Connecting the Linea SWIR GigE
Camera
GigE Network Adapter Overview
The host computer requires an available Gigabit network port. Typically, Windows will recognize
the Gigabit NIC automatically when Windows boots and assign an IP address.
When installing a high performance Gigabit NIC adapter, review the NIC documentation concerning
any specific driver required for your operating system.
Note: Teledyne DALSA engineering has seen cases where a PCI Express bus Gigabit NIC has better
overall performance than the same NIC hardware in PCI bus format.

Connecting a Linea SWIR GigE camera to a network system is independent of whether the
Teledyne DALSA's Sapera LT package or a third party package is used.
