Multiple Camera Issues
When using multiple cameras with a computer with multiple NIC ports, confirm each Linea
•
Lite GigE has been assigned an IP address by checking the GigE server.
To reduce network traffic in configured problem free systems, use the Network
•
Configuration tool to stop camera discovery broadcasts. Refer to Teledyne DALSA's Network
Imaging Package for Sapera LT Optimization Guide.
When using multiple cameras connected to a VLAN Ethernet switch, confirm that all
•
cameras are on the same subnet setup on that switch. Refer to Teledyne DALSA's Network
Imaging Package for Sapera LT Optimization Guide for more information.
If a Linea Lite GigE camera installed with other GigE Vision cameras cannot connect properly
•
with the NIC or has acquisition timeout errors, there may be a conflict with the third-party
camera's filter driver. In some cases third party filter drivers modify NIC properties and
Teledyne DALSA's Sapera Network Imaging Driver does not install. Verify this issue by
uninstalling the third party driver and installing the Linea Lite GigE package again.
Verify NIC is running the latest driver available from the manufacturer.
