Persistent IP
•
This configuration is only suggested if the user fully controls the assignment of IP addresses on
the network.
•
The GigE Vision camera is forced a static IP address. The NIC IP address must use the same
subnet otherwise the camera is not accessible.
•
If the Linea GigE camera is connected to a network with a different subnet, it cannot be
accessed.
•
The Teledyne DALSA Network Configuration Tool is used to set a persistent IP address. Refer to
the Teledyne DALSA Network Imaging manual.
•
An example of a Persistent IP address assignment on a class B network:
•
NIC Subnet = 192.168.1.1
•
Subnet Mask = 255.255.0.0
•
Persistent IP = 192.168.1.2
•
Default Gateway = 0.0.0.0
•
Warning: an incorrect IP address assignment might make it impossible to connect to the
camera. In such a case the Teledyne DALSA Network Configuration tool includes a function to
recover a Linea GigE camera with an unknown persistent IP and set the camera to the factory
default setting, i.e. DHCP/LLA mode. The camera MAC address must be known to use this
function.
•
For GigE Vision applications the FORCEIP command is used to force a new persistent IP or to
change the IP configuration protocol. The Linea GigE MAC address must be known to use the
FORCEIP command.
•
The following illustration shows a functional computer setup with three NIC ports, but no DHCP
server. Two NIC ports are used for private GigE Vision networks. The first uses the default LLA
mode for IP addresses, while the second NIC and the cameras connected to it are configured
with persistent IP addresses. An application on the computer can control each camera, on each
subnet, without conflict.
