PART DESCRIPTION
A POWER LED
(RED/GREEN)
RED LED - POWER(turned on with power)
GREEN LED – STATUS (turned on in case of IP setup completed,
setup for uPnP. Refer to uPnP Manual)
UPNP Setup
1) blinks every sec(of f & on in 1 sec)--> communicatable with gate with IP
set up
2) blinks every 1/4 sec (off & on in 1/4 sec) --> Internet is available (DNS
setup needed)
3) blinks every 1/16 sec (off & on in 1/16 sec) --> Port mapping completed
(access from the outside is available)
4) continuous On --> test of access from IPCCTVDNS server to FW is
completed
(IPCCTVDNS server setup completed, access test is available only when IP is
enable.)
(If IPCCTVDNS setup is Disable, LED is continuously On )
B LAN(Tx/Rx) LED
(RED/GREEN) RED LED – LAN TX/RX(turned off when transmitting data) GREEN LED – LAN LINK(when cables are linked)
C LENS Lens for board mount
D LENS GUIDE helps to focus easily

Below image indicates CTL Port Pin to link Sensor Input (DI, GND), Relay (DO), etc. numbers is
shown in order from the left.
Refer to the below image to link external devices.
GND used in Sensor Input, etc. is in common use for RS-232 connection.
When linking RS-232, the rest of signal lines are omitted as RXD & TXD & GND are connected only
and in case of linking to external device one on one, link RXD & TXD crossed.
