3 Connections

The CTFID is supplied with a VP-USB adaptor that plugs into any USB-compliant port
supported by a Windows® operating system. Once the CTFID software is loaded, the adaptor
communicates over the video signal from any Bilinx-enabled camera or AutoDome.
There are three (3) possible connection types to link the CTFID software to the imaging
device. The first two (2) choices communicate via coax using the Bilinx protocol. These two
(2) choices connect to either the USB or serial COMM port of the PC. The third choice is
direct RS-232 connection between the PC COMM port and the imaging device (AutoDome
only).

3.1 Connecting the VP-USB Configuration Tool

It is recommended that the CTFID software be installed prior to connecting the hardware to
the USB port. Refer to Section 2 Installing the CTFID, page 6 for additional information.
To see the device output, use a CCTV monitor with looping inputs or a T connector (not
provided) for the coaxial cable, and plug the second coaxial cable into the CCTV monitor.
Ensure that the monitor is either auto-terminating or is set to low impedance. See Figure 3.1
for an example of a typical CCTV monitor’s connections.

7 Typical CCTV monitor

Connecting the VP-USB Configuration Tool to Your PC

1. Insert the Configuration Tool USB cable into a USB port on your computer. The other end
of the USB cable is permanently attached to the Configuration Tool hardware.

2. Connect the coax from the VP-USB to the male connection of the BNC “T” connector.

3. Connect a coaxial cable to the input of the monitor.

4. Connect the other end of the monitor’s coaxial cable into one of the female connections
on the BNC “T” connector.

5. Connect the coax from the camera to the other female connection of the BNC “T”
connector.

3.2 Connecting the VP-RS2BLNX Configuration Tool

It is recommended that the CTFID software be installed prior to connecting the hardware to
the serial port. Refer to Section 2 Installing the CTFID, page 6 for additional information.
To see the device output, use a CCTV monitor. Plug the coax connected to the imaging device
to one of the BNC connectors of the VP-RS2BLNX. Connect another coax between the second
BNC connector and the CCTV monitor. Ensure that the monitor is either auto-terminating or is
set to low impedance. See Figure 3.3 for an example of a typical CCTV monitor’s connections.

Connecting the VP-RS2BLNX Configuration Tool to Your PC

1. Pin 1 and 2 of the terminal block are for the connections for the external power supply
not provided. The external power supply should be either 12-28 VAC (50/60 Hz) or 12­40 VDC (polarity independent). Galvanically insulated from video, RS-232 ground and
encasing.

NOTICE! The Serial to Bilinx converter interface shall be supplied by a self-limited power
source of less than 15 VA. Reinforced insulation is provided between input and output by
safety transformer and distances on the PCB. USA/Canada: The Serial to Bilinx converter is a
product for INDOOR use. It is intended for use with a UL-listed Class 2 power supply.

2. Connect a cable between the terminal block of the VP-RS2BLNX Configuration Tool to
the serial port on the computer. Refer to the pin out table below for the proper

settings are automatically downloaded upon connection. Click the Save button to display the
Save As dialog box. Navigate to the folder where the file is to be saved. Name the file and click
OK. In Offline mode, open the configuration file you saved.

2. Navigate to the setting(s) you want to change. For example, to change the Max Gain
Level on an AutoDome Security Camera, navigate to the Offline Configuration window,
Camera Setting Group 1.

3. Move the Max Gain Level slide from 2 to 6.

4. Click the check box(es) in the Select column.

5. Click the Upload or Download Configuration button.
A confirmation dialog box opens to confirm that you want to replace the selected settings
in the offline configuration file with the specific current device settings. Only the selected
settings are uploaded or downloaded.

6. Click Yes to begin uploading or downloading the settings. Since this can be a lengthy
operation, depending on the number of configuration changes made, a progress bar is
displayed at the bottom of the window to indicate the progress status of the operation
(see Figure 5.2).

7. A confirmation message is displayed.

NOTICE! If you have a number of devices that require the same change of settings, you can
move from device to device, leaving the application open and uploading or downloading the
same Select settings from the Offline mode configuration file. The Select check boxes are
NOT saved when you save and close the configuration file.

5.5 Migrating Configuration Settings

The Migration feature allows an operator to download the configuration settings of one
AutoDome then upload those settings to another AutoDome. This feature ensures that the
settings of each AutoDome in a surveillance system are configured the same way.
The CTFID saves downloaded settings in a configuration file (.ctm) on the operator’s
computer. To upload the settings stored in the .ctm file, the operator connects another
AutoDome to the computer that contains the CTFID application and has access to the
configuration file. Next, the operator uses the Migration upload utility to copy the settings in
the configuration file to the AutoDome.
Note: Migration is available for transferring settings only between AutoDomes. If you attempt
to migrate settings between an AutoDome and another imaging device or between two non­AutoDome imaging devices, the CTFID relays a message that the imaging devices are
incompatible.

1. Connect an AutoDome to a computer that contains the CTFID application.
Ensure that you can connect this computer to the AutoDome that is to upload the
configuration settings.

2. Launch the CTFID application on a computer that you can connect to different
AutoDomes.

3. Configure the offline or online settings for the AutoDome using the CTFID main screen.

4. Click the Migration button.

Figure 5.6 Migration window

5. Select the Download radio button and click OK.
The CTFID collects the parameters for each AutoDome setting, then opens the Save As
dialog box.

6. Navigate to the directory in which you want to store the configuration file (.ctm).

7. Type a name for the file in the File name input box and click Save.
You return to the CTFID main screen.

8. Disconnect the AutoDome from the computer.

9. Connect the AutoDome that is to upload the settings to the computer.

10. Launch the CTFID application and ensure that the tool connects to the AutoDome.

7 Troubleshooting

The following section details information to confirm that the CTFID application is properly
functioning.

7.1 Confirm System Connection between the PC and the Device

When the Configuration Software is started, the application automatically detects and
connects to the attached device. The Online Configuration button is enabled when a
connected device is detected. Settings for that device should download into the application.

To confirm that the device is connected to the application on the PC:

1. Verify that you are in Online mode (the Online Configuration button should have a yellow
background).

2. Verify that the Connection Status Indicator icon (displayed in the System Feedback area)
indicates that a connection has been made.

If the application is not detecting a connected device:

1. Check the device to ensure that it is working properly.

2. Verify that there are no loose connections between the Configuration Tool hardware and
the PC and the Configuration Tool hardware and the device.

3. Verify that the green light on the Configuration Tool hardware is illuminated.

4. If necessary, disconnect the Configuration Tool hardware from the PC and reconnect it.

5. Review the Status text box in the System Feedback section (lower text box in the main
screen). If the application is connected to a device, download confirmation messages are
displayed.

Figure 7.1 Online configuration window, status text box

7.2 Device Error

If you attempt to open a file that has been configured for a different device, a warning
message is displayed. Click OK and open a file that has been correctly configured.
