23. Quick Notes
23.1 CC5MPX General
•
The LED will Flash or be on when the camera is in an Active Power
State.
•
When the LED is steadily on the camera is booting up. Avoid
interrupting this process.
•
Briefly pressing the setup button will always cause the camera to exit
from any low powered quiescent states and enable the Ethernet interface
for communications. The camera will remain in this state for 5 minutes.
•
An active session to the camera with a web browser will prevent the
camera from entering a low powered state.
•
Avoid removing power from the camera when it is in an active state. If
the camera is in an active state (LED is flashing), properly shut down the
camera to avoid any memory card corruption before removing power.
The camera can be shut down by pressing the setup button continuously
for more than 10 seconds or by using the Shutdown button on the web
interface.
•
The SD memory card must be formatted to FAT32.
•
If a memory card is removed from the CC5MPX to read or download its
contents, do not delete or add files manually. If it is desired to delete files
from the card, it is recommended to reformat the entire card (using
FAT32) or to use the CC5MPX Web Interface to delete them.
•
Verify that the lens cable is properly seated, as the connector may
inadvertently become unplugged during handling or installation.
•
Always ensure that all cable connectors, covers and the lens tube are
securely in place.
•
Record any changes to the IP settings of the camera. This information is
important to gain access to the camera for focusing, or reconfiguration.
•
The camera configuration file can be saved or loaded via the web
interface. This feature can be found under the System and Image Capture
tabs.
•
Check the Campbell Scientific Website for Firmware updates that may
apply.
