Page History

A telemetry control panel is used to control PTZ devices. The Control panel system object is used for the PTZ control panel hardware device registration in Axxon PSIM™PSIM.

After the telemetry control panel is connected, registered and configured, the Key pressed event from the Control panel object is registered in the system at pressing a key on the panel, as well as other events depending on the control panel model – see subsections.

When connecting the telemetry control panel integrated into the Drivers Pack, you can use the Camera discovery tool to automatically register the Control panel object in Axxon PSIM similar to IP devices. Axis T8310 and Videotec DCZ control panels are integrated in this way at the time of writing this documentation. Their connection can also be configured and manually as described below. See the Drivers Pack documentation for the full list of control panels (CCTV Keyboards) for which you can use the Camera discovery tool.

1. Go to the Hardware tab in the System settings dialog box (1).

2. Create the Control panel system object under the Telemetry Controller object or select the relevant object in the Hardware tab of the System settings dialog box (2).

   Note
   title Attention!
   If control panel is connected using the USB interface, then all settings related to COM-port are ignored by system. In this case, go to step 8.

3. Specify the ID, the name of the Control panel object and select the Telemetry controller object to which the PTZ device is connected.

4. Select the COM port number in the Port list in order to connect the Control panel device (3).

   Info
   title Note
   The Control panel is connected to the COM port different from that to wich which the PTZ device is connected. Therefore, another COM port number must be specified on the settings panel of the parent (for the the Control panel object) Telemetry Controller object.

   
   

5. Specify the speed of data exchange between the computer and the telemetry control panel device, if necessary (4).

6. Specify  parity parity check parameters for the data exchange if necessary (5).

7. If the telemetry control panel device is passive (i.e. with no independent power supply), the power supply is to be activated via the DTR or RTS outputs of the COM port by setting the DTR or RTS check boxes (6,7).

   Info
   title Note
   The COM port speed and parity settings of the parent Telemetry controller object do not relate to the similar settings of the Control panel object, as they refer to another COM port.

   
   

   Info
   title Note
   The Speed and Parity settings must be the same as the COM port settings in the Windows OS.

   
   

8. Change To change the PTZ device control priority for the telemetry control panel device, select the relevant item in the Priority list (8).
