Connect the Genie Camera
Connect a power supply to the Genie camera and an Ethernet cable from the Genie to the host
computer. See the next section "
Connectors" on page 21 for an overview of the Genie interfaces. Once
communication with the host computer is started the automatic IP configuration sequence will assign
an LLA IP address as described in section "
Genie IP Configuration Sequence" on page 23, or a DHCP
IP address if a DHCP server is present on your network. The factory defaults for Genie is Persistent IP
disabled and DHCP enabled with LLA always enabled as per the GigE Vision specification. For
additional information see "
IP Configuration Mode Details" on page 75.
Connectors
The Genie has only two connectors:
• A single RJ45 Ethernet connector for control and video data transmitted to/from the host
computer Gigabit NIC. See "
Industrial RJ45 Ethernet Cables" on page 99 for secure cables.
• A single 12-pin Hirose male connector for camera power plus trigger, strobe and general I/O
signals. The suggested female cable mating connector is Hirose model HR10A-10P-12S.
The Genie has one multicolor LED to provide a simple visible indication of camera state (see figure
below and section "
Status LED Codes" on page 22). Additionally the RJ45 has two LEDs for network
status conditions.
The following figure of the Genie back end shows connector and LED locations. See "
