I [Comm] Settings for communication with other devices It is necessary to adjust the communication speed and use the same communication protocol with external devices such as a controller when connecting those external devices to the DATA port or the SERIAL connector (RS232C). It is also necessary to perform the settings for the network such as the IP address and the gateway address when operating this unit a PC via a network such as a LAN. These are the descriptions of how to perform the required settings for communication with external devices. G [Camera Control] Settings for the communication method and the cable compensation for camera control Select a communication method for each camera channel to control cameras from the following.

(CAM 1 - 16 CH are available for the WJ-HD316A, CAM 1 - 9 CH are available for the WJ-HD309A) OFF: Does not control camera (CAM 1 - 16 CH are available) Notes: • Perform settings according to the cameras connected to this unit. • CAM 9-16 control 4 cameras each (only for the WJHD316A). • When using the coaxial communication to control cameras, connect cameras to the VIDEO IN connectors 1 8 for the WJ-HD316A (1 - 6 for the WJ-HD309A) (coaxial communication compatible). When controlling cameras connected to other VIDEO IN connectors with coaxial communication, use a coaxial communication unit (WJ-MP204). In this case, select "PSD" for the communication method for the camera channels to be controlled through the coaxial communication unit. • To prevent operation mistakes, set the unused camera channels to off. It is possible to compensate for the video signal transmission loss from the camera when using the VIDEO IN connector 1 - 8. (cable compensation) Perform the settings for the cable compensation according to the length of cable used. S: When the length of cable used is shorter than 500 m M: When the length of cable used is longer than 500 m and shorter than 900 m L: When the length of cable used is longer than 900 m and shorter than 1 200 m Notes: • Use 5C-2V cables for the cable compensation. • Perform the settings for the cable compensation properly according to the cable length. Otherwise camera pictures may not be displayed/recorded correctly. G [PS.DATA Setup] Settings for the PS·Data Perform the following settings for the PS·Data.

Numbers, "001"-"099", are to be assigned as the unit addresses to the system devices. 8 Unit Address (Controller) The unit address (controller) is used to control a PS·Data device connected to this unit. Numbers, "001" - "099" are to be assigned. 8 Cascade Select ON or OFF whether or not to use the cascade connection. Set this to ON when connecting two or more units in the cascade connection.
