Installing a GigE network interface card (NIC)
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 speed, install a PCI EXpress bus Ethernet card.
• For desktop systems, use a PCI Express bus Ethernet adapter.
• For laptops, use an expansion slot via an Express Card.
