Enabling COM Ports (Upgrade Situtations Only)
When upgrading an existing DVX system to enable PTZ capability, you must enable the COM ports on the DVX system. To
verify that the COM ports are enabled on your system, view the PTZ tab on the Setup page in MasterControl on the DVX
system. If the COM ports are not enabled, the following message is displayed on the PTZ tab:
Unable to detect COM ports on your system. You must install a COM port
to use PTZ cameras.
If this message appears, you must enable the COM (serial) ports in the system BIOS. For assistance, please contact the
Technical Support Center at 1-720-872-9100.
NOTE: The PTZ tab is available in MasterControl only if you have entered a valid PTZ license key. See the front page of
this document for details.
