Connecting Micron /A10 To Apc Via The Ethernet Module - FLIR ThermoVision Micron User Manual

ThermoVision® Micron/A10 User's Guide 412-0006-10 Version 130
Connecting Micron/A10 to a PC via the Ethernet Module
1. Follow the steps shown in Section 0 for basic connection of the Micron/A10 camera and
the Ethernet Module.
2. Connect one end of a CAT5 cable to the RJ45 port on the Ethernet Module, as shown in
Figure 11.
3. Connect the other end of the CAT5 cable to an open RJ45 port on your computer. The
port is usually available on the back of the PC through a standard LAN network interface
card or NIC card. If using computer with only one LAN connection then you may want to
add an additional NIC card in an open PCI slot to be dedicated for the camera; otherwise,
use the existing LAN connection. Contact your IT department for network connection
instructions.
4. Assuming the Micron/A10 Control Panel software is already installed on the PC (see
installation instructions above), execute the software.
5. The Micron/A10 Control Panel software will attempt to automatically identify the port
upon which the camera is installed. When the Network Device Finder window pops up,
as shown in Figure 13, right click on the correct device (each Ethernet device has a
specific MAC address that is identified on the bottom of the device) and set the IP
address. Again, if using computer with only one LAN connection or on a router/switch
then you may want to check with your IT department for network connection
instructions.
6. If the Control Panel successfully links to the camera, skip ahead to the section below
titled "Operation of the Micron/A10 Control Panel".
