LED Indicators
The Genie Nano has one multicolor LED to provide a simple visible indication of camera state, as
described below. The Nano Ethernet connector does not have indicator LEDs; the user should use
the LED status on the Ethernet switch or computer NIC to observe networking status.
Camera Status LED Indicator
The camera is equipped with one LED to display its operational status. When more than one
condition is active, the LED color indicates the condition with the highest priority (such as – an
acquisition in progress has more priority than a valid IP address assignment).
Once the Genie Nano connects to a network and an IP address is assigned, the Status LED will turn
to steady blue. Only at this time will it be possible by the GigE Server or any application to
communicate with the camera. The following table summarizes the LED states and corresponding
camera status.

itself an IP address.

Flashing Green Acquisition in progress. Flashing occurs on frame acquisition but does not
exceed a rate of 100ms for faster frame rates.
Note: Even if the Nano has obtained an IP address, it might be on a different subnet than the NIC it is attached
to. Therefore, if the Nano LED is blue but an application cannot see it, this indicates a network configuration
problem. Review troubleshooting suggestions in the Network Imaging manual.
