Select the context menu button , then select the Options menu item.
2. Select the remote control port as follows:
a. Temporarily set the Remote/Local option to Local and Protocol control .
b. Use the Protocol Controller Port drop-down list to choose a remote control port.
You can select one of the four RS422 ports (P1-P4), or the Ethernet port.
3. Select the Remote/Local control option as required by your control system:
• Protocol control only — Disables local control. The iVDR is controlled only
from the remote device. The iVDR display is used to monitor the channel status

• Local and Protocol control — Local control is enabled. With this setting you
must take care to avoid conflicts between local and remote control.

video network and the Controller Id as described in the Installation chapter. Refer
