Network adapters
The Z-Trak2 3D sensor connects to a computer's gigabit network adapter (NIC). If the computer is
already connected to a network, it will require a second network adapter. Multiple devices may be
controlled by one host computer on a single NIC through a switch.
Two recommended 5GigE network adapters (not exhaustive):
•
Intel X550 T2
–
This network adapter achieves superior performance compared to some other
manufacturer’s comparable devices.
•
ASUS XG-C100C
Switches
Switches offer a range of functions and performance grades, so care must be taken to choose the
right switch for a particular application. A switch is required if the profiler-to-PC separation is
greater than 100 meters.
It is recommended to test network device performance since certain devices may not achieve
acceptable results in actual operation (depending on the device m
anufacturer’s implementation). In
general, it is always recommended to use the latest device drivers provided by the manufacturer.
Examples of compatible Ethernet switches (not exhaustive):
•
NETGEAR MS510TX
and
MS510TXPP
–
These are suitable switches for use with the Z-Trak2
3D sensors.
