Connections
In this type of installation, only one video multiplexer is con-
nected directly to the system controller by a control cable.
The rest of the video multiplexers are connected to the sys-
tem controller in a daisy-chain type connection.
Refer to the connections and data port settings shown
below.
Notes:
• Up to four video multiplexers can be daisy-chained
to the system controller.
• Unit numbers should be assigned in the order of
connection, starting with the unit connected directly
to the WV-CU550C system controller.
• Sequence display is limited to the cameras con-
nected to one multiplexer unit only.
• It is recommended to set the LOCK switch to the
ON position while making these connections.
• For controlling more than 4 cameras, additional WV-
BP6164 Data Multiplex Boards need to be installed
in the video multiplexer.
Operating Procedure
To control the system, follow the procedure shown below.

This Appendix details the elements for communication between the Video Multiplexer and the personal computer. For BAUD
RATE, DATA BIT, STOP BIT and PARITY settings, see page 42 COM PORT SETUP menu.
Communication Protocol
1. Transmission Command
The PC sends messages to operate the Multiplexer in the format shown below. Also refer to the command table shown
later. 
A transmission message consists of [STX], [Address], [;], [Transmission Command], and [ETX]. [Address] is expressed as
“ADuu,”where ‘uu’ is in the range of “00” through “16” in decimal form to identify the unit number of the Video Multiplexer.
When using the RS-232C port to communicate with the PC, [Address] and [;] can be omitted.
2. Response Command
The Multiplexer returns messages in reply to the PC’s messages with the following formats.
(1) Reception completed
When the reception was completed successfully, the Multiplexer sends back “ACK code, 06H”, followed by parameters.
The response command is shown in the Command Table.
Note:The Video Multiplexer returns [ACK] or [NAK] to the PC within 20 ms after the reception of [ETX] in a transmission mes-
sage. (2) Reception error
The Multiplexer sends back “NAK code, 15H”, followed by the parameters shown below. The Multiplexer then resets the
reception buffer and enters waiting mode for the next message. Parameter “e” identifies the error status.

“e” value 1: Parity error
2: Data Over error
3: Framing error
4: Overrun error
5: Time Out error
(3) Parameter error
The Multiplexer returns “ACK code, 06H”, the transmission command that was not  processed properly for some reason,
followed by an error code as shown below.
Error code ER001: Command invalid
ER002: Parameter invalid
ER301: Command legal but out of range
