1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 The MOBOTIX Concept

Megapixel Technology with Zoom, Tilt and Panning

With its high resolution of 1.3 M pixels and its true color imaging system, the MOBOTIX camera attains a resolution that is twelve times as high as on analog video systems that are commonly using CIF format. MOBOTIX also supports three digital zoom levels, tilting and panning.

Low Bandwidth Requirements

MOBOTIX' patent pending MxPEG streaming format allows fast live video with audio at extremely low network load (1 to 2 Mbps). Since the MOBOTIX camera itself detects movements in the image, video is only transmitted if movements occur and the video and audio data need to be stored.

Voice over IP and ISDN

MOBOTIX MxPEG video streaming format includes realtime audio and intercom features. Room surveillance with audio is possible using Internet Explorer. Alarm notification on your mobile is as easy as event-controlled voice messages directly from the camera.

Long-Term Storage Included

MOBOTIX cameras have an integrated long-term storage system for Linux, Windows and Mac OS X computers. Thanks to the decentralized approach, 30 live cameras can store images on a regular Pentium 4-class computer with 25 fps

each, including audio (these values may vary with the operating system).

30 Live Cameras Using MxViewer

The free Windows application for viewing up to 30 MOBOTIX cameras with audio now features an integrated layout editor for quick assembly of building plans—using full drag&drop support for positioning the live camera images. Load a floor plan as background image, drag&drop the cameras—done.

Event or Time-controlled

Just like event-controlled recording upon detecting movements in the image, the camera can also record when the volume picked up by the microphone exceeds a set trigger value. Using scheduled recording, time tasks can start and stop recording, uploading of images to a web site or sending of e-mails while running special programs on weekends and holidays.

Remote Alert Popup

In case of an alarm, MOBOTIX cameras automatically pop up windows or activate other functions at a remote security control center. The cameras can use network, ISDN or Internet connections for this purpose.

Page 9

Day & Night

The MOBOTIX/Night models with two image sensors (color and B/W) deliver brilliant color images during the day and crisp B/W images at night. Depending on the illumination, the cameras switch lenses automatically.

Weatherproof

MOBOTIX cameras (Outdoor models) are certified according to IP65 and are designed for outdoor as well as indoor usage. As the cameras do not have any moving parts, they are extremely robust and resistant against heat or cold (-30°F to +60°C; -22°F to +140°F).

Secure and Flexible Installation Using the SecureFlex Wall Mount

The SecureFlex wall mount provides for easy mounting of the Outdoor models to a wall or a ceiling and also allows pointing the camera into virtually any direction. The concealed cabling improves security; it covers RJ45 wall outlets and enhances the visual impression of the installation. The SecureFlex wall mount is a standard accessory of all Secure Outdoor models and available as optional accessory for all other M10 Outdoor models.

Logos, Animated or Freestyle

The Logo generator of the MOBOTIX camera allows integrating different banners and graphics into the current camera images—with optional scheduler control. MOBOTIX cameras are the only cameras supporting animated and transparent graphics.

• Phone Call-In via ISDN or IP telephony to remotely control the camera using a touchtone telephone (retrieve camera information, establish an Internet connection, announcement of retrieved IP address, intercom feature, etc.).

• MxPEG video compression using MOBOTIX MxViewer. The ActiveX plug-in for Internet Explorer users brings all advantages of MxPEG (including the camera's audio stream) to the browser-based user interface (only on Windows computers).

• Routing allows using other connections besides the default connection. This feature provides ways and means to use different gateways and ISDN connections for different tasks (IT and Secure models).

• DynDNS client for accessing the camera using a symbolic name (e.g. mymobotixcam.dyndns.org) although the provider is assigning a new IP address every time the camera connects to the Internet.

• Backup operating system automatically takes over when rebooting the camera after updating the system software has failed, allowing you to restart the update process.

• Enhanced startup options for the camera (obtain IP address via DHCP, announcement of IP address and other network data, reset to factory default settings).

1.4 Important Notes

1.4.1 Password for the Administration Menu

The administration area of the camera (Admin Menu button) is protected by a user name and password:

• User name is admin

• Password is meinsm

Enter the user name and password exactly as shown above. Note that both entries are case-sensitive. When accessing the administration menu for the first time, the Quick Installation wizard will help you set the most important parameters that are relevant for your requirements. For security reasons, it is highly recommended to

change the adminstrator password after the camera has been configured properly.

