11Manual Ref: xLCD390
Powering Cameras
One of the most convenient features of the LCD390 is
the power output which allows you to power cameras
using the test monitor itself.
This is great when testing cameras where power cables
have not yet been installed or if you wish to take a
camera down so you're not testing up a ladder.
There are two options available for powering cameras,
either using the 12V DC output or via POE.
Powering Cameras Using POE
To power a POE compatible camera simply connect
an RJ45 patch lead such as the one supplied from the
camera to Network Port 1 (Blue).
Note: The maximum POE output is 25.5W. If this is exceeded
the output will be terminated automatically.
Powering Cameras Using The 12V Output
To power a 12V DC camera connect the supplied
2.1mm DC Power Lead from the 12V DC output of the
LCD390 to the 12V DC input of the camera.
Note: The maximum 12V output is 2A. If this is exceeded
the output will be terminated automatically.
If a POE device is connected to Network Port 1 the
12V DC output will be disabled.

ONVIF Test
The ONVIF Test is a three step process designed for
troubleshooting, conguring and controlling ONVIF
compatible cameras.
The comprehensive test allows you to view and
amend IP settings, perform Ethernet tests, discover
and congure IP cameras, view live images, control
PTZs and much more.
Connecting To Cameras & Networks
All connections for ONVIF testing are made using an
RJ45 patch lead.
When testing individual cameras these can be
connected to either network port 1 or 2 but only port 1
provides a POE output.
Note: For more information on powering cameras using
the LCD390 see page 11 - Powering Cameras.
If you are connecting to a network switch this again can
be connected to either network port 1 or 2.
ONVIF Test 1: Ethernet & IP Testing
The Link Test displays various speeds, network
information and IP settings for connected devices.
TIP
When connecting to a POE compatible
network switch, using Network Port 2 (Green)
will recharge the test monitor while you
are testing. The PD light will turn orange
showing POE power is being received.

13Manual Ref: xLCD390
ONVIF Test

possible options, Static IP, DHCP request and DHCP server.
Link Speed
Shows the link speed of the connected device.
IP devices have three possible link speeds
10M, 100M or 1000M. This is followed by ' FD '
(Full Duplex), meaning the connected device
can both send and receive information at the
same time or ' HD ' (Half Duplex), when the
connected device can only send or receive
information not both at the same time.
The message ' Link Down ' is displayed if no
connection can be established.
Packet Loss

ONVIF Test
ONVIF Test 1: Choosing IP Mode
The LCD390 allows you to choose between static IP,
DHCP request and DHCP server. This can be set during
ONVIF testing as explained below.
DHCP Request
This is the default IP mode and the mode used when
connecting to and testing networks which support
DHCP (Dynamic Host Conguration Protocol).
To request an IP address for the test monitor press
the 'IRIS -' button on the front panel when in the 'Link
Test' screen. If successful the new IP address assigned
by the server will be displayed in the grey bar.
DHCP Server
This mode enables the LCD390 to act as a DHCP
server and can be used when connecting to DHCP
compatible devices and networks.
When connected, any device requesting an IP address
will be assigned one by the test monitor based on its
own IP address.
Static IP
To manually assign a static IP address to LCD390 press
the 'SET' button at the ' Link Test ' screen.
In this screen you will see a list of recently used IP
addresses and a list of commonly used IP addresses.

15Manual Ref: xLCD390
ONVIF Test
TIP
You can save your own commonly used IP
addresses by selecting an existing address
and pressing 'SET'. A much easier alternative
to repeatedly typing in the same IP address.
To create a new IP address press the ' SET ' button.
Input the IP address, Subnet mask and Gateway
using the fold-out keyboard and then press ' IRIS + ' to
conrm your input.
Note: For more information on using the fold-out
keyboard see page 8.
Use the arrow keys to highlight an IP address then
press ' IRIS + ' to conrm your selection.
ONVIF Test 2: Discovering Cameras
The second step of the ONVIF Test is discovering and
conguring compatible cameras. When entering this
step the LCD390 will automatically search for ONVIF
cameras connected directly to the test monitor or on
connected networks.
The device list is populated if and when ONVIF devices
are discovered. The IP address and/or the device name

ONVIF Test
are displayed along with a video snapshot (snapshot
only displays for compatible cameras and if authorisation
is not required). The Up and Down arrow key can be used
to scroll through the list of discovered devices.
If a device expected to appear does not show in the list
you can search again by pressing the ' FOCUS - ' button.
If a camera still doesn't appear it may not be responding
to the ONVIF request or the subnet settings may not
match those of the test monitor. If this happens you will
need to return to the 'Static IP' section on page 14 to
make sure the test monitor's local IP address is within
the same subnet as the camera.
If this also fails you can try manually adding the camera
as explained in the following section.
Adding Cameras Manually
To manually add a camera press the ' ZOOM - ' button.
When manually adding IP cameras you will need to know
the camera's full IP address and ONVIF service path.
At the 'Manual Add Camera' screen enter the
camera's URL then press the 'IRIS +' button to conrm.
TIP
After typing the camera's IP address you
can press the 'TAB' button to automatically
add '/onvif/device_service'.

17Manual Ref: xLCD390
ONVIF Test
TIP
You can press the 'FOCUS +' button to
open the 'Code Book'. The code book is a
list of common user name and password
combinations such as admin - admin. Use
the arrow keys to highlight a combination
and press 'IRIS +' select it. You can also
edit the available options and save your
own commonly used user name and
password combinations.
Video Snapshot & Information
Highlight the camera you wish to view and after a
few seconds a snapshot of the camera's video will be
displayed to the right of the camera list if supported.
Above the snapshot you will see the resolution, frame
rate and compression method of the camera's video.
Some cameras require authorisation and the message
' Authorisation Required ' will be displayed. Press the
' IRIS - ' button to enter the authorisation screen.
Enter the camera's user name and password then
