Sapera GigE Server Details

This section provides additional details on the GigE Server not covered in the Genie installation section of this manual. Generally the Genie automatic installation requires no user intervention.

The Sapera GigE Server implements the GigE Vision Control Protocol (GVCP). This provides the interface to generate GVCP messages to control and configure a GigE Vision device.

GigE Server handles the heartbeat messages, allowing an application in development, to be single-stepped while in debug mode, without loss of the camera connection.

GigE Server is a single application going through the firewall. This simplifies firewall settings as only this application needs to be listed in the firewall exceptions.

The GigE Server periodically rescans the network to discover any new camera that might have been added to the network. This will also identify devices removed.

When required, it is possible to disabled the GigE server. A Sapera application will then directly be linked to the library responsible for GigE Vision control channel communications. This can be used to minimize inter- process communications.

The GigE Server Status window provides valuable information about the GigE Vision devices present on your system (see "Troubleshooting" on page 101).
