Network Device Power Settings
By default the Ethernet network hardware in the computer will have power settings
enabled. This will interfere with recording of video information sent through the Ethernet
connection. The power saving settings must be disabled following these steps:
1.
Open the Network and Sharing Center: select Start/Control Panel/Device
Manager.
2.
Open the Network Adapters section of the device list.
3.
Double click on the Ethernet network device. (If there is more than one Ethernet
device, configure the device that will be connected to the Axis camera).
4.
In the device properties dialog select the Power Management tab.
5.
The options displayed for power management will vary, depending on the type of
network device. The generic option is “Allow the computer to turn off this device
to save power”. This should be unchecked. For Intel network devices the dialog
will display is a set of options under the section “Power Saver Options”. Uncheck
all of these options to fully disable power saving.
6.
Click OK .
7.
Close all programs and reboot the computer.
Disable WiFi
To ensure proper access to the camera via the Ethernet port, it is necessary to disable the
WiFi transmitter while using the computer with the camera. Otherwise the computer will
try to connect to the camera via WiFi and fail to connect. The most reliable way to
accomplish this is to disable the WiFi driver in the Device control panel. Alternatively, it
is possible on many laptop computers to manually disable the WiFi from a button.
However, this requires that the system user be properly training on this detail and that
they exercise care to make sure the WiFi is turned off before starting SoniClear.
