1	Getting Started
	Install and wire the AutoDome according to the VG5 AutoDome Installation Manual. A typical
	system includes a keyboard, matrix switcher, monitor, and appropriate wiring connections.
	Please refer to the individual product manuals for complete installation and setup instructions
	for each of the system components.
1.1	Powering On
	When you turn the AutoDome power on there is a ten (10) second pause before the dome
	starts its homing phase. During the homing phase the camera pans left and right and tilts up
	and down. It also adjusts the lens focus. The entire homing phase lasts approximately 40
	seconds and ends with a splash screen.

The splash screen displays the type of AutoDome, the camera installed, the firmware levels for various files, and the current IP address (for VG5 AutoDome 700 Series models).

1.2	Establishing AutoDome Control

The most common ways to interface with the AutoDome are:

–Using a keyboard and on-screen display (OSD) menus. This method is the most common and is covered in this manual.

–Using the AutoDome Configuration Tool software running on a PC with Bilinx or the RS232/485 communication protocol. Refer to the CTFID User Manual for instructions.

–Using a PC-based graphical user interface (GUI) such as the Bosch DiBos 8 software. Refer to the DiBos 8 User Guide for instructions.
