Parameter
Type
Description
Access
GevCurrentIPConfigurationPersistent IP
bool
Controls whether the PersistentIP configuration scheme is
activated on the given logical link.
RW
GevCurrentIPConfigurationDHCP
bool
Controls whether the DHCP IP configuration scheme is acti‐
vated on the given logical link.
The device falls back to Link Local Address in case no DHCP
response is received after several timed out requests.
RW
GevCurrentIPConfigurationLLA
bool
Controls whether the Link Local Address IP configuration
scheme is activated on the given logical link.
R
GevCurrentIPAddress
int
Reports the IP address for the given logical link.
R
GevCurrentSubnetMask
int
Reports the subnet mask of the given logical link.
R
GevCurrentDefaultGateway
int
Reports the default gateway IP address to be used on the
given logical link.
R
GevPersistentIPAddress
int
Controls the Persistent IP address for this logical link. It is only
used when the device boots with the Persistent IP configura‐
tion scheme.
RW
GevPersistentSubnetMask
int
Controls the Persistent subnet mask associated with the Per‐
sistent IP address on this logical link. It is only used when the
device boots with the Persistent IP configuration scheme.
RW
GevPersistentDefaultGateway
int
Controls the persistent default gateway for this logical link.
It is only used when the device boots with the Persistent IP
configuration scheme.
RW
GevDiscoveryAckDelay
int
Indicates the maximum randomized delay the device will wait
to acknowledge a discovery command.

Command
Description
Access
GevNetworkInterfaceReconfigure
Reconfigures the network interface according to the settings
made. If the settings have changed the connection will be lost
to the device and it may get a new IP address.

Recommended network card settings
Due to the large amount of data that Ruler3000 delivers per second, it is required to
connect the camera(s) to the PC using a separate Gigabit Ethernet network, without
other interfering traffic.
The Network interface card (NIC) must support Gigabit Ethernet, and it is recommended
that the NIC supports Ethernet Jumbo frames. Ethernet Jumbo frames are frames with
more than 1500 bytes of Ethernet payload. Sending and receiving Ethernet Jumbo
Frames can give a performance increase due to lower PC CPU usage.
The Ruler3000 camera has mainly been tested using network interface cards from
Intel. See the tables below for recommended network settings. Note that the names of
the settings may differ depending on NIC or driver version.
