    Preferably, a DHCP server is present on the network, where the Linea Lite GigE issues a DHCP request for an IP address. The DHCP server then provides the IP address. The Teledyne DALSA Network Configuration tool, installed with the Teledyne DALSA Network Imaging Package, provides a DHCP server which is easily enabled on the NIC used with the Linea Lite GigE (Refer to Teledyne DALSA’s Sapera LT Getting Started Manual for GigE Vision Cameras).
