CONNECTING SERIAL PTZ
The DX4104 has two RS-485 ports on the rear panel. You can connect multiple PTZ devices in a daisy chain from either port. Be sure to
disconnect power from any camera before connecting its data leads to the unit.
To connect the data leads from a serial PTZ device to the DX4104:
1. Using a small screwdriver (or similar tool), push in the TX– wire retainer on the first data port on the terminal block.
2. Insert the RX– data wire from the PTZ device into the TX– retainer.
3. Push in the TX+ wire retainer on the first data port on the terminal block.
4. Insert the RX+ data wire from the PTZ device into the TX+ retainer.
5. To connect a PTZ device to the second data port, repeat steps 1 through 4.
6. To connect additional PTZ devices in a daisy chain, refer to the documentation supplied with the PTZ devices.
NOTES: Maximum distance for serial communication lines is 4,000 ft (1,219 m) between the DX4104 and the last PTZ device on the daisy chain.

After installation, you need to configure the communication settings and the PTZ protocol for the DX4104 as well as the PTZ device. The DX4104
supports Pelco D (2-wire control only), Pelco P, and other PTZ protocols (refer to Table B).
NOTE: The BOSCH_AUTODOME protocol is not supported at this time.
For information about configuring the unit for PTZ operation, refer to the DX4104 Server Operation/Configuration manual. For information about
