26 • Installing the Genie Camera Genie Color Series-GigE Vision Camera
GigE NIC Jumbo Frames
Running the Network Configuration Tool
Once the GigE Server discovers a device, start the Network Configuration tool to verify and modify the network
configuration of the imaging system. See "
Network Configuration Tool" on page 78.
First 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.
Because image transfers require considerable bandwidth through the NIC, it is recommended that a separate Gigabit
Ethernet NIC for the Genie camera be used. Connections to the Internet or to a corporate network should be through
a different NIC.
The Network Configuration Tools allows you to:
• Configure the Windows firewall exception list
• Activate the Network Imaging driver use for image acquisition on any NIC
• Configure the NIC and camera IP settings
