Page 15: Configuring And Testing The Camera
The firewall is a software which filters packets coming from the network and thus it can block some of the communication channels used by PicSight. So it can happen, for example, that although the ping command succeeds, the PicSight is not accessible via the HTTP protocol (the firewall has disabled access to machines on local network for web browsers). - Page 16 Exceptions tab. Click "Add Program..." button and locate the PicSight Demo program. Then click "OK" to add the PicSight Demo in the exceptions' list. Since now incoming communication will not be blocked for PicSight Demo. Repeat the same procedure for any other executables (including programs you compile yourself) you want to use for acquisition from the PicSight camera.

Page 17: Configuration Of Other Firewalls
If you have a firewall that allows more detailed configuration, for example configuring also outgoing connections, make sure that no restrictions are made for outgoing HTTP connections (so that you are able to configure the PicSight camera using your web browser), for ping, and in case you will need to access PicSight over FTP, than make sure also that no restrictions apply for outgoing FTP. - Page 18 PC an IP address beginning with 192.168.1. and an arbitrary number. In our example we use: 192.168.1.2 for the host, so it is then on the same subnetwork with PicSight having the default IP address 192.168.1.55. The gateway need not be set for this temporary TCP/IP settings (leave it empty).
-
Page 19: Http-Based Configuration
4.3. HTTP-based Configuration There is an HTTP server running on the PicSight camera, so after verifying the TCP/IP connection is correct, you can connect to it using a web browser, for example Internet Explorer, Firefox etc. To connect, type as the URL the following: http://192.168.1.55... - Page 20 Here you can set the desired IP address. The IP Gateway can be set to 0.0.0.0. In case you have a DHCP server in your network and want the PicSight to get the IP address assigned automatically from the DHCP server during the boot, set the IP address to 0.0.0.0.

One typical example is a wireless connection on the path. It has a lower bandwidth than the rest of the LAN. However, the host (PicSight) is not aware of it (it can determine only the speed to the nearest port), so it simply tries to stream out the data as fast as possible, which can lead to the buffer overflow on the wireless gate. -
Page 22: Packet Sizes
The MTU has to be set on both sides to the same value, on the host (PC) side as well as on the PicSight side Also, all devices along the network path from the host to the client (switches etc.) must support the used frame size. -
Page 23: Setting The Mtu
Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> Network Connections -> Local Area Connection -> Properties: After pressing the Configure button, a driver dependent dialog box appears. The one in our example below is from the Intel PRO/1000 adapter: PicSight GigE Getting Started Guide, version 1.96.169.1... -
Page 24: Setting The Streaming Packet Size
The MTU settings is here available under the Jumbo Frames option, with a possibility to select from predefined values. On the PicSight side the MTU settings is available in the HTTP based configuration, in the Change Other INI Items page after successful login. -

LAN (the gateway) is able to redirect the packets. In other words, if you want to access PicSight with the default IP address 192.168.1.55, which is out of your local subnet range, it is not enough to set it as FixDiscoverIP. - Page 26 Note that if you connect the camera after the PicSight Demo was started, it will not be visible, until you restart the demo. If you want to test multiple cameras simultaneously, press the Add Camera button. Then you will have multiple cameras in the left list box and you can switch between them by clicking in this list box, or by clicking on each camera's window.

Page 27: Run-Time Settings
Here you can select the trigger input. Note that the dialog is designed to be more universal (also for frame grabbers), so not all options apply to PicSight GigE. In the Function combo box select Frame Trigger, in the Type select Direct. -

Note that the decoding is done by software, in PicSight demo. 4.5.4. Info This tab is useful in case you are testing the transfer bandwidth of your LAN connection. -

PicSight may get into a status, in which it is not able to boot anymore. In such case the Recover Mode must be used to boot. -
Page 31: The Recover Mode
4.6.2. The Recover Mode For the case the PicSight system fails to load, a recover copy of the system is available in the PicSight flash memory. This system is limited in functionality (does not enable acquisition and streaming) and serves only for fixing the normal system.
