In addition, the LTC 8100, LTC 8200, and LTC 8300 Series
systems provide the capability to control on-site receiver/driver
units including the AutoDome series of integral
pan/tilt/zoom/camera dome series.
The LTC 8300 Series systems contain a logging printer output
port to which an inexpensive RS-232 serial printer may be
attached. This provides a permanent record showing time and
date of changes to the system status such as:
1.
Incoming Alarms.
2.
Acknowledgment of alarms by users.
3.
Loading of sequences.
4.
User log-on to keyboard or console port.
5.
Console broadcast message.
6.
Console transfer of system tables.
7.
Activation of Time Event Functions.
8.
Power-up reset message.
9.
Video loss message.
The printer may also be used to provide a hard copy of all system
configuration Tables and Sequences.
If a logging printer port is required for the LTC 8200 or LTC
8100 Series systems, the console port can be converted to operate
in this mode through DIP switch configuration or by using the
appropriate Command Console Language command (CCL).
Refer to the CCL manual for complete details.
If a logging printer and a standard console port is required for the
LTC 8200 or LTC 8100 Series systems, an LTC 8712 Series
Console Port Expander can be used to add additional console
ports to the system.
