Installing a GigE Camera AW00061111000
20 Installation and Setup Guide for ace CL, aviator, beat, pilot, racer, runner, and scout Cameras (Windows)
4.5.2 If You Are Using Multiple Network Adapters in a
Single Computer
With a typical installation of GigE cameras, the default network adapter settings will cause each
adapter to use some automatic addressing (Auto IP (LLA) or DHCP IP addressing) to assign itself
an IP address. If you are using only one network adapter in your host computer, these adapter
settings will work correctly with Basler GigE cameras that are set to default (e.g., new cameras
coming out of the box).
However, if you have multiple network adapters in your computer and you will be connecting
cameras to more than one adapter, this situation will cause a problem. The LLA addressing scheme
does not work correctly when it is used on more than one adapter.
The easiest way to avoid this problem when you are doing the initial camera installation and setup
of your system is to change the adapter IP configuration settings and the camera IP configuration
settings so that the cameras and the adapters will use fixed IP addressing. You should do this after
you have completed the pylon software installation and you have followed the hardware installation
procedure to connect the cameras to your adapters.
Some conditions must be met for IP addressing:
If your computer has multiple network adapters, each adapter must be in a different subnet. If
the computer has a multiport adapter, each port must be in a different subnet.
The camera must be in the same subnet as the port to which it is connected.
The camera must have an IP address that is unique within the network.
These conditions will be met automatically by DHCP/LLA addressing. However, when using fixed
and temporary IP addressing, the correct settings must explicitly be made by the user.
For more information about IP addressing and about setting and changing the IP configuration of
the cameras and the network adapters, see Section 4.6 on page 24.
