LAN on the motherboard (LOM) chips from Intel are also supported. Contact DALSA for
information on how to use these network chips with the DALSA QuickCam High-
Performance IP Device Driver.
Ethernet Switch Requirements
When you require more than one device on the same network or a camera-to-PC
separation of more than 100 metres, you can use an Ethernet switch. Since the Spyder 3
GigE camera complies with the Internet Protocol, the camera should work with all
standard Ethernet switches. However, switches offer a range of functions and
performance grades, so care must be taken to choose the right switch for a particular
application. The following switches are expected to work with the camera:
•
SMC (
4H
www.smc.com ) TigerSwitch 86xxT family
Features: Layer 2 with IGMP v2.0 managed switch that supports jumbo frames
and multicast
•
3COM (
5H6H
www.3com.com ) 3C1740x (3800 Family):
Features: Layer 2 with IGMP v2.0 managed switch that supports multicast
•
Dlink (
7H
www.dlink.com ) DGS-10xxTx 10/100/1000 family:
Features: Layer 2 unmanaged switch that converts multicast into a broadcast
•
3COM (
8H
www.3com.com ) 3C1770x (4900 Family):
Features: Layer 2 non-blocking switch that converts multicast into a broadcast
•
Dlink (
9H
www.dlink.com ) DGS-3308FG & DGS-3308-TG
Features: Layer 3 non-blocking switch that supports multicast
•
Cisco (
10H
www.cisco.com ) WS-C3750G-12S-S:
Features: Layer 3 switch that supports multicast
Fiber-Optic Interface Requirements
In cases where no intervening switch is desired and camera-to-PC separations of more
than 100 meters are required, a fiber-optic media converter can be used with the Spyder 3
GigE camera.
The FlexPoint GX from Omnitron Systems (
11H
www.omnitron-systems.com
) converts GigE
to fiber and vice versa. It supports multimode (MM) fiber over distances of up to 220 m
(720 ft.) and single-mode (SM) fiber up to 65 km (40 mi.) with SC, MT-RJ, or LC connector
types.
Note:
Although these products are known to work with the Spyder 3 GigE camera, their
inclusion in this manual does not guarantee they will meet specific application
requirements.
