【Controlling Multiple AW-HE40 Cameras via AW-RP50 Controller】

Connecting multiple cameras is usually done by “AUTO SET IP” which is executed via AW-RP50

controller.

The controller detects the cameras in the same subnet (a range divided by a router), links them to the

camera numbers where [NoAsign] is set, and then automatically assigns pre-registered IP addresses to

those cameras.

Connection Setting: [SYSTEM] menu ＞[CAMERA CTL] ＞[CAM1 –100] ⇒[NoAsign]

IPAddress Setting: [SYSTEM] menu ＞[CAM IP ADR] ＞[CAM1 –100] ⇒[Registered IP Address]

①Press MENU button. –(Fig. 3-A)

②Press [10] SYSTEM button. –(Fig. 3-B)

③Turn F1 dial –(Fig. 3-C) to select [5] AUTO SET IP.

④Press F1 dial to make [RENEW IP ADR] appear on the lower half of the LCD screen.

＊If it does not appear, turn F2 dial –(Fig. 3-D) to make [RENEW IP ADR] appear.

⑤While [RENEW IP ADR] is displayed, press F2 dial. The number of units AW-RP50 has newly

detected and the number of units it currently manages (all the remote cameras and switchers) will be

displayed on the upper half of the LCD screen. (*1)

⑥[NO] will be displayed on the lower half of the LCD screen. So, turn F2 dial to select [YES] and then

press F2 dial.

⑦When [COMPLETE] is displayed on the lower half of the LCD screen, the setting-up is completed.

Example:

AW-RP50 detects Cameras A, B and C.

[CAMERA CTL] → [NoAsign] for all of [CAM1 – 3]

[CAM IP ADR] → If the following are IP addresses of [CAM1 – 3],

CAM1: 192. 168. 0. 10

CAM2: 192. 168. 0. 11

CAM3: 192. 168. 0. 12

IP addresses of the cameras are set up as follows.

Camera A: 192. 168. 0. 10 ＊Controlled via AW-RP50/CAM1

Camera B: 192. 168. 0. 11 ＊Controlled via AW-RP50/CAM2

Camera C: 192. 168. 0. 12 ＊Controlled via AW-RP50/CAM3

(*1) The cameras (C) and switchers (S) that AW-RP50 manages are displayed as follows.

After setting up, LED buttons 1 –3 at <CAMERA STATUS / SELECTION> on the AW-RP50 operation

panel light up according to the camera’s power status. If a camera is in STANDBY mode (turned off:

factory default), it lights up in orange. If in POWER ON mode (turned on), it lights up in green.
