Installation
RJ45 channels (CH1-CH5) Serial Control
The Avonic AV-CON300 comes with a single RS232 connecting cable with RJ45 plug to Mini
DIN-8 plug. With this cable only 1 channel can be connected to the controller. This channel
can control up to 7 (VISCA) or up to 10 (PELCO) cameras.
To control the cameras assigned to the other channels, more RJ45 cables are required. The
Mini DIN 8 connector is used for RS232. The RS485 requires only 2 wires and can often be
attached to a 2-pin Phoenix connector at the camera. The RJ45 pin-layout diagram is as
follows:

COM port settings
In default working mode, an Avonic camera is able to connect to the Con300ip controller with
RS-232 or RS-485 serial interface.
The camera can be controlled via RS-232, the parameters of RS-232C are as follows:
• Baud rate: 2400/4800/9600/115200
• Start bit: 1 bit.
• Data bit: 8 bits.
• Stop bit: 1 bit.
• Parity bit: none.
The camera can be controlled via RS-485, Half-duplex mode. The parameters are:
• Baud rate: 2400/4800/9600
• Start bit: 1 bit.
• Data bit: 8 bits.
• Stop bit: 1 bit.
• Parity bit: none.
Serial Communication Control

www.avonic.eu 8
When connecting multiple cameras through RS-232, use daisy chaining network architecture. Max
cable length for RS-232 is 10-15m.
To connect multiple cameras by RS485, the cameras are attached to a 2-wire twisted pair bus (max
length 1200m) that is terminated at both ends with a 120 Ω impedance resistor. The maximum distance
from the bus to the camera or controller is 5m.
Connect an Avonic ip controller to a LAN using a standard lan switch.
Addressing is done via IP, the Visca address in a visca over ip environment is always 1.
