The time stamp will be advancing in one-second increments. Wait five seconds before proceeding.
INITIALIZE KEYBOARDS
Specify a monitor for each keyboard after your first power-up or any time power is cycled to the keyboard or the CM6800.
Always allow five seconds to elapse before specifying a monitor.
1. Enter a number corresponding to the monitor output that is feeding the monitor you are viewing.
2. Press the MON key. The keyboard LED displays the number you entered. This also confirms successful communication between the
keyboard and the CM6800. If the keyboard LED does not display the monitor number, repeat 1 and 2.
CONFIGURE THE SYSTEM
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: by default, each camera is titled “CAM #” (# = camera number).
• Camera video source: Extended Coaxitron protocol receivers can be operated without any programming changes. For other receiver
control protocols, access the Camera programming screen to select the control type for the device connected to each video input.
• Alarms: The CM6800 is shipped from the factory with the alarm contact enable field set to OFF. To use the alarm features, access
the Alarm programming screens to enable the alarm contact.
In addition, some or all of the following configuration steps may be necessary, depending on your system. Configure the CM6800 through
Programming mode. Refer to the
Programming
section for detailed instructions.
