System Information and Configuration
Select the system icon (the computer symbol) in the left pane to display current system information
which may be required when documenting Genie installations. There are no user changeable fields in
the System Information tab.
In the right hand pane click on the System Configuration tab. By default the Sapera GigE Server is
added to the Windows Firewall exception list. This function is performed automatically when the
Genie software package is installed. This ensures the Windows Firewall remains active (if it was
enabled) without having to individually put each Genie application program in the exception list.
System Firewall Configuration
If the computer is using a different firewall software package, refer to that firewall's software manual
to allow the Sapera GigE Server to have access through it.
Alternatively, it is possible to exclude a specified NIC from using the firewall. A NIC dedicated to the
Genie camera does not need Windows firewall. See "
Disabling Windows Firewall" on page 103 for
details on excluding a NIC from firewall settings.
