Click “Start”. The IP tester sends a unique signal to make the connected LAN port of the switch flash
Page.35.
If the tester and PoE switch are connected well, the LAN port of POE switch flash at special frequency,
If not, no any changes on the LAN port
Application:
The tester will send special signals to make the connected LAN port flicker at special frequency, which
will enable the installers to easily and quickly find the connected Ethernet cable. This function can
prevent mistakenly insertion or disconnection non-corresponding cable to artificially interrupt network
connection.

Audio Record:Connect an audio device t the IP tester’s audio input port. Click the icon to enter
the Audio Recorder app. Click the red button to stop, and the unit will prompt you to save the recording.
Net work 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.
Both devices must be on the same net work segment in order to communicate. Click the icon to
open the Network Tester app.
Note:Network test results only used as a reference,For more accurate test , please use a professional
Ethernet tester .
When test , need a a tester or a computer installed Network Test Software as the Server, the other tester
sends packet test.The two testers must be in the same network segment.
1. Start the server:Click “Start Server” button to use the tester as a Server. It will display its IP
address at the top of the screen.
Page.43.
2. Start send packet test::Using the other IP tester and type in the Server's IP address at the top right
corner of the screen. This app is used to send packets for network speed testing. Click the “Start” button
to send the packets and start testing.
Network bandwidth testing can also be tested with a computer using compatible network bandwidth
testing software. Install network bandwidth testing software on a computer,as a test Client or
Server,with tester mutual –testing. If computer as the server,the computer IP address is :192.168.0.89
Page.44.
Tester as Client, tester’s IP address is:192.168.0.230. The Server and the Client are at the same network
segment, but with different IP address. Input Server’s IP address 192.168.0.89 in the tester and click
“Start” to test network bandwidth.
Or tester as a Server, computer as test Client（select Client, input tester’s IP address to test）
Page.45.
When tester as Server, shows results:
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 network 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.
“Refresh” to check received IP address.
Notepad:
Click on the Notepad icon to open the Notepad app. Click the “Save” key to save the contents
Page.46.
pls click to view the notepad , all saving contents display. Click each record bar to show the
details. Press the record bar for several seconds, prompt whether delete it
Link monitor :
Click the icon to open the Link Monitor app. This app is used to see if an IP address is occupied
by other network devices. This will avoid new address conflicts.
Click “Add” and enter the desired IP address. To test different network segments, click the “Settings”
icon on the main menu and go to IP Settings and make the desired changes. Once the desired IP
addresses are added to the Link Monit or list, click “Start”. If the IP address status shows a check mark
the IP address is occupied. If the IP address status shows an X the IP address is available. Click “Stop”
to stop the testing.
Page.47.
Application:
Add an IP camera or other network device to the current network group, the new IP address must not be
occupied, otherwise it will cause IP conflicts and stop the equipment normal working. Link monitor can
check if the new setting IP address is occupied.
RTSP Player :
The RTSP Player app will allow you to view the RTSP video stream from an IP camera. If you were
unable to view your camera via the ONVIF or IPC Test apps, it is possible your camera will have an
RTSP stream and you can view live video.
From the main menu, select the “APP Tool” folder and then select the “RTSP Player” to open the app.
If the IP camera uses MJPEG, select the RTSP icon. If the IP camera uses H.264, select the “RTSP HD”
icon.
Page.48.
Local IP: This is the IP testers IP address.
RTSP Add: This is where you can manually enter the IP camera’s RTSP URL or click on Search to
search the network for cameras that use an RTSP stream.
IPC Username: Enter the IP camera’s user name.
IPC Password: Enter the IP camera’s password.
Once you have entered all the necessary information, select Enter at the bottom left to view the RTSP
stream.
Note: in the event the ip tester does not auto detect the rtsp stream, refer to the specific camera
manufacturer for the specific rtsp stream url. you may find this on line with a search of the
camera model number and the word rtsp.
Trace route:
Trace route is used to determine path of the IP packet access target.
Note:Trace route testing results only for reference, for accurate test route tracking,Pls use professional
Ethernet tester.
Click to enter Trace Route
Input tracking IP address or domain name in the Remote Host IP. Set maximum hop count, normally
default is 30
Page.49.
Click “start” to trace the goal address
IP discovery
Using IP discovery app ,you don’t need to know the first two digits of camera’s IP address , it can
auto-scan the whole network segment IP, and auto-modify tester’s IP address , greatly improved
engineering efficiency .
Step 1: Connect IP camera to tester’s LAN port, if connected well, the green indicator on and yellow
indicator flashes.
Step 2: Press IP discovery , tester auto-scan the whole network segment IP, as well as
auto-modify the tester‘s IP and the scanned camera's IP at the same network segment. No need to
modify the tester’s IP manually.
Page.50.
If select "Temp IP", after searching IP address, the modified tester’s IP address will not be saved, if you
do not select “Temp IP,” the modified tester’s IP address will auto-save after searching.
Click "Start", can PING camera’s IP, check the network connectivity.
Step 3: Click “Rapid ONVIF”, tester will auto- log in and display image from the camera, then click
“IPC TEST”, select the camera type, and start to test.
Note: 1) IP discovery app, when testing, it is mainly for connecting camera and tester by cable
directly.
2) If connect Local area network, IP display app can work.
3) IP discovery app cannot work if connect wifi
Rapid ONVIF
Rapid ONVIF search camera quickly, auto log in and display image from the camera
Click Rapid onvif , tester can quickly search ONVIF camera, auto- log in and display the image

Power output function is mainly used in the camera field demonstration and testing, meanwhile, for
some camera installation sites, if there is no power outlet for the adapter to power the camera, the tester
can offer temporary power for it. But we do not suggest tester supply power for a long time.
Notice:
a. Don’t input any power into the “DC12/1A OUTPUT” port of the IP camera tester to avoid
destroy. man-made damage is not within the Company’s warranty
b. Don’t output this DC12V/1A power to DC12V/ IN port to avoid destroy. otherwise the tester will
damage, and man-made damage is not within the Company’s warranty.
c. The IPC tester power output is close to 1A, if the IP camera’s power is over 1A, the tester will
auto enter protection mode. Disconnect all the connections of the tester and then connect the
tester with power adaptor to resume the tester.
