Step-by-step guide
Step 1: Enable the 3 rd party serial protocol license on the IP camera
Ensure that the 3rd party serial protocol MVS-FCOM-PRCL license is activated on the camera. The camera will reboot once the activation key is set on the camera.
Web GUI configuration:
Configuration --> Service --> Licenses
Step 2: Service password unlock
Due to the improved security features in 6.4x and higher, the camera requires a RCP CGI command to unlock the service password. Default setting: service password locked
RCP CGI:
service password unlock http://<IPAddress>/rcp.xml?command=0x0b1a&type=T_OCTET&direction=WRITE&num=0&payload=1
* replace <IPAddress> with the camera IP address
Step 3: Protocol type selection
The protocol selection is saved so that a power interruption will not cause a loss in communications. Default protocol: Pelco D
RCP CGI:
Bosch OSRD http://<IPAddress>/rcp.xml?command=0x09a5&type=P_OCTET&direction=WRITE&num=1&payload=0x80000201D5020001
Pelco P http://<IPAddress>/rcp.xml?command=0x09a5&type=P_OCTET&direction=WRITE&num=1&payload=0x80000201D5020002
Pelco D http://<IPAddress>/rcp.xml?command=0x09a5&type=P_OCTET&direction=WRITE&num=1&payload=0x80000201D5020003
Forward vision http://<IPAddress>/rcp.xml?command=0x09a5&type=P_OCTET&direction=WRITE&num=1&payload=0x80000201D5020007
Cohu http://<IPAddress>/rcp.xml?command=0x09a5&type=P_OCTET&direction=WRITE&num=1&payload=0x80000201D5020008
* replace <IPAddress> with the camera IP address
STEP 4: Configure the fast address
A FastAddress (analog device ID) is required for the analog system to control the camera. This set address must match the camera number that is used on the Keyboard or the analog control software. The range is from 1 to 9999. In the Web GUI, navigate to Configuration --> Camera --> Miscellaneous and enter the FastAddress of the camera’s analog device ID. For example, Camera 10 on an Allegiant Matrix Switcher keyboard would be equal to 10 in the GUI.
Web GUI configuration:
Configuration --> Camera --> Miscellaneous
STEP 5: Serial mode
For receiving the RS-485 feedback from the camera communication port, Full-duplex needs to be selected. The MIC IP camera needs to be operating on firmware version 7.86.xxxx and above in order for the analog control system to receive the RS-485 feedback.
