5.3 Connecting a GigE uEye CP Rev. 2
Check the power supply to the camera. Connect the camera to to a Gigabit Ethernet port on the PC either
directly or using switches. Please read the following notes before setting up.
Cabling
·
The data network and the camera network should be cabled separately. Therefore, it is recommend
connecting the cameras by a separate network card.
·
It is recommend to use Cat5e type cables.
·
The cable length of the individual segments must not exceed 100 m. A segment is a continuous cable
connection between two network devices (e.g. PC, camera, switch).
·
It is recommended to cable the network throughout at 1000 Mbit/s.
Network card
·
To ensure optimum performance of the network connection, you need to install the latest drivers for your
network card.
·
GigE network adapters for PCI slots are limited in its transfer rate to approximately 80-90 MByte/s.
·
It is recommended to set the "Receive Descriptors" in the network card settings to the maximum value.
·
It is recommended to set the "Jumbo Frames" (also: Jumbo Packet) in the network card settings to the
maximum value.
Note that the connection between the camera and the PC must continuously be able to transport jumbo
packets to ensure the transmission of the jumbo packets. Information on these settings is provided in the
manual supplied with the network adapter.