1.4.2 Password for ISDN Dial-In

Dialing into the camera via ISDN is protected by a separate password. When setting up a dial-in connection from a computer, you need to provide this information:

• User name is linux

• Password is tux

Enter the user name and password exactly as shown above. Note that both entries are case-sensitive.

1.4.3 Permanently Deactivating the Microphone

Deactivating a camera's microphone may become necessary in order to protect the privacy of people at a workplace or for other reasons. You can permanently and irreversibly deactivate the microphone in the Admin Menu > Loudspeaker

and Microphone dialog.

www.mobotix.com • sales@mobotix.com • 3.5.2006

10/64

M10 Camera Manual Part 1

Administration menu: User: admin Password: meinsm

ISDN Dial-in User: linux Password: tux

CAUTION: Make sure that you store information on user names and passwords in a secure place. In case you loose the administrator password and cannot access the Admin menu, the password can only be reset at the factory. This service is not free!

CAUTION: This deactivation is permanent and cannot be reversed even by MOBOTIX engineers. Deactivating the microphone will also deactivate all features that use the camera's microphone.

Page 13

1.4.4 Starting the Camera Using the Factory IP Address

If the camera's IP address is not known any more, you can start the camera with its factory IP address. Section 3.6,

Starting the Camera Using the Factory IP Address

describes this procedure in more detail.

1.4.5 Resetting the Camera to Factory Defaults

All settings of the MOBOTIX camera can be reset permanently to the factory default settings. This makes sense if you have, for example, obtained a camera without any information or you would like to reset all settings after testing the camera. In order to perform this procedure, you need to have access to the administration area of the camera (Admin rights). Open Admin Menu > Reset … to reset the camera to factory defaults.

Note: In contrast to the method described in section 1.4.4,

Starting the Camera

Using the Factory IP Address

, all users (except the admin user) will be deleted when resetting the camera to factory defaults. Likewise, the admin user's password will be reset.

1.4.6 Activating Event Control for Security Applications

In its default state, the camera's event control and video motion detection features are not enabled. In order to activate event control as a whole, open Setup

Menu > General Event Settings and activate the Arming switch or click on the Arm & Record softbutton of the browser interface. The video motion detection win-

dow is visible again (dotted frame in the center of the live image) and the camera stores images as soon as the video motion window detects movements.

1.4.7 Deactivating Text and Logo Options

As the camera arming has been deactivated as per factory default (see preceding section), the MOBOTIX camera only displays the Text WWW.MOBOTIX.COM, the time stamp and the MOBOTIX logo at the top of the image. Once the camera arming has been activated, the texts at the bottom of the live image (event, action and messaging symbols) will also appear.

If the camera is armed, you can deactivate the status text at the bottom and the text at the top left corner of the live image by setting Text Display in the Setup Menu > Text & Display Settings dialog to

Off

. Setting Text Display to

Date & Time

will only display the time stamp in the live image. In order to hide the logo in the live image, open Admin Menu > Logo Profiles and set Logo Display to

Disable

1.4.8 Deactivating the Daily Reboot of the Camera

In its factory state, the MOBOTIX camera will automatically reboot every morning at 3:36 am. In very rare cases, external influences (e.g. radiation in high locations) can lead to camera malfunctions. The automatic reboot will refresh the camera's memory and will ensure proper operation without requiring any interaction on the part of the user.

task. This will prevent the camera from rebooting automatically.

1.4.9 ISDN Compatibility Note

This product is compatible with Euro ISDN standard TBR3/TBR 3A1.

Note: MOBOTIX offers special models for the Japanese market that support the

Japanese ISDN standard. For additional information on this topic, see the Japanese section at www.mobotix.com.

1.4.10Browser Hints

Current browsers with activated JavaScript (Internet Explorer, Netscape, Mozilla, Firefox, Safari, Konqueror, Opera, …) can show the camera's live images with their standard settings. Text-based browsers (e.g. lynx) cannot display the user interface and are

not

suitable for operating the camera.

Section 4.8,

Browser Settings

, contains more information on browser compatibility.

Chapter 12,

Troubleshooting

, contains more information on how to track and

remove errors when operating the camera.

