PC and OS Requirements
It is recommended to use a
PC with Quad core CPU or better
. The camera is
working also on lower frequencies but it might not deliver the full framerate in those
cases. The operation system must be XP or Win 7. We don’t support WIN
98/NT/2000 or older Operation systems.
18.1.1
Firewall considerations
The GigE Vision standard defines a communication based on UDP packets between a
GigE Vision compliant camera and a host PC. Often PC firewalls are adjusted to be
restrictive and not to allow for sending UPD packets from the outside of the PC to a
port that has been opened by an application
Sometimes the firewall settings have been adjusted during installation of the operat-
ing system or afterwards such that the user will be asked if the UDP data stream
should be enabled once a camera starts sending UDP packets to the PC. When click-
ing OK in response to that question the application will be added to a list of excep-
tions. A firewall will let those applications communicate with network devices like a
GigE Vision camera over the network. In case the Windows installation has been ad-
justed such that the user will not be asked when an outside device starts sending
network packets to an application then that application has to be enabled manually
in order to achieve the same as before. An appropriate dialog can be opened for ex-
ample when right-clicking on the network icon in the tray and selecting “Change
Windows”
ter clicking on the “Add Program …” button the GigE Vision application can be
searched for in a file explorer and it will be added to the list of Exceptions in the
above dialog. Henceforth the communication to the GigE Vision compliant device will
be enabled.
