  • Page 18: 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 19: 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.
