The CTFID is supplied with a VP-USB adaptor that plugs into any USB-compliant port  
supported by a Windows® operating system. Once the CTFID software is loaded, the adaptor  
communicates over the video signal from any Bilinx-enabled camera or AutoDome.  
There are three (3) possible connection types to link the CTFID software to the imaging  
device. The first two (2) choices communicate via coax using the Bilinx protocol. These two  
(2) choices connect to either the USB or serial COMM port of the PC. The third choice is  
direct RS-232 connection between the PC COMM port and the imaging device (AutoDome  
only).  
3.1  
Connecting the VP-USB Configuration Tool  
It is recommended that the CTFID software be installed prior to connecting the hardware to  
the USB port. Refer to Section 2 Installing the CTFID, page 6 for additional information.  
To see the device output, use a CCTV monitor with looping inputs or a T connector (not  
provided) for the coaxial cable, and plug the second coaxial cable into the CCTV monitor.  
Ensure that the monitor is either auto-terminating or is set to low impedance. See Figure 3.1  
for an example of a typical CCTV monitor’s connections.

Connecting the VP-USB Configuration Tool to Your PC  
1. Insert the Configuration Tool USB cable into a USB port on your computer. The other end  
of the USB cable is permanently attached to the Configuration Tool hardware.  
2. Connect the coax from the VP-USB to the male connection of the BNC “T” connector.  
3. Connect a coaxial cable to the input of the monitor.  
4. Connect the other end of the monitor’s coaxial cable into one of the female connections  
on the BNC “T” connector.  
5. Connect the coax from the camera to the other female connection of the BNC “T”  
connector.

Connecting the VP-RS2BLNX Configuration Tool  
It is recommended that the CTFID software be installed prior to connecting the hardware to  
the serial port. Refer to Section 2 Installing the CTFID, page 6 for additional information.  
To see the device output, use a CCTV monitor. Plug the coax connected to the imaging device  
to one of the BNC connectors of the VP-RS2BLNX. Connect another coax between the second  
BNC connector and the CCTV monitor. Ensure that the monitor is either auto-terminating or is  
set to low impedance. See Figure 3.3 for an example of a typical CCTV monitor’s connections.

Connecting the VP-RS2BLNX Configuration Tool to Your PC  
1. Pin 1 and 2 of the terminal block are for the connections for the external power supply  
not provided. The external power supply should be either 12-28 VAC (50/60 Hz) or 12-  
40 VDC (polarity independent). Galvanically insulated from video, RS-232 ground and  
encasing.  
NOTICE! The Serial to Bilinx converter interface shall be supplied by a self-limited power  
source of less than 15 VA. Reinforced insulation is provided between input and output by  
safety transformer and distances on the PCB. USA/Canada: The Serial to Bilinx converter is a  
product for INDOOR use. It is intended for use with a UL-listed Class 2 power supply.  
2. Connect a cable between the terminal block of the VP-RS2BLNX Configuration Tool to  
the serial port on the computer. Refer to the pin out table below for the proper  
connections.

to the device using the serial interface.  
Camera/dome settings can be changed while connected to a device in Online mode.  
Alternatively, use Offline mode to download and save data so that it can be manipulated and  
uploaded to the same or other similar devices.  
Accessing the CTFID  
1. Double-click the Configuration Tool for Imaging Devices icon located on your desktop  
window.  
- or -  
Click the Windows Start button and select Programs. Then select the Configuration Tool  
for Imaging Devices folder. Finally, select the Configuration Tool for Imaging Devices

Migrating Configuration Settings  
The Migration feature allows an operator to download the configuration settings of one  
AutoDome then upload those settings to another AutoDome. This feature ensures that the  
settings of each AutoDome in a surveillance system are configured the same way.  
The CTFID saves downloaded settings in a configuration file (.ctm) on the operator’s  
computer. To upload the settings stored in the .ctm file, the operator connects another  
AutoDome to the computer that contains the CTFID application and has access to the  
configuration file. Next, the operator uses the Migration upload utility to copy the settings in  
the configuration file to the AutoDome.  
Note: Migration is available for transferring settings only between AutoDomes. If you attempt  
to migrate settings between an AutoDome and another imaging device or between two non-  
AutoDome imaging devices, the CTFID relays a message that the imaging devices are  
incompatible.  
1. Connect an AutoDome to a computer that contains the CTFID application.  
Ensure that you can connect this computer to the AutoDome that is to upload the  
configuration settings.  
2. Launch the CTFID application on a computer that you can connect to different  
AutoDomes.  
3. Configure the offline or online settings for the AutoDome using the CTFID main screen.  
4. Click the Migration button.  
Figure 5.6 Migration window  
5. Select the Download radio button and click OK.  
The CTFID collects the parameters for each AutoDome setting, then opens the Save As  
dialog box.

7. Type a name for the file in the File name input box and click Save.  
You return to the CTFID main screen.

9. Connect the AutoDome that is to upload the settings to the computer.  
10. Launch the CTFID application and ensure that the tool connects to the AutoDome.

Troubleshooting  
The following section details information to confirm that the CTFID application is properly  
functioning.  
7.1  
Confirm System Connection between the PC and the Device  
When the Configuration Software is started, the application automatically detects and  
connects to the attached device. The Online Configuration button is enabled when a  
connected device is detected. Settings for that device should download into the application.  
To confirm that the device is connected to the application on the PC:  
1. Verify that you are in Online mode (the Online Configuration button should have a yellow  
background).  
2. Verify that the Connection Status Indicator icon (displayed in the System Feedback area)  
indicates that a connection has been made.  
If the application is not detecting a connected device:  
1. Check the device to ensure that it is working properly.  
2. Verify that there are no loose connections between the Configuration Tool hardware and  
the PC and the Configuration Tool hardware and the device.  
3. Verify that the green light on the Configuration Tool hardware is illuminated.  
4. If necessary, disconnect the Configuration Tool hardware from the PC and reconnect it.  
5. Review the Status text box in the System Feedback section (lower text box in the main  
screen). If the application is connected to a device, download confirmation messages are  
displayed.

7.2  
Device Error  
If you attempt to open a file that has been configured for a different device, a warning  
message is displayed. Click OK and open a file that has been correctly configured.
