    Installation and hardware This chapter describes the components required for your vision system including configuring the host computer, Ethernet adapter settings, and connecting your Prosilica GT camera. Prosilica GT Technical Manual V2.8.1...

  • Page 19: Configuring The Host Computer

    Installation and hardware Configuring the host computer Allied Vision GigE Vision cameras can operate on 10/100 or Gigabit speed Ethernet adapters. In order to reach the maximum camera frame rate, a Gigabit speed Ethernet adapter with jumbo packet support is required.

  • Page 20: Ethernet Adapter Driver Settings

    Transmit Buffers 256 bytes Default packet size The default packet size of Allied Vision GigE cameras is 8228 bytes. The host network adapter needs to support a packet size of equal or larger size to stream from the camera. Ethernet adapter For desktop systems, use a PCI Express bus Ethernet adapter.

  • Page 21: Enabling Jumbo Packets

    Crossover cabling is not required but does work. The camera has circuitry to determine if a crossover cable is being used. Allied Vision recommends Category 6 (Cat 6) or higher rated Ethernet cables. A different rating may not sustain peak interface bandwidth; leading to lost connectivity or image data coming from the camera.
