Click on Show Status to open a window listing all devices connected to the host
system. Each GigE device is listed by name along with important information such as
the assigned IP address and device MAC address. The screen shot below shows a

In the event that the device is physically connected, but the Sapera GigE Server icon is
indicating that the connected device is not recognized, click Scan Network to restart
the discovery process. Note that the GigE server periodically scans the network
automatically to refresh its state. See the
problems.
Optimizing the Network Adapter used with A68/A38
Most Gigabit network interface controllers (NIC) allow user modifications to parameters
such as Adapter Buffers. These should be optimized for use with the A68/A38 during
the installation. Refer to the Teledyne DALSA Network Imaging package manual
for optimization information using the Network Configuration Tool.