1.4.11 Safety Notes for Operating MOBOTIX Cameras

Electrical surges can be induced by other electrical appliances, improper wiring, but also from the outside (e.g. lightning strikes in phone or power lines).

MOBOTIX cameras are protected against small electrical surges by numerous measures. These measures, however, cannot prevent the camera from being damaged when stronger electrical surges occur.

Special care should be taken when installing the camera outside of buildings for

protection against lightning, since this also protects the building and the whole

network infrastructure.

MOBOTIX recommends having MOBOTIX cameras installed only by specialists accustomed to installing network devices and having proper respect for the pertinent regulations regarding lightning protection and fire prevention as well as the current technology for preventing damages from electrical surges.

Section 2.10,

Wiring, Fire Prevention, Lightning and Surge Protection

, contains more

information on these topics.

2.4.2 Finishing the Installation

All MOBOTIX M10 Outdoor models are IP65-certified. For outdoor use with the ball joint mount, MOBOTIX supplies a rubber protector (item 3) for the cameras, which prevents water from entering the camera along the cabling. At the same time, it allows the camera to “breathe” and prevents condensation water from accumulating.

Make sure to attach the supplied hinged ferrites to all data cables (ISDN/Ethernet/ RS232). Genuine MOBOTIX power supplies are already delivered with an integrated ferrite!

Mounting the rubber protector and the hinged ferrites

• Insert three-pronged pliers to hold the hole of the “leg” open.

• Insert one cable (with the connector) through the leg's hole in the rubber protector.

• Attach a hinged ferrite (item 6) to every cable (Ethernet, ISDN, RS232; max. distance to connector 5 cm/2"). Make sure that the hinged ferrite snaps shut completely.

• Insert the cables into the appropriate connectors of the camera.

• Pull the rubber protector over the camera's collar at the bottom.

• Attach the cable ties around the "legs" of the rubber protector to prevent the cables from being pulled out.

• Now firmly attach one cable tie around the camera collar to prevent the rubber protector from slipping off the camera.

3 OPERATING THE CAMERA

3.1 General Remarks on Operating the Camera

The MOBOTIX camera does not require any software installation; all you need is your preferred browser with JavaScript support to operate the camera. Thus, the MOBOTIX camera is supported by all common operating systems (such as Win-

dows, Macintosh and Linux, ...).

3.1.1 Establishing the Power Supply of the Camera

You can choose between the following options:

• External power supply and Network Power Adapter (NPA, Power over

Ethernet)*: Power is supplied via the Ethernet cable using the NPA

(recommended, max. length 100 m/110 yd).

• ISDN cable: If the ISDN NT (network termination device) is also supplying power (connect power supply of NT to power outlet).

• Network cable (power over Ethernet): When using the MOBOTIX 19"

Netpower* unit to supply power via the network cable.

3.1.2 Setting the Connection Method

The camera has been set at the factory to support the following connection methods:

• ISDN interface of the camera: From a computer with ISDN card using a RAS connection (linux/tux), launch a browser and enter the IP address printed on the camera label (e.g. 10.1.0.99).

• Ethernet interface of the camera (10 Mbps Ethernet): Directly from a computer (using a crossover cable) or from a Network Power Adapter or a switch using a regular patch cable, launch a browser and enter the IP address printed on the camera label (e.g.

10.1.0.99).

If your network does not support a Class A network (i.e. 10.x.x.x), your PC or laptop will have to be set temporarily to such a network address. For operating systems that allow multi-homing (Windows 2000, Windows XP, Linux, Mac OS X), you can set a second IP address in the 10.x.x.x network.

Once a connection has been established, click on the Admin Menu button to start configuring the camera. The Admin Menu controls all network settings (IP address, netmask, DHCP, etc.), ISDN behavior and other options.

After first booting the camera or after resetting it to factory defaults, any access to the administration menu (Admin Menu button) will start the Quick Installation.

This wizard will guide you through the most important settings (configuration of the network and ISDN interfaces, etc.) of the camera and can also be used to reset the camera to its factory settings.

It is recommended to use Admin Menu > Quick Installation later on as well, e.g. if you would like to change or add connection methods.

• Administration and setup of the camera

Basic configuration tasks of the camera (e.g. passwords, interfaces, software updates) are carried out from the administration menu (Admin Menu button), which requires the corresponding access rights (

admins

group).

