When a NI 177x Smart Camera configured for DHCP starts, it must be able
to connect to the DHCP server. If the NI 177x Smart Camera cannot
connect to the DHCP server and is not connected to the same subnet as the
development computer, it does not appear in MAX or Vision Builder AI.
Note A NI 177x Smart Camera connected directly to the development computer or to the
same subnet as the development computer is always configurable from MAX or Vision
Builder AI, regardless of the IP address settings.
