Network Adaptor Configuration Notes

Windows

Important Note: When you install your vendor software that came with your device, do not install your vendor's filtering or performance networking driver.

Let Windows automatically determine the IP if you are using a single direct connection to the PC, instead of attempting to use static IP. Otherwise, leave organizational IP configuration settings in place.

Use your vendor software to configure the camera for DHCP/LLA.

If you have multiple cameras connected to multiple Ethernet cards, you cannot have them all set to automatic IP configuration. You must specify the IP address for each card and each card must be on a different subnet.

Enable large frame support if your Ethernet card, and switch if present, supports it and you are using a direct connection. If you are not using a direct connection, you can enable large frame support if all switches and routers in your organization's network support it.

Set the Receive Buffers high, 2048 for example.

Linux

You will not need any drivers from your vendor and we recommend that you do not install any that may have come with your device.

We recommend that you have your system administrator help with the following setup tasks:

• Getting the Ethernet card recognized by the kernel.

• Getting the IP and MTU configuration set up for direct connection.

  For dynamic IP configuration of a camera and Ethernet card not connected to an organizational network, avahi-autoipd can be used. However, we recommend that each direct connection to a camera have an interface with a static IP such as 10.10.x.y or 192.168.x.y.

  If you want to use jumbo frames and your Ethernet card and switches (if present) allow, configure the MTU accordingly.

Mac

You will not need any drivers from your vendor and we recommend that you do not install any that may have come with your device.

You should configure your Ethernet connection as shown:

In the configuration shown here, the Mac Pro has two Ethernet connections, one to an internal network, and one for GigE Vision. The GigE Vision connection is set to use DHCP.

Advanced settings are set as shown in the following diagrams.

The TCP/IP tab.

The DNS tab.

The Ethernet tab.

If you are using a MacBook, you may not have the option of Jumbo frames in the MTU.
