2. Keyboard/Joystick Interface and Configuration
2.1 Configuring the Keyboard for the LAN (IP Settings)
●Connect the power supply and the network cable to the keyboard using the appropriate ports. Once the key-
board has completed its start-up procedure (please note: warm up takes approximately 50 seconds), the
screen will eventually display the unit’s IP current address (e.g. “Host: 192.168.xxx.xxx”). The default setting
for IP addressing is DHCP (automatic addressing).
●If the keyboard comes up in the wrong language, follow this procedure:
o Press the “SETUP” key to enter configuration.
o The first menu displayed on the keyboard LCD is the language setting.
o Use the joystick’s Pan control to scroll left and right until you see your desired language (English is dis-
played as “EN”). Press the “” (or enter) key to select. Press “ESC” key to return to the top menu.
●If this IP address displayed is in your LAN with the cameras to be controlled, you are ready to continue to 2.2,
below. If you need to change the IP address to a static address, continue with these steps in 2.1.
●Press the “SET UP” key to enter configuration.
●Using the joystick’s Tilt controls to navigate the LCD menu, scroll down to menu item 02/03, “IP” and then use
the joystick’s Pan controls to select “Static” rather than “DHCP”.
●Use the joystick’s Tilt controls to navigate the LCD menu, scroll down to menu item 03/03, “IP” and then use
the joystick’s numeric keypad to enter the desired static IP address, using the “.” key between octets as appro-
priate. When new address had been entered completely, use the “” (or enter) key to complete the entry.
Use the same method to enter the desired Subnet mask and Default gateway. If required while entering
IP address info, use the joystick’s Pan Left control to backspace.
● The keyboard will request permission to restart to complete the IP address change. Press the key to confirm
and wait for keyboard to restart.
●Use the “SETUP” key and joystick to cycle back to the 03/03 menu, as described above, to confirm that the
new IP address was entered correctly. You are now ready to control cameras on the network with the key-
board.
2.2 Search, Add and Inquire cameras via the Keyboard
●After the Controller connects to LAN successfully and displays its IP address, press the "SEARCH" button on
the keyboard.
