4.5 Network Recommendations
This section describes the recommended adapters and architectures for the network to which your
cameras are attached.
4.5.1 Recommended Network Adapters
The following network adapters are recommended for use with Basler GigE cameras:
Intel Pro 1000 series
Intel i210 series (formerly "Springville")
Intel i340 series
Intel i350 series
These adapters generally work well with the Basler performance driver. However, since the Intel Pro
1000 series has changed over the time, it may happen that the Basler performance driver does not
support your particular Intel Pro 1000 adapter.
Contact Basler technical support for recommendations of currently available Pro 1000 adapters and
for information about compatible chipsets.
Network Adapters and Network Drivers
Although Basler recommends specific adapters with our GigE cameras (see above), the cameras
will work with any Fast Ethernet (100 Mbit/s) or Gigabit Ethernet (1000 Mbit/s) compatible network
adapter card.
If the adapter is not a recommended network adapter or if you use the camera with a Linux or
macOS computer, the camera uses the pylon GigE Vision Filter Driver or the socket driver.
If the adapter is a recommended network adapter and you use the camera with a Windows
computer, the camera can use the pylon GigE Vision performance driver. The advantage of
the performance driver is that it significantly lowers the CPU load needed to service the
network traffic between the computer and the camera(s). It also has a more robust packet
resend mechanism.
For more information about installing the network drivers, see Section 4.2 on page 7.
