Run the GigE Viewer Installer.exe. This will install the Prosilica GS Digital Camera drivers as
well as the AVT GigE Viewer application program.

Plug in the Prosilica GS camera via the Gigabit Ethernet port. Plug in the power connection.
Verify that the Status LED 2 is a solid green. Run the AVT GigE Viewer Application. It will take a
few seconds for the camera to be recognized. If the camera does not appear in the Viewer list
after approximately 10 seconds then try disconnecting and reconnecting the power. If it still
does not appear restart the viewer. If it still does not appear, see the Trouble Shooting section
of this document.

PacketSize can be set to 8228 if the network card has been optimized to support jumbo frames.
