Connecting your camera
Use a Category 6 or higher rated Ethernet cable to connect the camera to the host
adapter. Crossover cabling is not required but does work. The camera has circuitry
to determine if a crossover cable is being used.
Downloading camera drivers
Allied Vision GigE cameras work with any or all of the following software options.
Jumbo Frames/Jumbo Packets
The properties listed for the network adapter may include either
Jumbo Packet
or
Jumbo Frames
depending on the manufacturer. If neither is listed under
properties, your network card may not support this feature. You must use a
network adapter that supports Jumbo Frames/Jumbo Packets.
Allied Vision recommends Category 6 (Cat 6) or higher rated Ethernet cables for
Prosilica GC cameras. A different rating may not sustain peak interface bandwidth;
leading to lost connectivity or image data coming from the camera.