Open the Setup Menu (button) and find the dialogs for changing the image, event and recording settings in the Image Control and Event Control sections. These options are also available for users belonging to the

users

group.

Some of these settings can be changed using the corresponding pull-down menus above the image on the Live screen.

• The image settings are already optimized

The factory image settings of the MOBOTIX camera deliver excellent images for most of the application scenarios and should not be changed; if changes are necessary, the adjustments should be minimal. If you would like to reset changes without resetting the complete configuration to factory defaults, you can use the Factory button at the bottom of the dialog to reset only this dialog's settings. If you would like to reset all image settings, you may do so using the Manage Settings > Restore Image Settings pull-down menu above the image on the Live screen.

• All changes are temporary

3.3.3 ISDN and Ethernet

In order to use ISDN and Ethernet simultaneously, plug the ISDN and Ethernet cables into the corresponding connectors of the camera. Power is supplied using either the ISDN cable (from the NT device) or the Ethernet cable and the Network

Power Adapter (Power over Ethernet).

3.3.4 Camera Startup Sequence

As soon as the camera's power supply has been established, the six LEDs will show the progress of the starting sequence:

• Hardware test: Two seconds after the power has been connected, all LEDs will light up for one second. The camera's computer (boot loader) checks the camera hardware.

• Unpacking the OS: The boot loader unpacks the operating system from the Flash EPROM and copies it to the camera's memory (the lower LED lights up for about 4 seconds).

• Starting the OS: The Linux operating system unpacks its data to the ramdisk and initializes the system. All operating system components are verified against their checksums in order to detect changes. In case of an error, the camera will start using the backup operating system instead.

• Starting the applications: Once the application software has been started, the LEDs in the middle will blink (if they have not been switched off for this configuration). You can now access the camera using your browser.

3.4 The First Image from the Camera

Once the ISDN connection (see section 3.4.1,

Preparing the ISDN Connection

) or the

Ethernet connection has been established (see section 3.4.2,

Preparing the Ether-

net Connection

), you have the following possibilities to get the first image from the

camera:

• Direct access using a browser (section 3.4.4,

The First Image in the Browser

)

• Display the camera using MxViewer (free Windows client for MOBOTIX cameras; section 3.4.7,

The First Image in MxViewer

)

Open the browser-based user interface of the camera to complete the remaining configuration tasks (see section 4.3,

The Live Screen in the Browser

, in the

Software

Manual

3.4.1 Preparing the ISDN Connection

Your computer has to have a properly configured ISDN card to establish a connection. If your network has an ISDN router, contact your network administrator for more information.

(1) Create a new Point-to-Point connection

(PPP) on your computer.

(2) Enter linux as user name and tux as

password.

(3) Enter the phone number (a free MSN) of

the ISDN port to which you connected the camera. If your computer is connected to an internal telephone system, make sure that you enter the prefix that is required to obtain an outside line.

The MOBOTIX camera can automatically determine the MSN (see section 5.2.2,

Quick Installation Pages in Detail

(4) Establish the connection.

By factory default, the camera will react to every MSN of an ISDN port (you may change this in Admin Menu > ISDN Connections).

3.4.2 Preparing the Ethernet Connection

For this example, we will use a camera with the factory IP address 10.1.0.99.

Replace this IP address with the IP address of your camera. You will find this

address on a small sticker on the camera. Accessing the camera is always the same and is independent of the connection type: simply enter the camera's IP address in the address field of the browser (see section 3.4.2,

The First Image in

the Browser

Your computer has to have a network or a wireless interface, and it should be in the same subnet as the camera. If your network also uses IP addresses of a class A network (e.g. 10.x.x.x, network mask 255.0.0.0), you should be able to access the camera directly (provided no other network device uses the same IP address).

Determine the IP address of your computer:

• Open a command shell (Windows) or a terminal (Linux/UNIX/ OS X) and enter the following command:

Windows 2000/XP: ipconfig Linux/UNIX/OS X: ifconfig

You will find the IP address of your Windows computer under IP address; for Linux/ UNIX/OS X computers, search for the inet address parameter of the eth0 device (the first network interface). If your computer does not use an IP address in the

10.x.x.x range, you should change or expand the network configuration of your computer (see below).

