6.1 Networktool
(1) IP address scan
Connect the cable to the LAN port, click icon to enter, set your IP address search range by changingthe 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 o pen ports.
(2) PING Test
Application: PING testing is the most conventional network debuggingtool. Itis used for testingif the connected. IP camera or other
network equipment’s Ethernet port is working normally, and the IPaddress is correct.
It is normal that the firstdata packet will be lost when testingstarts.
(3) Network test (Ethernetbandwidth 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 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
interruptingnetwork 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 t he 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.

(6) Trace route
It is used to determine the path of the IP packet access target.
Note: Trace route 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 willavoid new address conflicts.
6.2 RJ45 cable TDRtest
Connect cable to tester’s LAN port, click icon “ ” to enter app.
Single test: Test cable status, length and attenuation.
Repeat test: Continue to testcable 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.
Attenuationreflectivity: 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, itis 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.
