When using multiple cameras connected to an VLAN Ethernet switch, confirm that all
cameras are on the same subnet setup on that switch. See the Teledyne DALSA Network
Imaging package manual for more information. .
•
If a Calibir camera installed with other GigE Vision cameras cannot connect properly with
the NIC or has acquisition timeout errors, there may be a conflict with the third party
camera's filter driver. In some cases third party filter drivers modify the NIC properties such
that the Teledyne DALSA Sapera Network Imaging Driver does not install. Verify such a case
by uninstalling the third party driver and installing the Calibir package again.
•
Verify that your NIC is running the latest driver available from the manufacturer.
