PROGRAMMING
Programming allows you to configure the multiplexer for the way that you want your system
to operate. The multiplexer automatically selects the most common operating parameters
and can be operated without programming it. You should program the multiplexer if you
want to use different settings.
Programming of system, camera, and VCR setup; camera sequencing; and alarm and
activity detection are done through on-screen menus that are displayed on the main
monitor. A password can be enabled to prevent unauthorized access to the menus.
Programming of the picture-in-picture, and 4-, 9-, and 16-camera displays can be done
directly without going through menus.
PASSWORD
You can program the multiplexer to request a password for access to programming menus.
The password is enabled in the Advanced System Setup menu (refer to the
Advanced
System Setup [View Button]
section).
The universal password is 3916 and cannot be changed. This password must be entered
by pressing the camera number keys whenever a password is requested.
MENUS
SYSTEM SETUP (VIEW BUTTON)
To program the main system parameters:
1. Press the VIEW button for approximately three seconds. Type the password, if
requested. The System Setup menu appears.
2. The currently selected menu item blinks.
3. Use the arrow buttons to move between items on the screen.
NOTE:
Whenever a multi-
plexer server is installed,
programming the multiplexer
must be done at the multi-
plexer front panel. In this
situation, the multiplexer
cannot be programmed from
the keyboard. The keyboard
can only be used to program
the multiplexer server, not
the multiplexer.

Display and record alarms
and/or activity detection.
Program alarms in the System Setup, Record
Setup, Camera, and Advanced System Setup
menus. Program activity detection in the System
Setup, Camera, and Advanced System Setup
menus. Multiplexer must be in the RECORD
mode to record alarms or activity.
Main and spot monitors respond to
programming instructions. If there
are multiple alarms/activity
detection, monitors will sequence
cameras. Monitors will return to
routine operation approximately 15
seconds after all activity detection
has stopped or after alarms have
timed out. In alarms/activity mode,
any alarm will take precedence and
override the camera being
displayed.
