RM/TM-1327GE Series

Functions & Operations

Note 1: The Mono10 and BayerRG/GB10 settings at full frame rate will exceed GigE bandwidth. It is

recommended to use Mono8 or BayerRG/GB8 for max frame rate.

For TM-1327GE series cameras, the jumbo frame can be set at a maximum 16260 Bytes (Factory setting is 1440
Bytes). To set Jumbo Frames, refer to section 4.3.4.

To ensure the integrity of packets transmitted from the camera it is recommended that you follow these simple

guidelines:

−

Whenever possible use a peer-to-peer network.

−

When connecting several cameras going through a network switch, make sure it is capable of

handling jumbo packets and that it has sufficient memory capacity.

−

Configure inter-packet delay to avoid congestion in network switches.

−

Disable screen saver and power save functions on computers.

−

Use high performance computers with multi-CPU, hyper-thread and 64-bit CPU, etc.

−

Only use Gigabit Ethernet equipment and components with the camera.

−

Use at least Cat5e or preferably Cat6 Ethernet cables.

−

Whenever possible, limit the camera output to Mono8, Mono10Packed or Mono12Packed for

Monochrome cameras, and BayerGR8 for color.

4.3.3

Disable Firewalls

To ensure proper operation of the JAI SDK & Control Tool, all firewalls must be disabled. This also includes the
Windows firewall.

Click [Start], [Control Panel] for accessing the Windows
firewall configuration.
