what is a telemetry board? Do i need one of these?

the cam came pre terminated with screws that say rs 485+ and rs485-. Im still confused on the pins on the adapter as to wich screws i want., if i need a ground and if i need power. At this point im ready to throw everything away and start over.

I have it set at 9600 now. Its not a popular ptz. It was only 500 bucks or so. Right now i only have about 4 ft of wire from the computer to the camera and only have one wired. I wonder if the adapter is bad or is the wrong one or the pins are in the wrong place. Here is the adapter i have. http://cgi.ebay.com/New-Non-Powered-RS-232-RS-485-Interface-Converter_W0QQitemZ130043352455QQihZ003QQcategoryZ41995QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

I have the adress, the protocal and the baud rate correct. It is saying something about the 120 resitor in the camera book. The cam does not have one and i do need to add it. What is it and where do i get one. Thanks

No Luck, Jumped the wires as directed and nothing. Nothing happens at all. Is the software working with the com port? Do I have a bad 485 adapter? Do I need a seperate ptz controler? Im really confused and hope you guys can walk me thru it.

No manuel for the rs 485, none for the dvr card but i do have one for the camera. Do I need a seperate control keyboard other than the sofware?

I will try that. I also read in the manual about a 120 resistor

it says hexin on it but i dont see a switch. Is it inside?

NO, It still wont work and im losing my mind. Tried various protocals and nothing. I have video and i get movement through test mode but nothing through the rs 485. I dunno what the heck to do.HELP

I have been trying on the t screws. I will have to try that tonight. I hope it works.

I have a pc based system with ptz cameras. I have changed the protocals on the softwar and the cameras but still no movement. I was wondering what screws im to use on the rs 485 adapter? It has five on it. The adapter is plugged into com 1 and the software is set too com one. The cards work awsome in every way except movement. Please Help
