Writing/editing of RS485 command table

To control other than Panasonic CCTV camera, Pelco-D and Pelco-P compatible cameras, command tables are necessary to write/edit and upload to the unit.
We do not take any responsibility for written/edited command tables.

Following information is just for reference.

A file name of command table:[camera_serial0.conf] is only valid.
When the file name is changed, the unit cannot be operated.

<COMMON>
[1] Lines begin with [=] are commentary. They have no effect for RS485 control to the unit.
[2] File size for RS485 command table is limited not to exceed 20KB each file.

<CAMERA INFORMATION>
- CAMERA TYPE
Set [PANASONIC] for Panasonic CCTV cameras, [PELCO D Protocol] for Pelco-D compatible cameras.
[RON:7] command is transmitted when [PANASONIC] is set and [2-line] is selected as RS485 communication.

- VER
- PAN_TILT_SPEED
- ZOOM_SPEED
These have no effects for RS485 control to the unit.
These are intended for administrative information in editing RS485 command table.

- DATA_FORMAT
Set [TEXT] for ASCII data communication, or [BIN] for binary data communication.

- ADDRESS
This has no effect for RS485 control to the unit.
Set [Unit address] in accordance with a unit number of controlled CCTV camera.

- Left part(hereinafter, command key) and right part(hereinafter, data part) should be connected by [=].
- When the unit is operated, relevant command keys are selected.
- Command keys cannot be modified.
- Data part which corresponds to the selected command key will be transmitted. When any changes are required in transmitted data, edit the data part.
- [%x…%] means hexadecimal. For example, [%x02%] means [STX(0x02)].
- Following alternative characters may be set for variable number as data parts.
%addr% Replaced by [Unit address] in setup menu
%pn4b% Replaced by [PAN speed] as 4-bit value: 1 character
%pn8b% Replaced by [PAN speed] as 8-bit value: 2 characters
%tl4b% Replaced by [TILT speed] as 4-bit value: 1 character
%tl8b% Replaced by [TILT speed] as 8-bit value: 2 characters
%zm4b% Replaced by [ZOOM speed] as 8-bit value: 2 characters
%pr8b% Replaced by [PRESET number] as 8-bit value: 2 characters
%pr12b% Replaced by [PRESET number] as 12-bit value: 3 characters
%bcc(x,y)% Replaced by [CHECKSUM]. x means start position, y means end position.
x and/or y can be omitted

- Operation may be added in alternative characters as necessary.
For example, [%pr8b+0xFF%]
RS485 control specification of Panasonic CCTV cameras requires [A-1] command transmission to move to [PRESET A], thus [%pr8b+0xFF%] is used by adding [0xFF].

Command transmission in serial port (RS485 compliant)

WJ-GXE100 and WJ-GXE500 have a following function: Data received from PC in UDP 52000 port can be sent to serial port (RS485 compliant).
Arbitrary command from PC may be dynamically transmitted to analog camera.
[RS485] settings on [RS485] tab of [Camera] page are applied as communication settings.
