 Network tool

1. IP address scan
   Connect the cable to the LAN port, click the icon to enter, set your IP address search range by changing the Start and End IP addresses.
   Click the “Start” button to scan the IP address range. You can also input an IP address in the Port Number Scan to scan for open ports.
   

2. PING Test
   Application: PING testing is the most conventional network debugging tool. It is used for testing if the connected. IP camera or other network equipment’s Ethernet port is working normally, and the IP address is correct.
   It is normal that the first data packet will be lost when testing starts.

3. Network test (Ethernet bandwidth test)
   To use the Network tester, you will need two IP testers. One is used as a Server and the other as a Client. In order to communicate, both devices must be on the same network segment.

4. Port Flashing
   Application:
   The tester will send special signals to make the connected LAN port flicker at a special frequency, which will aid the installer in finding the connected Ethernet cable easily and quickly. This function can prevent mistakenly inserting or disconnecting the wrong cable and
   interrupting the network connection.

5. DHCP server
   Click on the DHCP icon to open the DHCP server app. Select the “Start” check box at the top and make any desired changes to the networks
   settings. Click “Save” to start assigning dynamic IP addresses for IP cameras and other networked devices. Click the “Refresh” button to
   check your Client list.
   

6. Traceroute
   It is used to determine the path of the IP packet access target.
   Note: Traceroute testing results only for reference, for accurate test route tracking, use a professional Ethernet tester.

7. Link monitor
   This app is used to see if an IP address is occupied by other network devices. This will avoid new address conflicts.

RJ45 cable TDR test

Connect the cable to the tester’s LAN port, click the icon “ ” to enter app.
Single test: Test cable status, length, and attenuation.
Repeat test: Continue to test cable status, length, and attenuation.
Status: After link-up, the screen displays “online”, or for an open circuit, the screen displays “open circuit”, if the cable pair has a short circuit, the screen displays “short circuit”.
Length: The max test length is 180 meters, when the cable is open circuit or short circuit, can test the cable length, if screen display “online”, the testing result would not be accurate.
Cable quality test: Green is good quality cable, Yellow is poor quality cable, Red is water damaged cable, the attenuation value will be displayed when a cable is over 10 meters.
Advanced Test: Test cable pair status, length, attenuation, reflectivity, impedance, skew, and other parameters.
Attenuation reflectivity: After link-up, if the reflectivity value is 0, it is the best quality communication
Impedance: After link-up, if the impedance value is 100 Ω, it is the best quality communication, the range is generally in 85-135 Ω
Skew: After 1000M link up, if the skew value is 0ns, it is the best quality communication, if over 50ns, it will cause a Bit Error Rate in the transmission.
Click “Help”, check the instruction of all parameters.

Cable Tester

Click the icon to enter.
Test LAN cable or telephone cable.
Connect LAN cable or telephone cable with the CCTV tester and cable tester. And then the connecting status, cable type, and the sequence of wires as well as the serial number of the cable tester kit will be displayed.
The number of the cable tester is 255.
Quickly detect the near-end, mid-end, and far-end fault point of the RJ45 cable connector

Cable test:

Tap “Diagram of the cable sequence”, pop up the connection diagram of the Straight-through cable and crossover cable. You can then create a test report.

PoE / DC12V 3A power output

When the tester is turned on, the DC12V power output functions are automatically turned on.
To use the PoE Power Output function, change the switch “ON” or “OFF”.
The IP camera needs to connect to the LAN port before you turn on PoE Power. If the IP camera supports PoE, the PoE power is delivered via pins 1, 2, 3, and 6 on the LAN port. The IP tester will display “48V ON” at the top of the screen when the POE power is on.

Note:

1. Do not input power into the “DC12/3A OUTPUT” port.
2. Do not output the DC12V/3A power into the DC12V/IN port of the IP camera tester.
3. The IPC tester power output is close to 3A, if the IP camera’s power is over 3A, the tester will auto-enter protection mode. Disconnect all tester connections and then connect the tester with the power adaptor to continue.
4. Before turning on the PoE power output, make sure the IP camera supports PoE power. Otherwise, it may damage the IP camera.
5. Before turning on PoE power output, connect the IP camera to the LAN port of the tester.
6. Make sure the tester is fully charged or more than 80% charged, or it will show “low power”, “not able to supply power”.
