Preliminary
Genie Monochrome Series-GigE Vision Camera Network Tools • 81
After installation, all system NIC devices have the Sapera Network Imaging driver enabled. Only the
NIC connected to a Genie camera requires the Network Imaging driver enabled to capture images
from Genie. The Network Imaging driver streams image data efficiently to image buffers.
Select other NIC devices in the system and disable the Network Imaging Driver if they are not used
with a Genie camera.
Recovering a Camera with an Unknown Persistent IP
When a Genie camera has been configured with a persistent IP address, that camera can not be
controlled if the persistent IP address has been lost or forgotten. The DALSA Network Configuration
tool provides a function to recover cameras and reset them back to the DHCP/LLA mode. The camera
can also be set to a new persistent IP address immediately if required.
Important: To recover a Genie camera, the camera MAC address must be known. DALSA ships all
Genie cameras with a label stating its serial number and MAC address. Additionally the NIC
connected to the Genie must be configured for LLA mode.
To recover a Genie:
• Start the Network Configuration program from the windows start menu:
Start•Programs•DALSA•Network Interface•DALSA Network Configuration Tool.
• From the menu bar click on Advanced and then on Recover Camera.
• On the dialog enter the camera MAC address and click the Recover Camera button.
