APPENDIX E
GENIE CAMERA SETUP
NOTE
You should perform a firmware update with any new Genie camera. The firmware update utility is available from the Windows Start button.
Verify or Set the Camera IP Address
Genie cameras used with the VA61, must use a Static IP address. If you received cameras labeled
“Camera1” and “Camera2” or “CamPort1” and “CamPort2” the address has already been set.
You can skip forward to “Verify or Update Firmware” or “Camera Configuration Settings.”
If the cameras are not labeled, you can follow these steps to configure the camera addresses.
Connect one camera at a time to the VA61. A camera icon in the system tray indicates the camera
status (not on all OS). Right-click on the camera icon, and select “SHOW Status Dialog Box”. Or
use Start–Programs–DALSA–Sapera Network Imaging Package–DALSA GigE Vision Device
Status.
If the camera IP address does not match the expected IP address for the Gigabyte Ethernet port, an
“IP Error“ is indicated, as shown Figure 20.
Figure 20. Genie Camera Status
To automatically assign a compatible IP address, launch the VA-Genie Camera Setup program
(Start>Programs>VA Genie Tools> VA Genie Setup). If the IP address for the camera needs to be
changed, a dialog box will appear before the VA Genie Camera Setup program opens, stating the
camera is being assigned a compatible IP address. After the IP address is assigned, the VA-Genie
Camera Setup program opens (Figure 21).
