Communicating Data via Serial Port — Serial setting Page

39

When you click Serial on the Administrator menu, the 
Serial setting page appears.
Use this page to set up for the date communication via 
the serial interface.  You can input data from a computer 
via the network to the camera, and output it to an 
external serial interface for controlling a peripheral 
device, or, vice versa, input data from a peripheral 
device to the camera via the external serial interface and 
output it to the computer via the network.
Perform the setting to match the peripheral device you 
connect to the camera.

Select the serial standard used to connect a peripheral 
device via the serial interface: RS232C or RS485.

If RS485 is selected on the Standard menu, the data 
communication is semi-duplex.  Connect a peripheral 
device supporting semi-duplex communication.

Select the port through which you send and receive data 
via the network: HTTP (HTTP Generic Driver) or TCP 
(TCP Generic Driver).

HTTP: When you select HTTP, you can realize data 

communication by creating an HTML program with 
CGI commands embedded in the computer.
For the CGI commands, consult your authorized 
Sony dealer.

TCP: When you select TCP, specify the TCP port 

number on the TCP Port No. menu, and you can send 
and receive data that is input to or output from the 
external serial communication port. You can check 
the connection to the camera using a DOS command 
“telnet [host name] [assigned port number]”.

When you select TCP on the Transparency type menu, 
type the port number for the TCP port (TCP Generic 
Driver).  Set a port number other than Well-Known port 
numbers (0 to 1023).

Select the communication baud rate for the peripheral 
device connected to the serial interface.  You can select 
from among the following baud rates:
38400, 19200, 9600, 4800, 2400, 1200, 600, 300 (bps)

Select the parity bit for the peripheral device connected 
to the serial interface: None, Odd or Even.

Select the character length for the peripheral device 
connected to the serial interface: 7 or 8 (bits).

Select the stop bit for the peripheral device connected to 
the serial interface: 1 or 2 (bits).
