Ethernet Ports

This chapter provides information about the Ethernet ports and Ethernet

LEDs on the NI Smart Camera and considerations for assigning an

IP address.

The Ethernet ports on the smart camera provide a connection between the

smart camera and the development computer or other network devices. The

smart camera provides two 10/100/1,000 Mbps Ethernet ports. Figure 7-2

shows the Ethernet ports on the smart camera.

Figure 7-1. NI Smart Camera Ethernet Ports

Port 1 is the primary port and port 2 is the secondary port. The primary port

can be configured to acquire an IP address from a DHCP server. The

secondary port can only be configured for a static IP address.

Both Ethernet ports of the smart camera can connect to a 10, 100, or

1,000 Mbps (1 Gbps) Ethernet network at either full or half duplex. The

smart camera automatically detects the speed and duplex capabilities of its

link partner and configures for the fastest common interface. The smart

camera can also perform auto-crossover, allowing the use of straight or

crossover Ethernet cables, independent of the connection configuration.

When shielded Ethernet cables are being used, ensure that the shields on the

Ethernet cables and the POWER-I/O cable do not contact each other to

maintain full Ethernet signal integrity.
