ASSIGNING A Gb CAMERA NETWORK
Connecting the camera using Gb Ethernet simply requires the computer to detect the IP
address range of Phantom cameras.
PCC software includes a Network Configuration Utility which will launch automatically
after the software is first installed, or it can be later launched from the PCC program
itself.
The NetConfig Ultility will show all network interfaces currently installed in the PC.
Identify the one that will be physically connected to the camera (this process can be done
with or without a camera connected at the time).
Click 'Config Adapter', which will then adjust the IP Address and Subnet to the first one
available within the 100.100 network that all Phantom cameras are pre-configured to
work with. Once connected, the Phantom logo will appear on the lower right with the
"Configured for PCC operation" message.
OPTIONAL: MANUALLY A SSIGN Gb CAMER A NE T W ORK
Alterntatively, In the Windows 'Network and Sharing Center,' select the camera network.
Change the Ethernet IP settings by selecting 'Properties,' then 'TCP/IPv4' 'Properties,'
then select 'Use the following IP address.'
Enter IP address 100.100.100.1 and Subnet 255.255.0.0. Other settings should be blank.

WORKING WITH 10Gb ETHERNET
STEP 1: IDENTIF Y NE T WORK ADAPTER
Identify a 10GBase-T network card or adapter for the computer itself. For desktop (tower)
PCs, Vision Research specifically recommends Intel PCIE cards.
Laptop computers must have a Thunderbolt port available in order to use one of the
Thunderbolt-10GBase-T converters on the market. At the time of writing, there are two
recommended converters: Promise Sanlink3-N1 Part # SL3N1CL and the adapter by
StarTech Part # TB310G
STEP 2: INSTALL DE VICE DRIVER
The camera and network adapter, if applicable, should be powered on and connected during
the driver installation.
Install the latest device driver from the manufacturer's website, then reboot the PC.
A new, unidentified network should now be available, visible in the NetConfig utility or in the
Windows 'Network and Sharing Center.'
STEP 3: INSTALL PCC WITH 10 Gb PHANTOM DRIVER
The latest version of PCC software should be installed from the disk that came with the
camera or by running setup.exe within the package downloaded from the website.
Click through the prompts, and be careful to click 'YES' when the program prompts you to
install the 10 Gigabit Ethernet Driver. The PCC installer also allows for the Phantom 10G
driver to be installed without re-installing PCC.
STEP 4: A SSIGNING A 10 Gb CAMER A NE T WORK
The camera should be powered on and physically connected to the 10Gb network card or
Thunderbolt adapter. The 10Gb Ethernet network needs to be assigned to the 172.16 IP range.
Use the Phantom NetConfig Utility as described in the previous section to detect the new
network and assign the 10Gb IP address automatically.
Alternatively, In the Windows 'Network and Sharing Center,' select the camera network.
Change the Ethernet IP settings by selecting 'Properties,' then 'TCP/IPv4' 'Properties,' then
select 'Use the following IP address.'
Enter IP address: 172.16.0 and Subnet 255.255.0.0. Other settings should be blank.
Important: Ensure no Windows firewall or virus protection are
applying to either Phantom Ethernet network connection
