4.2.3 Using the Interface
Once you have connected the IP Camera to the Tester using one of the options listed in the
previous section, follow these steps to perform IP Camera testing:
STEP 1: Power Up the Tester
Press the Power Button on the side of your Tester to turn it on if it is not already powered on.
STEP 2: Select ONVIF Test
On the Main Menu, highlight “ONVIF Test” (press the MODE button to enter the Main Menu if you
are not already on it). Once the “ONVIF Test” option is highlighted, press the Right Arrow Key to
select the test.
STEP 3: Performing the Link Test
The screen should now be showing “1. Link Test” just below the Title Bar. (For more details
about the Link Test screen, see pages 16 - 17.) Confirm activity on Network Port 1 (you should
see a green light flashing on the ethernet port where the camera/network is connected to the
Tester), adjust settings as necessary (e.g., modify the IP, DHCP, or link speed, etc.), then press the
Right Arrow Key to move to the Discover screen.
STEP 4: Discovering the Camera
When entering the Discover screen, theTester software will broadcast an ONVIF discover message to
discover ONVIF cameras. You may need to wait a few minutes for the Tester to find all of the
cameras, particularly if it is a large network. The text above the list will show the number of
cameras discovered. If there is more than one camera listed, Arrow Up/Down to highlight the
camera you want to test.
Some cameras may not respond to the ONVIF discover request, or cannot reply due to different IP
subnet settings. In this case, you should return to Step 2 and set the Tester’s local IP to be within
the same subnet as the camera (remember, your Tester’s IP cannot be in conflict with other de-
vices on the network). After that is done, enter Step 3 to try discovering the cameras again. If the
camera(s) still cannot be discovered, then you can use the Manual Add function.
Manually Adding a Camera:
To manually add a camera, you must know the camera’s exact IP and ONVIF service path.
Once you have that information, press Zoom- while on the Discover screen, type the
camera’s IP address into the field labelled “URL”, then press the TAB Key to add the
ONVIF path.
For example, if the camera’s IP address is 10.1.1.100, you would enter that into the “URL”
field and then press the TAB Key. The Tester should then automatically append the
