Unicast Network Configuration
In the following unicast configuration, a Camera Link camera is connected to a CL-GigE and then a GigE
switch that sends a stream of images over Ethernet to the computer. Alternatively, the CL-GigE can be
connected directly to the computer.
The computer is configured as both a data receiver and controller, and serves as a management entity for
the CL-GigE.
