Calibir IP Configuration Sequence
The Calibir GigE IP (Internet Protocol) Configuration sequence to assign an IP address is
executed automatically on camera power-up or when connected to a network. As a GigE
Vision compliant device, Calibir attempts to assign an IP address as follows.
For any GigE Vision device, the IP configuration protocol sequence is:
Persistent IP (if enabled)
DHCP (if a DHCP server is present such as the Teledyne DALSA Smart DHCP
server)
Link-Local Address (always enabled as default)
Supported Network Configurations
The Calibir obtains an IP address using the Link Local Address (LLA) or DHCP, by default.
If required, a persistent IP address can be assigned (refer to the Network Imaging
manual).
Preferably, a DHCP server is present on the network, where the Calibir issues a DHCP
request for an IP address. The DHCP server then provides the Calibir an IP address. The
Teledyne DALSA Network Configuration tool, installed with the Sapera Teledyne
DALSA Network Imaging Package, provides a DHCP server which is easily enabled on the
NIC used with the Calibir (refer to the Teledyne DALSA Network Imaging user's manual).
The LLA method, if used, automatically assigns the Calibir with a randomly chosen
address on the 169.254.xxx.xxx subnet. After an address is chosen, the link-local
process sends an ARP query with that IP onto the network to see if it is already in use.
If there is no response, the IP is assigned to the device, otherwise another IP is selected,
and the ARP is repeated. Note that the LLA mode is unable to forward packets across
routers.
