“Setting Up Network Communications” in the Visionscape® Smart Camera
HE1600T Guide.
Note: When using a Visionscape
®
Smart Camera HE1600T in a production
environment, it
MUST
be programmed to use a static IP address instead of
DHCP. This is to prevent loss of communications due to IP lease renewal by the
DHCP server.
Follow these steps when connecting the Visionscape
®
Smart Camera HE1600T
for the first time:
1.
Connect the Visionscape
®
Smart Camera HE1600T to the same network as
the PC that will be running the FrontRunner™ software.
2.
Apply power to the Visionscape
®
Smart Camera HE1600T; be sure to do
this AFTER making the physical connection to the network.
3.
Start the FrontRunner™ application by selecting
Start > Visionscape >
Visionscape FrontRunner
. The main FrontRunner™ screen is displayed,
as shown in Figure 1–1.
