4 In the Ethernet Camera Tool, select one of the vision network ports in the
tree view and click Set Performance Driver. A warning about installing
unsigned software will appear, click OK and neglect any Windows message
asking to install new hardware.
5 Reboot the PC when the installation has finished.
6 Start Ethernet Camera Tool and verify that the driver has been successfully
installed for each vision network port, in the Configure Performance Driver
part. Repeat steps 4-6 for the next vision network port (if more than one port
is used).
Note
Running the Ethernet Camera Tool and Runtime at the same time may result in
unpredictable behavior. To avoid this, use only one of the programs at a time.
Note
Install Gigabit Ethernet Performance Driver. This provides fast and reliable camera
communication, as well as decreased CPU load.
CAUTION
Running camera traffic and controller traffic on the same network can cause
serious communication failure.
