Connecting the Linea SWIR GigE Camera

Linea SWIR GigE Series Camera

LED Indicators

The camera has a multicolor LED to provide visible camera state as described below. The 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 a LED to display the operational status of the camera. When more

than one condition is active, the LED color indicates the condition with the highest priority (i.e.

Acquisition in progress has higher priority than a valid IP address assignment).
Once the camera is connected to a network, the Status LED will turn to steady blue when the IP

address is assigned. Now the GigE Server or application will be able to communicate with the

camera. The following table summarizes the LED states and corresponding camera status.

LED State

Definition

LED is off

No power to the camera.

Steady

Red

Initial state on power up before flashing.

Remains as steady Red only if there is a fatal error.

Flashing

Red

Wait a few minutes for the camera to reboot itself.

Steady

Red

+ Flashing

Blue

Fatal Error. If the camera does not reboot itself contact Technical Support.

Slow Flashing

Blue

Ethernet cable disconnected. The camera continuously attempts to assign

itself an IP address.

Fast Flashing

Blue

File Access Feature is transferring data such as a firmware update or FCC

transfer, etc.

Steady

Blue

IP address assigned. No application is connected to the camera.

Steady

Green

Application connected.

Flashing

Green

Acquisition in progress — flashing occurs on frame acquisition but does not

exceed a rate of 100ms for faster frame rates.

Figure 6: Status LED Colors

Note: The Linea SWIR GigE has obtained an IP address but it might be on a different subnet than the attached

NIC. If the Linea SWIR GigE LED is blue but an application cannot see the camera, this indicates a network

configuration problem. See the troubleshooting section in this manual.
