The Camber designs require a few things to be set differently. 

First, Camber designs do not use BRS request, but rather base curve charts which are provided by IOT.  These charts must be set up in Rx-Universe by the lab, and the lens style set to use the appropriate chart.  For example, if the chart is set up using chart "CA", then the lens style must be set to use that chart; on the lens style General tab:

Second, the donor blanks (pucks) used for Camber designs have aspheric, degressive-style front surfaces.  IOT allows them to be blocked either upside-down, or in a "default" setting.  When using Rx-Universe, they should be blocked "upside-down", the same as a progressive would be (with the add portion of the blank "up" on the blocker). 

Third, the Camber designs use VCA labels to identify whether the lens is photochromatic, or polarized, and what color the lens is. If using an older implementation of IOT, it is possible these labels might not be in the list of labels sent to the calculator from Rx-Universe.  This can be easily changed by modifying the LDI file for IOT to include PHOTO and POLAR.  Please see the section on 1.1 Use of LDI (initialization files) with Digital Vendors for more information on this.
