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 its 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.
