6.2. UTP Cable Test

To test UTP cable continuity, connect one end of the RJ45 cable to the "UTP/SCAN" port on the tester and the other end to the remote cable tester unit. The screen will display the continuity status of each pin. An "X" indicates a defective pair. For accurate length measurement, ensure the remote end of the cable is not connected to any other device.

6.3. RS485 PTZ Control

Connect the RS485 control cable from the tester's RS485 port to the PTZ camera. Use the PTZ Control buttons (refer to Figure 4) to adjust the camera's pan, tilt, and zoom. Access the PTZ settings menu to configure protocols, baud rate, and address if needed.
