Certifications
CE Compliance
The TS-9720EN series of cameras has been certified to conform to the requirements of Council Directive 89/336/EC for elec-
tromagnetic compatibility and to comply with the following European Standards:
EMC EN55022A: 1998 + A1: 2000 + A2: 2003;
EN55024: 1998 + A1: 2001 + A2: 2003
All JAI PULNiX products bearing the CE mark have been declared to be in conformance with the applicable EEC Council
Directives. However, certain factory-installed options or customer-requested modifications may compromise electromagnetic
compatibility and affect CE compliance. Please note that the use of interconnect cables that are not properly grounded and
shielded may affect CE compliance.
Contact the JAI PULNiX Applications Engineering Department for further information regarding CE compliance.
FCC
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the
FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is

Introduction
TS-9720EN Series Progressive Scan Shutter Cameras
•Static/DHCP support for TCP/IP configuration
•Image transfer over Ethernet using FTP over TCP/IP
•Frame date/time stamp facility with user-definable text strings
•High quality JPEG encoding
•Automatic dynamic range control and maximum contrast images using the optional Smart Light
Sensor
1.4 Product Description
The TS-9720EN camera is an all-in-one progressive scan and Ethernet CCD camera, with a built in
image capture/storage function, and image-processing software using a built-in PowerPC processor. The
TS-9720EN performs JPEG compression and automatic FTP transmission of captured images to a file
server.
Typical applications for the TS-9720EN include Automatic Number Plate Reader (ANPR/ LPR),
vehicle fingerprints (vehicle matching technology), optical character recognition (OCR), and region-of-
interest extraction (ROI), as used in the market for ITS (Intelligent Transportation Systems). The
TS-9720EN supports external event triggering, dynamic light sensor and tampering alarm input, and
provides the best quality and sensitivity images for ITS applications. Applications include machine
vision, medical imaging, intelligent transportation systems, high-definition graphics, on-line inspection,
gauging, character reading, archiving, and high-security surveillance.

2.1 Required Equipment
FIGURE 1. Typical Equipment Setup
•PD-12 power supply
•Cat5e/6 Ethernet cable
•10/100/1 G Ethernet switch
•Debug-232 serial/power cable (JAI PULNiX part number 31013219)
2.2 Network Settings
2.2.1 Default Network Settings for the TS-9720EN Camera
The factory default network setting for the TS-9720EN is the following:
IP address : 10.0.0.65
Subnet mask : 255.255.255.0
Default gateway : 255.255.255.255 (disabled)
You must set up your computer network properly in order to allow it to communicate with the
TS-9720EN camera. It is very important to that your PC NOT be assigned the same IP address as the
camera. If you need to change the IP address, follow the instructions in Section 2.2.2 on page 4.

2.2.2 Changing the IP Address of the TS-9720EN Camera
If you need to change the IP address of your TS-9720EN camera, you can do so using either the EN
setup software or the debug RS-232 serial/power cable. Choose the method that is most appropriate for
your application, and follow the steps listed.
2.2.2 (a) Changing the IP Address of the TS-9720EN Camera Using the EN Setup Software
You can use the EN setup software to change the IP address of the TS-9720EN camera. To so do, follow
the steps below.
1. First, set up your PC’s network setting properly so that your PC has the 10.0.0.XX subnet.
However, XX must not be 65, because the host PC’s IP address cannot be the same as that of the
camera. The subnet address must be 255.255.255.0.
2. Next, open the EN setup software. If you are starting this software for the first time, you will be
asked to type your password. Your case-sensitive user name and password are as follows:
User name: Administrator
Password: Password
3. Click the “Properties” button. You will see the EN cameras that are in the network.
4. Click the icon of the camera you want to change. Once it is selected, find the “IP address” register
and change the IP address of the camera.
5. Right-click on the camera icon and select “Reboot.” This option will reboot the camera.
6. The camera will now start up with a new IP address.
2.2.2 (b) Changing the IP Address of the TS-9720EN Camera Using the Debug RS-232 Serial/
Power Cable
You can use the debug RS-232 serial/power cable to access the BIOS menu and change the IP address of
the TS-9720EN camera. To do so, follow the steps below.
1. First set up your hyperterminal as 9600-8-N-1. Start up the TS-9720EN. You should now see the
BIOS start-up code.
2. Type “/” to stop the normal camera boot-up and to start the BIOS test mode.
3. Type “3” to select the “IP address change” setting.
4. Type “1” to select the first network interface, and then “1” again to change the local IP address.
5. Type the IP address you want to change.
6. Type “0” to return to the main menu, and then type “0” to start up the normal boot-up.

3.1.3 Live Image Capturing/Focusing
Click the “Video” button.
Highlight the icon of the camera you want to see. Click the
“Full Size” and “Live” video buttons. You will now see a
live video image. The live image is generated by an internal
trigger mechanism inside the EN camera. This internal
trigger is independent of either FTP or message-based TCP
image. Also, during live image display, Flash is disabled at nighttime.
The “Snap” button captures only a single video image. The “Freeze” button disables the “Live” image
option.
Use the “Live” or “Snap” buttons only while the camera is being set up, for when you want to see the
maximum frame rate of the video image to focus the lens.
