GigE Server Verification
After a successful Sapera Network Imaging package installation, the GigE Server icon is
visible in the desktop taskbar tray area (note that in Windows 7 the icon remains
hidden until a camera is connected). After connecting a camera (see following section),
allow a few seconds for the GigE Server status to update. The A68/A38 camera must
be on the same subnet as the NIC to be recognized by the GigE Server.
