Viewing Satellite Sites
Satellite sites are locations where other
MegaPower 3200 video-matrix CCTV systems
are in operation and are accessible from the
local MegaPower system. Local operators can
access and control cameras at satellite sites.
When a satellite site is accessed, the monitor
display changes to include text relevant to the
satellite site (see
Figure 4).
A local MegaPower 3200 video-matrix CCTV
system can access up to 30 satellite sites.

Performing a Ping Test
A ping test checks and verifies the state of
communications between camera domes and the
MegaPower CPU. The ping test also reports
configuration information from the camera dome for
display on the EASY CPU camera status screen.
To initiate a ping test, enter the special function key
29-F1 on your keyboard. Refer to
Appendix E:
Auxiliary Key Code Functions on page
20 for a
listing of keyboard special function keys.
• At the start of a ping test, the mnemonic and
flash version number data are displayed on a
selected monitor for a few seconds before the
ping test data is collected and displayed for the
remainder of the test.
• As the test progresses, the monitor displays the
number of transmission attempts and the
number of failure counts (up to 6 digits) of the
attempts that failed to receive a reply from the
dome.
A ping test allows concurrent testing of up to ten
domes to different monitors.
