It is recommended you use both camera ports, but it is not a restriction of the hardware design.
Using the two ports allows higher data throughput.

Network Connection
If your system is to be connected to a LAN (Local Area Network), connect a network cable to the
RJ45 Ethernet jack labeled LAN, located below the two Camera Port connectors. The GEVA sup-
ports GigE (1,000BaseT) Fast Ethernet (100BaseT) and Twisted Pair Ethernet (10BaseT). If you
plan to use Fast Ethernet or GigE, use a Category 5 (UTP5) cable. This network port is config-
ured for Dynamic Addressing or DHCP.
NOTE Do not enable “Jumbo Frames” on this port if your network does not support it.
Enabling “Jumbo Frames” when not supported may cause difficulty accessing
the network.
The two GEVA Camera Ports are configured for Static Addresses: Cam1 port address 10.1.64.5
and Cam2 port address 10.1.128.7 and both ports use Subnet Mask 255.255.192.0. “Jumbo
Frames” is set to 9014 and “Receive Descriptor” set to 2048. A larger value for Jumbo Frames
seems to degrade operation in some cases.
The Jumbo Frames setting may need to be reduced for a single large format color camera. The
individual Cameras settings for packet size and interpacket delay may need adjusting in some
multiple camera configurations.
The hardware does not prohibit using the Lan Port connector for a camera data port.
Serial Port Connection
The GEVA has one RS-232/485 compliant serial port. The serial port is typically used for passing
results to a third party device, such as a PLC or other peripherals. The serial port may be used to
communicate with the optional DCI-100 DALSA Camera Interface module.
