Genie IP Configuration Sequence
The Genie IP (Internet Protocol) Configuration sequence to assign an IP address is executed
automatically on camera power-up or when connected to a network. As a GigE Vision
compliant device, Genie attempts to assign an IP address as follows.
For any GigE Vision device, the IP configuration protocol sequence is:
•
Persistent IP (if enabled)
•
DHCP (if a DHCP server is present such as the Teledyne DALSA smart DHCP server)
•
Link-Local Address (always enabled)
The factory defaults for Genie is Persistent IP disabled and DHCP enabled with LLA always
enabled as per the GigE Vision specification. For additional information see "Genie IP
Configuration Mode Details" on page 99.
GigE Server Status
Once the Genie is assigned an IP address (its Status LED is steady blue) the GigE server
tray icon will not have a red X through it, indicating that the Genie device was found. It
might take a few seconds for the GigE Server to refresh its state after the Genie has
obtained an IP address.
Right-click the GigE Server tray icon to open the following menu.
Click on Status to open a window listing all devices connected to the host system. Each
GigE device is listed by name along with important information such as the assigned IP
address and device MAC address. The screen shot below shows a connected Genie with no
networking problems.
In the event that the device is physically connected, but the Sapera GigE Server icon is
indicating that the connected device is not recognized, click Scan Network to restart the
discovery process. Note that the GigE server periodically scans the network automatically to
refresh its state. See "Troubleshooting" on page 129 for network problems.