Make sure that no other network device uses the camera's IP address:

• Open a command shell (Windows) or a terminal (Linux/UNIX/OS X) and enter the following command:

ping <factory IP address>

If you receive an answer from another network device although the camera is not connected, you will have to remove that device until you have reset the MOBOTIX camera to a free IP address. We recommend using the Quick Installation wizard for this task.

Caution: Netmask 255.0.0.0

Open a Command Prompt (Windows): Start> Run, enter “cmd”, then press [Return]

Make sure that you replace 10.1.0.99 with the IP address of your camera!

The factory IP address is printed on the sticker on the camera

Example: 10.1.0.99

Note

Pressing the "R" key on the back of the camera will let the camera

announce the current IP address of the camera using its voice output feature.

Page 48

If your computer does not use an IP address in the 10.0.0.0 network (e.g. a

192.168.x.x or 172.x.x.x network), you should add a second IP address to the network configuration of your computer or set a new IP address:

Windows 2000/XP

(1) Open the Network Connec-

tions and open the Properties of LAN Connection.

(2) Double-click Internet Proto-

col (TCP/IP).

(3) Click on the Alternative

Configuration tab.

(4) Enter an IP address (e.g.

10.1.0.11) in the class A network (10.x.x.x) that is unique in your network and that is not the same as the camera's IP address.

(5) Close all dialogs by clicking

on OK.

Linux/UNIX/OS X

(1) Open a terminal as root user and enter the following command:

ifconfig eth0:1 10.1.0.11

The computer now has the additional IP address 10.1.0.11, allowing it to access the camera with its factory IP address in the 10.x.x.x network (10.1.0.99 in this example).

3.4.3 Simultaneously Using ISDN and Ethernet Connections (Gateway)

In most cases, the MOBOTIX camera will be used either on the ISDN or an Ethernet LAN, not both. If ISDN is used, the gateway (for accessing computers outside of the local network) is set automatically; for Ethernet, the gateway has to be set manually.

In order for the camera to open an ISDN dial-out connection while both ISDN and Ethernet are used, the default route has to be set to the preferred ISDN dial-out connection (Admin Menu > ISDN Data Connections > Dial-Out Connections). Section 5.2,

Quick Installation

, in the

Software Manual

contains more information

on this topic.

If you would like to use connections to different networks for other tasks (e.g. backup to an FTP server), you can set more network routes in Admin Menu >

Routing. See the Routing topic in the camera help for more information.

3.4.7 The First Image in MxViewer

The MOBOTIX MxViewer is a free Windows application that allows displaying multiple MOBOTIX cameras on one computer and provides alarm management

functions. It can easily handle displaying 30 cameras with CIF resolution at 30 fps

each in MxPEG format on one standard PC with Intel Pentium 4 and 3 GHz.

MxViewer can do quite a bit more than simply display the video and audio data from MOBOTIX cameras. The unique features of MxViewer and the MOBOTIX cameras create a full-featured security system: Intelligent alarm handling, extensive possibilities of arranging the cameras on layouts (MultiView screens), ability to display cameras that are sending alarm notifications, and integrated camera management functions.

Automatically Searching MOBOTIX Cameras in all Subnets

Future versions of MxViewer will be able to search MOBOTIX cameras not only in the current subnet of the computer, but also in all subnets, which can be reached within the same physical network (e.g. not closed off by routers or other mechanisms).

This means that MxViewer can find cameras with factory IP address (e.g.

10.1.0.99 as in our sample), although the computer is in a different subnet (e.g.

172.16.0.0).

MxViewer can thus find MOBOTIX cameras automatically and without changing the computer configuration if the camera has been plugged into the same switch as the computer, for example.

Manually Defining MOBOTIX Cameras

If you have selected the Define video sources manually option in the MxViewer Video Sources dialog, you can manually add the IP addresses or DNS names of

the MOBOTIX cameras.

• Add: Adds the IP address or DNS name of the MOBOTIX camera you entered to the list.

If possible, MxViewer shows the image of the last camera you added in the preview window. Click on OK to use

all

cameras in the list and to include them in the

default layout generated by MxViewer:

Displaying MxPEG Video Clips

MxPEG video clips represent the files that contain the video and audio data stored by either MOBOTIX cameras or MxViewer. These clips can be displayed in MxViewer just like the camera images.

3.5 Starting the Camera With an Automatic IP Address (DHCP)

If your network has a DHCP server, you can start the camera with DHCP support. In this case, the DHCP server automatically assigns an IP address.

