Network Configuration Tool
The Network Configuration tool provides information on all network adapters installed in the system
and any connected GigE Vision devices. For the Genie, the tool allows a simple method to assign a
User-Defined name and also to set a Persistent IP address instead of the default DHCP/LLA assigned
IP address. Using this tool, Genie network configurations can be easily made without having to use
any Windows Control Panel application.
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.
To aid technical support, the tool can save a network configuration report. From the File menu select
“Save current status”. You will be prompted for a filename for the report text file.
