PROGRAMMING THE CM6800
The CM6800 is shipped from the factory with default programming settings. If the defaults
are acceptable, the CM6800 can be operated without any user programming. However, you
may want to program the following basic system settings:
•Time and date
• Camera titles
• PTZ control via hardwire data connections
• Alarm contacts
Alarms must be enabled before they are functional.
• Access/Partitioning
All access is set to YES by factory default.
• Communication ports
If you connect your system as illustrated in the Quick Start Guide, you must
change the settings for Port 7 or 8 in order to connect remote keyboards.
You can further customize your system with a wide range of programming options, such as:
• select the language displayed on programming screens
• establish monitor group sequences
• set monitor display options
• set alarm handling options
• assign logical camera numbering
• change password
• set auxiliary options
CUSTOMIZING THE CM6800
Pelco provides two options for programming the CM6800 to your specifications:
• Password-protected, on-screen programming screens accessible directly from
the Matrix Switcher
• PC-based CM6800-MGR software
Refer to the CM6800-MGR Quick Start Guide for instructions on accessing and
using this software to program your system.
NOTE:
Pelco strongly recommends uploading your programming settings
to the CM6800-MGR to save settings in the event of an accidental reset.
NOTE:
The CM6800 allows
system programming from
only one monitor at a time. If
programming from the
CM6800-MGR is sent to the
CM6800 at the same time
that you are programming
from a monitor screen, the
system will exit the on-screen
programming function.
