4. BODE, Company Profile Page: 4 Network Card Requirements  Gigabit Ethernet network card required  Jumbo Frames should be supported and enabled (max. 16 kByte)  Intel network cards recommended (Intel Pro 1000)  PCI Express bus recommended (PCI bus limited to 133 MByte/sec)  “Baumer Compliant List GigE Cameras” of tested equipment Card typePCI busPCIe bus throughput~ 133 MByte/sec *~ 25 GByte/sec * * Gross data rate

5. BODE, Company Profile Page: 5  Use system network card configuration  Enter IP address and Subnet mask  Note: don’t use the same IP address as used in the camera Network Card IP Configuration

6. BODE, Company Profile Page: 6 Network Card Jumbo Frames  Jumbo Frames lower the network and CPU load significantly  Make sure Jumbo Frames are activated in network card settings Payload size standard Ethernet Frames Packet Header Standard Ethernet Frames: max: 1.5 kByte Jumbo Frames: max: 16 kByte Payload size Jumbo Frames

7. BODE, Company Profile Page: 7 Camera - IP address obtainment Priorities of the camera 1. 2. 3. deactivated No response  Its is recommended to use a persistent IP (fixed IP) address

8. BODE, Company Profile Page: 8 Camera - IP address obtainment Persistent IP  1. Persistent IP set-up The camera must be initialized in the LLA mode or DHCP mode Use the Baumer GAPI Viewer to set-up camera IP address Click at “IP Configuration” Enable “Persistent IP Configuration” Set the IP in the camera (e.g. 192.168.10.1) Enter correct subnet mask (e.g. 255.255.255.0) Disconnect the camera from the power supply

9. BODE, Company Profile Page: 9 Camera - IP address obtainment DHCP and LLA Mode  2. DHCP The configuration will be set by the DHCP-Server It is enabled by the default settings Requires a DHCP-Server  3. LLA (Link-Local Address) Is used if no other method for IP assignment is used LLA employs a local IP range from 169.254.0.1 to 169.254.254.254

10. BODE, Company Profile Page: 10 Camera - IP address obtainment IP Config Tool Can correct the camera IP address if a wrong IP address is used Scans the system for connected GigE cameras New IP address can be entered

11. BODE, Company Profile Page: 11 Multi Camera System Set-up Options  Use Switch Connect multiple cameras via one Switch Bandwidth to PC network card is shared  Use Network card with multiple ports Full Gigabit bandwidth for each camera Need more network cards / ports

12. BODE, Company Profile Page: 12 Multi Camera System Set-up multiport Network card  Note: Every port should be in a different subnet IP:192.168.10.2 Subnet: 255.255.255.0 IP:192.168.11.2 Subnet: 255.255.255.0 IP:192.168.10.1 Subnet: 255.255.255.0 IP:192.168.11.1 Subnet: 255.255.255.0
