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
"Troubleshooting" on page 124 for network problems.
Optimizing the Network Adapter used with Linea GigE
Most Gigabit network interface controllers (NIC) allow user modifications to parameters such as
Adapter Buffers and Jumbo Frames. The optimal settings will be system dependent. These should
be optimized for use with the Linea GigE during the installation. Refer to the Teledyne DALSA
Network Imaging package manual for optimization information.
Running the Network Configuration Tool
The Network Configuration tool provides information and parameter adjustments for network
adapters installed in the system and any connected GigE Vision camera without use of any
Windows Control Panel application. This tool allows you to:
Activate the Network Imaging driver use for image acquisition on any NIC or disable the
•
imaging driver for any NIC not used with a GigE Vision camera.
•
Configure the NIC as a DHCP server for connected GigE Vision camera.
Change the Auto Discovery Interval from the default of 15 seconds.
•
Configure the NIC and camera IP settings.
•
•
Assign a User Defined name to a connected camera.
Assign a Persistent IP address to a camera instead of the default DHCP/LLA assigned address.
•
Important: Changes made with this tool may update Linea GigE parameters stored in flash memory. Do
not remove power from the camera for a minimum 10 seconds.
Refer to the Teledyne DALSA Network Imaging Module manual for more detailed information
on using this tool. As shown below, the Network Configuration tool can quickly verify and modify
certain network configuration items of the imaging system.
