OTHER
The “Other” tab shows which other SCS components or sequences are
configured to include the highlighted camera.
This section is informational only.  Changes cannot be made to other
components or sequences from this window.  Changes must be made
from each specific component or sequence’s menu option.
On the image below, for example, tour sequence number 1 is configured
to include camera ID 1.  The tour sequence section of this tab for camera
ID 1 was automatically updated when tour sequence 1 was created to
include this camera.  To remove camera 1 from tour sequence 1, you
would need to exit the Cameras window, and enter the Tour Sequences
window from the main menu, and edit sequence number 1.

CAMERA POSITIONS
An operator, from a system controller, can control each camera in the
system that supports Presets by pressing the Camera Position button on
the controller.  The operator cannot define positions, but rather, can only
recall positions (which are a combination of Camera ID and CPreset
numbers) that have already been defined.
The Camera Positions setting in Admin Console allows administrators to
define and consolidate the Camera ID and CPreset numbers into a
Position ID number that the operator can then conveniently call from the
system controller.
1. Click on the dow n arrow  in the low er right corner of the
Cam eras icon on the m ain m enu, and choose Positions.
The Position ID is automatically inserted and incremented by the
application.
2. Enter a Logical num ber fo r  the position record you are
creating.
3. Click in th e  C a m e ra  field.  A list of availa b le cam eras
that support P resets w ill appear o n  th e  right of th is
window .

System Controllers
A system controller is a device used by an operator to control specific
components within the SCS, such as: cameras, monitors, alarms, alarm
outputs, etc.  Controllers are generally identified to an operator using their
ID number, but can be viewed in the Admin Console by ID, IPA, EA, or
Area.
DEFINITION
Add, edit, or delete controller records as necessary using the three icons at
the bottom of this window.

Field D ata
IDUnique record ID assigned by the Admin Console as a
system controller is added, in order to identify one
controller to the system.
The Admin Console automatically generates this number
in
consecutive order.  Upon adding controllers, the system
will automatically assign the next available number.
Component ID and sequence ID numbers are used
primarily in the permission tabs to identify one component
or sequence from another in row and column style.  Since
logical and local numbers are not necessarily unique or
consecutive, and the permission grids must be displayed
as consecutive, unique numbers, the Admin Console
generates these ID numbers.  1 to 128.
AreaUnique number identifying a Monitor Surveillance Area
(MSA) comprised of an array of monitors and one or more
keyboard controllers.  1 to 128
Inserting a “0” indicates area 0.  This will disable the Area
field in the OSD on the monitor.  It is recommended that
the use of areas be restricted to values of 1 to 128.  Only
use area “0” when no areas are needed within the entire
system.
Click the Area button on the main window to view all
components defined in a specific area.
PriorityThis number assigns this controller an order of
precedence.  Applies only when operator priorities are the
same.  The controller with the lower number priority takes
over the part of the system it is addressing.
If more than one controller with the same priority is
operating at the same time, access is given and held for
the latest call to a function, in other words, on a last-come
first-served basis.  Alarm priorities have precedence over
operator priorities.  0 to 65,534.
Boot FileThe name of the file used by the Ethernet keyboard’s
boot process.  Use the default filename unless instructed
otherwise by qualified personnel.  Alphanumeric,
12 characters.
Be sure to select WV-CU850 Controller type FIRST so
that the default boot name will be filled in automatically.
This is the only system controller type that will require a
boot name.
If the boot name field is filled in before WV-CU850 type is
selected, the default boot name will not be inserted.
TimeoutAmount of time that must elapse after the user stops
entering keystrokes, before the system logs off the
operator from this controller.  (hr:min:sec) 00:00:00 to
11:59:59
The controller timeout works in conjunction with the
operator timeout.  The system will choose the lowest
timeout value of the two.
Entering a “0” into this field will cause the timer to never
expire regardless of the operator timeout value.

ModelPull-down and select the correct type of system controller.
This will enable or disable fields that are specific to each
particular controller.  CU350 (RS485), CU850 (Ethernet),
PFW100 [CU350] (RS485), PFW100 [CU850] (Ethernet),
PFW850 (Ethernet), RS232 (serial), or ActiveX.
IPAUnique Internet Protocol Address assigned by the system
administrator.  Dotted decimal, 15 characters.  Example:
128.010.050.125.  Each of the four groups of numbers
with values between 0 and 255.
Depending on the model number chosen, the following
will apply:
WV-CU350:  If this controller is not connected to an
RS485 Expander Unit, use the default IPA.  If this
controller is connected to an RS485 Expander Unit, enter
the IPA for the expander unit.
WV-CU850:  A unique IPA is necessary within the
scheme of the MCPU interface IPA.
PFW100 [CU350]:  Same as the WV-CU350.
PFW100 [CU850]:  Same as the WV-CU850.
PFW850:  Enter the IPA of the desktop computer the
PFW850 is installed, making sure it is within the scheme
of the MCPU interface IPA.
RS-232:  If this controller is not connected to an RS485
Expander Unit, use the default IPA.  If this controller is
connected to an RS485 Expander Unit, enter the IPA for
the expander unit.
ActiveX:  Enter the IPA of the desktop computer that
ActiveX is running from, making sure it is within the

described in the Camera Permissions section, beginning on page 47.
The Cam Ctrl permission tab allows an administrator to permit or deny a
system controller the ability to control specific cameras.  The Modes
section of each of the permissions tabs is described on page 18.
¤ Note:  Allowing a system controller to control a certain camera
will automatically allow the same controller to view the
specified camera.
The Cam View permission tab allows an administrator to permit or deny
a controller to view specific cameras.
¤ Note:   Denying a system controller to view a certain camera will
automatically deny the same controller to control the
specified camera.
The Monitor permission tab allows an administrator to permit or deny a
controller’s ability to seize a specific monitor.  A monitor ID, if unknown,
can be determined by its area and local number, by entering each value
into the appropriate boxes, and then clicking the “Search for Monitor by
Area & Local” button.
The Group Seq permission tab allows an administrator to permit or deny
a controller’s ability to control a group sequence.  If the group sequence
ID is unknown, you can enter the area and local numbers of the sequence
in the appropriate boxes, and click the “Search for Group Seq by Area &
Local” button.
› Warning:  Copying Cam Ctrl permissions to other system
controllers will also copy Cam View permissions to the
specified controller.

Monitors
Monitors are generally viewed within the Admin Console by ID number,
but can be viewed by area\local number, since the user will operate the
SCS by selecting a monitor by local number within a specific area.
Area\local numbers are displayed in the Admin Console as one whole
number.  The four right-most digits represent the local number and the
left-most one, two, or three digits will represent the area.  For example,
10034 represents area 1 and local number 34, or 251100 represents area
25 and local number 1100.
DEFINITION
Add, edit, delete, or replicate monitor records as needed using the four
icons at the bottom of this window.
¤ Note:  When deleting or modifying a monitor, be sure to check
the “Other” tab to find references to other sections that
the monitor will influence.
