EarlT 0 Posted March 23, 2012 I just got a Panasonic WV-CS954 and it has the base. Anyone know which pair on the RJ11 jack is used for a two wire RS485 hookup? I'm going to tie it to an Avigilon 4 port encoder. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EarlT 0 Posted March 23, 2012 Thanks AK. You always come through for me! I set all four rs485 dip switches to ON. Using this diagram, I ran a connection that works on my Costar 2500H assuming that r(a) is the same as rx + and r(b) is rx -. I couldn't get it to work. Thoughts anyone?

EarlT 0 Posted March 23, 2012 Took another stab at it this morning and no luck. The camera boots and positions quickly and quietly. I see the communication parameters when it boots and everything looks fine. The Avigilon encoder's RS485 plugs are labeled A and B, so do I connect A to the Pany R(a) or R(b)? I have tried both, but am unsure which is correct. Are the connections even polarized given the a and b designations vs + and -? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
