Setup Ex is primarily used to set up communications between the server (DVR) and the PC
running the client software.
5.1.1.7.1 Enable Transparence (Local Com) and Send Com Data to All Server
These functions are primarily used for large surveillance systems that are centrally monitored.
When the "Enable Transparence (Local Com)" function is enabled, the date collected from the
server control port is transmitted to the serial port of the computer in the surveillance center via
the video server's (DVRs) RS-485 or RS-232 interface.
When the “Send Com Data to All Server” function is enabled, you can connect a keyboard to the
serial port of the computer via an RS-485 to RS-232 converter. This will allow direct control of a
PTZ camera connected to the video server (DVR).
It is necessary that the parameters of serial port devices connected to the computer match. The
parameters to be set are; Com, Data Bit, Parity, Rate, and Stop Bit.
5.1.1.7.2 Enable Sync Time On Server Open
Allow synchronization of the server (DVR) time/date with the local PC.
