Connecting 

1.

 

After the install is complete, plug in the detectors communication cable. 

2.

 

Power up the detector. 

3.

 

After powering up the detector, the application automatically detects the detector. 

This may take 30 to 60 seconds. Wait until the detector connected indicator in the task 
bar (shown below) has confirmed that a connection has been established (the red cross 
over the camera icon disappears). 

 

 

 

 

Checking detector status and information in Gigabit Ethernet 

After the detector connection has been established, the status of the connection can be 
displayed by right clicking on the camera icon in the task bar and selecting “SHOW 
Status Dialog Box.” 
When you add or remove a detector from the network, it is automatically detected by the 
GigE server. A manual network scan can also be launched from this menu by selecting 
“Scan Network.” This action will refresh the information of the device connected to the 
network. The “About Sapera GigE Server” option will display the version of the installed 
GigE driver. 

 

Selecting the “SHOW Status Dialog Box” will open the device status window, which 
displays the basic information of the detector
