Goldeye G/CL Technical Manual V4.1.1
Configuring the host computer
Allied Vision GigE Vision cameras can operate on 10/100 or Gigabit speed Ethernet
adapters. To reach the maximum camera frame rate, a Gigabit speed Ethernet
adapter with jumbo packet support is required.
If your host computer has an available Ethernet interface, this can be used with
Allied Vision GigE cameras. We recommend that your camera system uses a
dedicated Ethernet interface not shared with Internet or local area networks. If
more interfaces are needed, or your existing Ethernet adapter is unable to operate
at Gigabit Ethernet speeds, installing additional hardware may be required.
•
For desktop systems, install a PCI Express bus Ethernet adapter.
•
For laptops, use an expansion slot via a Gigabit Ethernet ExpressCard.
Usage on mixed-use networks (with printers, Internet/email, etc.) is possible but
may impact camera performance (e.g., framerate). Check with your IT
administrator if required for network configuration.
Installing the Ethernet adapter driver
Install the network card driver from your network card manufacturer. Read the
frame grabber software installation guide provided by the frame grabber
manufacturer. If no installation application is provided, update the driver manually.
