Verifying Network Parameters
Teledyne DALSA provides the Network Configuration tool to verify and configure network devices
and the Nano network parameters. See section Network Configuration Tool of the Teledyne DALSA
Network Imaging manual, if there were any problems with the automatic Nano software
installation.
Before Contacting Technical Support

personnel when support is required, the following should be included with the request for support.

Device Available with Operational Issues
This section considers issues with cabling, Ethernet switches, multiple cameras, and camera
exposure. All information concerning the Teledyne DALSA Network Configuration Tool and other
networking considerations, is available in the Teledyne DALSA Network Imaging manual.
Firmware Updates
As a general rule any Nano installation must include the firmware update procedure
(see File Access Control Category). Nano camera firmware that does not match a newer version of
installed Nano Framework software is likely to have unpredictable behavior.
Problems might be:
•
Nano is not found by the device discovery process.
•
Nano is found by the Sapera GigE Server but an application such as CamExpert does not see
the camera.
•
A Nano that had a fault with a firmware update will automatically recover by booting with the
previous firmware version.
Important: New Nano cameras installed in previously deployed systems are fully backward
compatible with the older vision application.
