Note A CAT 5e or CAT 6 1000Base-T Ethernet cable is required to achieve maximum

1,000 Mbps (Gigabit) Ethernet performance. CAT 5e and CAT 6 Ethernet cables adhere to

higher electrical standards required for Gigabit Ethernet communication. CAT 5 cables are

not guaranteed to meet necessary electrical requirements. While CAT 5 cables may appear

to work in some installations at 1,000 Mbps, CAT 5 cables are likely to cause increased bit

errors resulting in degraded or unreliable network performance.

Ethernet LEDs

Figure 7-2 shows the Ethernet LEDs on the NI Smart Camera.

Figure 7-2. NI Smart Camera Ethernet LEDs

ACTIVITY/LINK LED

The ACTIVITY/LINK LED indicates whether a link is established

between the NI Smart Camera and the device connected at the other end of

the Ethernet cable. The LED is unlit when no cable is connected or if the

smart camera or the device connected at the other end of the cable are

powered down. The LED is solid green when a link is established, but there

is no traffic activity on the link. The LED will flash green when there is

traffic activity on the link. If the smart camera is connected to a corporate

network, traffic that is not related to the smart camera traffic will often be

present on the link. In dedicated links between a computer and the smart

camera, typically the only traffic on the link will be the communication

between the computer and the smart camera.

SPEED LED

The SPEED LED indicates the speed of the negotiated link. The NI Smart

Camera supports 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, and 1,000 Mbps (1 Gbps) links, and

will automatically select the highest speed shared by the smart camera and

the device it is connected to. The SPEED LED follows the behavior

specified in Table 7-1.
