadecimal entry mode is being used)

Either of these commands enables Alarms 1 through 16 by specifying a value that represents a 16 position (bit) table having all bits set to 1 (1 Enables an Alarm, 0 Disables an Alarm). An illustration of how the table values are specified (binary equivalent), and additional examples, are shown in Table 16.

Alarm No.: 16 15 14 13 12 11 10 987654321 Position (Bit) #:

(000F hex) 0000000000001111

Table 16

MR Command Examples

Multiplexer Read commands are used to acquire the current settings of a multiplexer which has been set up through its local front panel keypad or by CCL commands. When an MR command is sent, the multiplexer responds in the following format with the requested data:

• The data is preceded by a space, colon, and a space on the same line as the command.

•Multiple items of data are separated by spaces.

•Text data is surrounded by double quotes.

•Numeric data is always returned as a decimal number, even if the HEX command has selected hexadecimal entry of numeric values.

• An ENTER (return) ends the data.

NOTE: The responses are shown in the following examples:

MR-ACTION-CAPTURE: 10 Returned time of 10 seconds.

MR-VCR-ENCODE-LIST: 1 2 10 11 12 16 5 Returned camera numbers in the VCR encode list.

MR-CAM-TITLE 1: LOBBY CAMERA

Returned text of the title for camera 1.

General Command Examples

General commands are used to set or read parameters relating to general system functions. These commands do not use any prefixes in their syntax.

SET-RS-232 (baud) (data bits) (parity) (stop bits) (handshake) With specific numeric values assigned for

the parameters in parentheses, this command sets the RS-232 communication protocol.

DATE

Displays system date information.

3.2 CCL Command Function

CCL commands correspond by function to the multiplexer menu selections used during keypad entry of the same settings. Some multiplexer menu selections do not have a corresponding CCL command, since the same capability is provided by another CCL command (e.g. there are no Disable All Alarms or Enable All Alarms CCL commands because the single MSALARM-ENABLE CCL command allows the operator to enable none, all, or any specific alarms.)

Similarly, when a front panel keypad entry of Disable All Alarms or Enable All Alarms is read back using an MR command, it will be reflected in the value of the returned Table 16 value (e.g. Disable All Alarms is read back as a 0, Enable All Alarms is read back as 65535). Alarm Enable, Action Enable, and Video Color Enable all have front panel keypad entry Disable All/Enable All options, and will function likewise.

Numeric values in the command descriptions in the following sections in this manual assume the DECIMAL entry mode has been selected. Where hexadecimal values are also given, they are designated (hex).

Camera numbers referenced in the commands always refer to the numbers marked on the rear panel of the multiplexer. Camera numbers displayed on the monitor(s) can be offset from the rear panel numbers by using the MS-CAM-NUMBER command.

4.2 Detailed Descriptions of MS Commands

MS-ACTION-ALARM-RELAY <responds to> <polarity>

NOTE: This command controls Relay 1 only.

This command allows you to set the action/alarm contacts to close on any action or alarm and change the multiplexer encoding speed to the action/alarm recording speed set by the MS-VCR-TI ME -LAPSE command.

Parameter values for <responds to> and <polarity> are as follows: <responds to> 0 Neither (never activates>

1 Relay activates on action 2 Relay activates on alarm 3 Relay activates on action or

alarm

<polarity> 0 Normally open (N/O)

1Normally closed (N/C)

CAUTION: Before making connections to the action/alarm relay contacts, refer to the LTC 2600 Series Video Multiplexer Instruction Manual for relay contact ratings.

MS-ACTION-BEEPER <boolean> This command enables or disables the beeper when an action condition is present. Parameter values are: 0 Disabled

1 Enabled

MS-ACTION-CAPTURE <time> This command allows you to set a specified duration (from 3 to 60 seconds) for system indications of an action condition.

Parameter values for <time> are any value from <3> to <60> seconds.

NOTE: If a value less than <3> is entered (i.e. <0>…<2>), the value will automatically be set to 3 seconds.

MS-ACTION-CLEAR <camera map> This command clears the action status of the multiplexer. For each bit which is 1 <camera map>, the action status will be cleared.

NOTE: The <camera map> consists of a 16-bit map with a bit for each camera in the multiplexer. The least significant bit corresponds to camera 1; the most significant bit corresponds to camera 16. A set bit corresponds to an enabled or active camera, depending on the contact.

MS-ACTION-ENABLE <table 16> This command enables multiplexer action detectors corresponding to the values specified in a 16-position (bit) table. The value in each position of the table corresponds to the state of a specific action detector (a value of 1 enables the action detector; a value of 0 disables the action detector).

Parameter values for <table 16> range from <0> to <65535> (decimal) OR <0> to <FFFF> hex.

EXAMPLE: To enable ONLY Action Detectors 1-4, a value of 15 decimal (000F hex) is used for <table 16>.
