Verify Camera Operation with FSM

This chapter provides information on how to perform a bench test with a new camera that has
not yet been configured. A bench test can be used to verify camera operation before the
camera is configured for the local network.
2.1

Power and analog video

Install the camera cables as described in the installation manual. Apply power to the camera
and confirm it is supplying video to the monitor.
After the camera is turned on and finishes the bootup process (after approximately 90
seconds), the video temporarily displays system information including the serial number, IP
address, Pelco address, Baud rate, and the setting of the Software Override DIP switch: SW -
software control (the default) or HW - hardware.
S/N: 1234567
IP Addr: 192.168.250.116
PelcoD (Addr:1): 9600 SW
2.2

Verify IP Communications

As shipped from the factory, the Nexus camera has an IP address of 192.168.250.116 with
a netmask of 255.255.255.0.
Step 1 Configure a laptop or PC with another IP address from this network (for example,
192.168.250.1).
Step 2 Connect the camera and the laptop to the same Ethernet switch (or back-to-back with
an Ethernet crossover cable).
Step 3 Open a web browser
enter http://192.168.250.116 in the
address bar, and press Enter.
.The Web Configuration tool will start at the Login screen.
The Login screen shows a picture of the camera and allows
you to enter a User and Password. The login screen for the
F-Series camera appears to the right.
If the Login screen appears, then you have established IP
communications with the camera.
At this time, it is recommended a bench test of the camera
should be performed with the FLIR Sensors Manager
software, using the camera's factory-configured IP address.
1. In some cases, a straight Ethernet cable can be used, because many PCs have auto detect
Ethernet interfaces.
2. FLIR Web Configuration Tool is optimized for Microsoft Internet Explorer; other web browsers
may not work as well.
