Running the Network Configuration Tool
The Network Configuration tool provides information and parameter adjustments for network adapters installed in
the system and any connected GigE Vision devices without use of any Windows Control Panel application. This
tool allows you to:
• Activate the Network Imaging driver use for image acquisition on any NIC or disable the imaging driver
for any NIC not used with a GigE Vision device.
• Change the Auto Discovery Interval from the default of 15 seconds.
• Configure the Windows firewall exception list.
• Configure the NIC and camera IP settings.
• Assign a User-Defined name to a connected Genie device.
• Assign a Persistent IP address to a Genie device instead of the default DHCP/LLA assigned address.
• Easily Configure the NIC as a DHCP server for connected GigE Vision devices.
Important: Any changes made with this tool will update the Genie flash memory. Do not remove power from the
Genie camera for a minimum 10 seconds. Then cycle the Genie power to load the new flash settings.
See "Network Configuration Tool" on page 97 for more detailed information on using this tool. As shown below,
the Network Configuration tool can quickly verify and modify the network configuration of the imaging system.
Run the tool from the Windows Start menu: Start•Programs•DALSA Sapera Network Imaging Package•Dalsa
Network Configuration Tool. Verify the Genie camera appears as a child of the NIC card it is connected to. By
default the Genie camera is identified by its serial number if no user-defined name has been assigned.
