TROUBLESHOOTING
If you have difficulty operating your system, run through the following checklist to see if you
can solve the problem.
1.
Are the keyboard switches set properly?
2.
Is the equipment wired properly?
3.
Are the menu options in the multiplexer(s) and server set properly?
4.
Is the multiplexer set to the correct mode for live video or tape playback?
5.
Only the main monitor displays multiple-screen images. The spot monitor displays full-
screen views only.
6.
Patterns, presets, and auxiliaries operate with the spot monitor only. You must push
the SPOT key, even if the spot monitor is set to track the main monitor. Tracking the
main monitor applies to PTZ control only, not to patterns, presets, and auxiliaries.
7.
Programming controls the auxiliary monitor (duplex multiplexer only). You cannot
control it from the keyboard or from the multiplexer’s front panel.
8.
Tape playback can be done only on the main monitor (in VCR mode).
9.
Moveable cameras must be Coaxitron compatible with the proper Coaxitron format
selected in the multiplexer’s Camera menu. If an improper format is selected, the
camera will either not move or have sluggish control.
10. Moveable cameras can be operated with the joystick only if SPOT MONITOR is chosen
or if the spot monitor is programmed to track the main monitor. The camera moves on
the main monitor if the same camera is being shown on both the main and spot monitors.
11.
Switch 7 on the keyboard determines how you call cameras.
If the switch is ON, all cameras are addressed consecutively. Do not count just
the installed cameras. Count 16 camera inputs per multiplexer, even if a
multiplexer has only nine inputs. The first input of multiplexer 1 is always camera
1; the first input of multiplexer 2 is always camera 17; the second input of
multiplexer 3 is always camera 34.
If the switch is OFF, cameras are addressed in groups of 9 or 16 according to the
multiplexer’s address. Select a multiplexer (number 3 for example), then choose
a camera (1-9 or 1-16).
12. Switch 4 on the keyboard determines the communication mode.
In polled communication mode (switch 4 OFF), if you have one multiplexer, it
must be the master. If you have multiple multiplexers, one (any one) must be the
master and all others slaves.
In non-polled communication mode (switch 4 ON), all multiplexers must be
slaves. Refer to the multiplexer’s Advanced System Setup menu.
13. If you have more than one multiplexer, each must have a unique address
(multiplexer’s Advanced System Setup menu).
14. If you have a server, the multiplexer’s address must correspond to the server’s input to
which it is connected. For example, if the multiplexer goes to input 4 on the server, the
multiplexer must be address 4.
15. If you have a server, each keyboard must have its own address.
