Connecting a Bosch IntuiKey keyboard to Bosch VMS
This chapter provides background information on configuring a Bosch IntuiKey keyboard.
Scenarios for Bosch IntuiKey keyboard connections
You can connect a Bosch IntuiKey keyboard to the COM port of a Bosch VMS workstation
(scenario 1) or to a hardware decoder (e.g. VIP XD, scenario 2).
If you connect the keyboard to a Bosch VMS workstation, you can control the complete
system. If you connect the keyboard to a decoder, you can only control the analog monitors of
the system.
If you connect the keyboard to an Enterprise Operator Client, you can control the cameras of a
specific Management Server by first pressing the server key to type in the number of this
server and then type the camera number.
Notice!
For connecting the Bosch IntuiKey keyboard with a Bosch VMS workstation, use the specified
Bosch cable.
For connecting the Bosch IntuiKey keyboard with a VIP XD decoder, you need a cable which
connects a serial COM port of the keyboard with the serial interface of the decoder. See
