POWER / COMMUNICATION PORTS – Removable terminal containing converter power terminals and
RS-485 / BIPHASE communication ports. The purpose of each port is described below.
LED DIODES.
Red – depending on the settings, informs about translation and sending data to the camera or
informs about corrupted data packets / collisions, coming from the control device.
Green – depending on the settings informs about any data coming from the control device or
about the correct packets only (correct protocol and transmission parameters). Signaling that
the correct packets have been received does not mean that they will be translated, because it
also depends on settings the supported addresses by the converter.
DIP SWITCHES – Designed to switch on termination resistors for ports 1 ~ 3 and to run the converter
firmware update mode. If ports 2 or 3 are configured as Biphase, switches 2 or 3 should be
ON.

Activation of any AUX ON / AUX OFF number
Bosch cameras support 1023 AUX commands, which are intended for performing special functions,
among others for remote address setting (Fast-address).
Because the Pelco protocol does not allow for the transmission of such information, the converter has a
special procedure for activating the AUX function using a combination of Set Preset / Call Preset
commands. The rules and examples of sending AUX commands are described below.
Moving the joystick between individual steps or performing other operations cancels the AUX procedure.
Entering values outside the range also cancels the AUX procedure.
NOTICE! The described procedure only works correctly with keyboards that send preset commands only
once at start-up. Some keyboards may send a PRESET command twice, in which case the AUX function
cannot be used.
