Function Setting & Management application：
Function Setting & Management application：
This device could use command line to control via built in RS485 terminal program, (CLI，Command-Line
Interface), through RS485 terminal port (Console Port) for detailed function setup and management.
Use command as below：
? Display command usage
* n Control device number (Device No), n = 0-32, Without input parameter: Display the device number
Once the setting device into control mode, If you do not do any operation within 1 minutest, it will auto
off control mode.
# n Control channel number (Channel No)，n = 1-8，
Without input parameter: Display current setting
SET n Setting this device number, n = 0-32, 0 mean stand alone mode (Factory Default)
Do not repeat setting the device number, recommend setting an individual connection to RS485, not to
connect other devices in series in order to avoid any confusion at the setting number.

Trouble Shooting：
1. When control over one piece of ESH-CCTVAB8, each device must setting the individual Device Number to avoid
any confusion or failed control and management.
2. Please remember save any new change/setting in order to operate the new setting correctly.
3. If using multiple ESH-CCTVAB8 with RS485 series control, the last ESH-CCTVAB8 device must add 120Ω
termination resistors at terminal port (Console Port) in order to stabilize the data signal.
4. Long distance transmission or have interference occurred that might cause Equalization function not correct or not
able to do auto gain correctly, even not able to lock auto gain. The picture occurred the “light and dark” alternating,
recommend using manual Equalization setting for adjustment.
5. Long distance transmission or have interference occurred, the auto recognize signal polarity and color may be failed;
recommend to use manual setting according the actual signal format.