As soon as startup has been completed, the camera automatically announces its IP address, its network mask and its MAC address (except Web and Basic models; speaker has to be activated). Note, that this announcement function can be deactivated (Admin Menu > Loudspeaker and Microphone).

Proceed as follows to start the camera using DHCP:

• If the camera is powered on, disconnect the power supply of the camera by unplugging the corresponding cable.

• Connect the camera's power supply.

• Wait until all six LEDs are lighting up simultaneously for the second time (about five seconds after connecting the camera's power supply—the LEDs will stay on for 25 seconds).

• Wait for about 20 seconds after the LEDs have lit up for the second time, then press and hold the "R" key. All LEDs should still be lit when you do this.

• Only release the key when the LEDs at the 8 o'clock and 12 o'clock position are lighting up.

• After about two seconds, the camera plays a sound ("Boing, Boing").

• After about another 15 seconds, the camera will announce its network data, provided it has audio functionality.

You can now access the camera using the IP address it just announced.

3.6 Starting the Camera Using the Factory IP Address

Under certain circumstances, you may have to reset the camera to its factory IP address. This could be the case if the IP address of the camera has been lost or the camera does not react to the last known IP address.

Proceed as follows to start the camera using its factory IP address:

• If the camera is powered on, disconnect the power supply of the camera by unplugging the corresponding cable.

• Connect the camera's power supply.

• Wait until all six LEDs are lighting up simultaneously for the second time (about five seconds after connecting the camera's power supply—the LEDs will stay on for 25 seconds).

• Wait for about 20 seconds after the LEDs have lit up for the second time, then press and hold the "L" key. All LEDs should still be lit when you do this.

• Only release the key when the LEDs at the 4 o'clock and 12 o'clock posi- tion are lighting up.

• After about two seconds, the camera plays a sound ("Boing").

The camera is now accessible again using its factory IP address (see label on the camera housing).

3.7 Signal Input/Output, RS-232 Interface

The MOBOTIX camera provides a signal input/output and three additional signal pins on its RS-232 interface (not Basic, Web and M22 models), which you can use as additional signal in/out detectors. You can use the camera's signal input/output to detect an opening door (using a Reed switch) or to switch an external device (e.g. a lamp).

3.7.1 Signal Input

Pin 9 of the RS-232 connector is used for detecting the signal input. To trigger the signal input, simply connect pin 5 (ground) to pin 9 (no current required). You can also connect other devices (e.g. SPS machines) that close a contact (0V) to trigger the signal input.

Click on Setup Menu > Event Settings to specify which state of the signal input should create an event—an open loop or a closed loop. For example, if you would like to secure all windows and doors of a building, connect all closed switches in a serial loop and connect the wires to signal input (pin 9) and ground (pin 5). The wire should have a resistance of less than 2 kOhms. The camera already is equipped with a low pass filter (10 kOhms / 10 nF).

Open Setup Menu > Event Settings to activate the additional signal input pins of the RS-232 interface (

Closed/Low

3.7.2 Signal Output

When an event is detected, the MOBOTIX camera can switch the signal output (pin 1). Use the corresponding options in Setup Menu > Actions to set how long the camera should close the signal output.

• Off: Signal output is open (10 kOhms on 3.3 V)

• 1s, 2s, 5s, 10s, 30s, 1min, 5min: Closes the contact between pin 1 of the RS232 connector and ground (pin 5). The signal output is protected against power surges and unwanted feedback (±48 V) and it switches up to 50 mA. It can thus switch a 12 V relay with 0.6 W (24 V relay with 1,2 W).

Open Setup Menu > Enhanced Signal Out Options to set custom swiching times for any combination of events (not Basic, Web and M22 models). This dialog also allows using a time table and setting a dead time.

Activate the signal output in Admin Menu> LED Setup or for specific events in Setup Menu> Event Settings

The event settings allow activating the signal output for a certain time only (to generate an impulse)

Functions:

- signal High

- signal Low

Example setup

Note

The signal output of the RS-232 interface will assume an inactive state while the camera is (re-)booting and will stay inactive. This does not apply to the I/O pins of the RS-232 interface that have been programmed as output pins.

The polarity of the two signal in/output pins is the reverse polarity of the in/output pins of the RS-232 interface in I/O mode.
