Connecting the Linea SWIR GigE Camera Linea SWIR GigE Series Camera
LED Indicators
The camera has a multicolor LED to provide visible camera state as described below. The Ethernet
connector does not have indicator LEDs. The user should use the LED status on the Ethernet switch
or computer NIC to observe networking status.
Camera Status LED Indicator
The camera is equipped with a LED to display the operational status of the camera. When more
than one condition is active, the LED color indicates the condition with the highest priority (i.e.
Acquisition in progress has higher priority than a valid IP address assignment).
Once the camera is connected to a network, the Status LED will turn to steady blue when the IP
address is assigned. Now the GigE Server or application will be able to communicate with the
camera. The following table summarizes the LED states and corresponding camera status.

Note: The Linea SWIR GigE has obtained an IP address but it might be on a different subnet than the attached
NIC. If the Linea SWIR GigE LED is blue but an application cannot see the camera, this indicates a network
configuration problem. See the troubleshooting section in this manual.
