6.1 Prerequisites for setting up the camera in the network
GigE cable
·
Use Cat5e type cables or better for the complete connection between your camera and the host PC.
·
The cable length of each segment must not exceed 100 m. A segment is in this case a continuous cable
connection between two network devices (e.g. PC, camera, switch).
Network devices involved
·
All devices that contribute to the network connection between camera and host PC (e.g. switches) should
support at least 1000 Mbit/s to ensure a consistent connection.
·
It is recommended that each device uses Jumbo Frames, if possible. Otherwise the maximum possible
packet size will be used. Refer to your device's manual how to configure Jumbo Frames.
Network adapter settings
Your camera should be connected to a separate network card or port. Do not use the same as for your internet
connection (or other communication network) because this reduces the bandwidth for image data transfer and
can lead to incomplete or lost images.
·
To ensure optimum performance of the network connection, you need to install the latest drivers for your
network card.
·
The transfer rate of GigE network adapters for PCI slots is limited to approximately 110-120 MByte/s.
·
For operating IDS NXT cameras, it is recommended: Maximize the receive buffer size or stack buffer size.
Enable Jumbo Frames.
