IP CAMERA

The D4000 tester supports a wide number of IP camera protocols, including ONVIF. Press the IP Camera button on the main page to connect to an IP camera.

Connect

To connect to a pre-configured camera, simply verify that the D4000 is connected to the network or camera and tap the connect button. To setup a camera for this function, from the main screen navigate to Setup > IP Setup > Setup IP Connection. See Setup – IP in this manual for more details.
The D4000 is only capable of decoding MJPEG video streams. When connecting to OpenEye IP cameras, the D4000 is capable of sending a command to switch the camera from H.264 or MPEG4 to MJPEG for display, and then switching the camera back when disconnecting.
For all other cameras, verify that the camera is set to MJPEG before connecting.
30564AA 19

Device Search

Use the Device Search function to search for cameras on the network.
Tap the Device Search i con, or press enter on t he tester ’s k ey pad to begin sear chi ng. The tester will search the network for all available network devices.
Once the tester has finished searching, it will display a list of the discovered cameras by IP address.
To connect to a camera, select the camera by tapping the radio button next to that camera. Enter the Username and Password and tap CONNECT.
20

UPnP Search

The D4000 can also perform a UPnP search for network devices.
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) is a network protocol that many IP cameras include and can be used to discover devices on the network. Once the tester has finished searching, it will display a list of the discovered cameras by IP address.

IP Camera Control

When connected to an IP the tester displays ZOOM in the lower right hand corner of the screen.
When you tap ZOOM the video will “zoom” by displaying the video at full resolution. You can use the left, right, up and down keys on the tester’s keypad to move the image.
When finished press the escape key to exit the camera view.
30564AA 21

CABLE TEST

The D4000 can be used to test network cables quickly and easily. Tap the Cable Test button on the main screen to enter the Cable Test screen.
22
Plug one end of the cable into the CAT5 port on the right side of the tester, and the other end into the RJ-45 network cable terminator that came with the tester, then tap the green cable test button in the lower right corner, or press enter on the tester keypad. When the tester has completed testing, it will provide a map of the network cable.
The D4000’s cable tester accurately shows miss-wired cables, shorts, and open connections, allowing installers to quickly and easily diagnose network cable issues.

POE SETUP

The D4000 is capable of functioning as Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) for PoE devices or as a PoE pass-through to carry power to a device from external PSE.

D4000 as a Pass-Through

When using external Power sourcing equipment to power an IP camera or other network device, the D4000 can act as a PoE pass-through. Simply connect the network cable from the PSE to the RJ-45 port labeled LAN / PSE IN. Next connect a network cable from the camera to the RJ-45 port labeled LAN / POE OUT and set the Power Break switch on the side of the tester to the On position. This allows the PSE to provide power to the network device.

D4000 as the PSE

The D4000 tester can also provide power to a network device using the internal battery as the power source. Connect the camera to the LAN / POE OUT RJ-45 port on the D4000 and press the PSE button on the top of the screen to activate the PoE out, the camera will draw power from the tester’s internal battery unless the tester is plugged in.
30564AA 23

PoE Setup

Use the PoE Setup Screen to define the D4000 power source behavior.
Enable PoE when booting – This setting turns on the PoE output while the D4000 tester is booting. This enables installers to boot a PoE network device while the tester is booting, saving time.
PoE auto-shutdown – Defines the amount of time that the tester will wait after PSE button has been activated and PSE deactivation if the tester does not detect a PoE device. Use this function to conserve power.
