Bypassing the autoexec execution on VC Smart Cameras
How do I bypass the autoexec execution on my VC Smart Camera?
- For serial Smart Cameras:
To bypass the execution of the Autoexec, press the "Esc" button on your keyboard repeatedly during power up. The terminal program on the PC side (e.g. TeraTerm, HyperTerminal, ProComm) has to be set to 9600 Bd during this process.
- For VC20xx ethernet Smart Cameras:
Execution of an Autoexec can be bypassed by attempting to connect with the terminal program while the camera is booting. This works best if the connection within the camera is started shortly after connecting the camera to a power supply. This prevents the autoexec file from execution.
Pressing Escape during camera power up on a keypad (order no. VK000002) connected to the trigger input does not only bypass the autoexec but also defaults the camera to the standard IP address of 192.168.0.65. This is the only way of accessing the camera if an invalid IP address has been created with the #IP file.
- For VC40xx ethernet Smart Cameras:
Bypassing the Autoexec Execution with VC40xx cameras can only be done using the VCnet Recovery Tool, available in the software section.
