Connecting the NI Smart Camera to the Development Computer
Through a Network
1. Verify that the development computer is connected to the
network and powered on.
2. Using an Ethernet cable, connect from an Ethernet hub or other
network port to Ethernet port 1 on the smart camera.
The smart camera is now connected to the development computer
through a network.
Subnet Considerations
To configure the NI Smart Camera, it must reside on the same
subnet as the development computer. Once the smart camera is
configured, as described in the
Configuring the NI Smart Camera
with Vision Builder AI
section and the
Configuring the NI Smart
Camera with LabVIEW
section, other subnets can be used to
access it.
To use the smart camera on a subnet other than the one on which
the development computer resides, first connect and configure the
smart camera on the same subnet as the development computer.
Next, physically move the smart camera to the other subnet.
Contact your network administrator for assistance in determining
which network ports reside on the same subnet.
