Warning! (Grounding Instructions)

Static electricity can damage electronic components. Please discharge any static electrical charge by touching a grounded surface, such as the metal computer chassis, before performing any hardware installation.
If you do not feel comfortable performing the installation, please consult a qualified technician.

GigE Network Adapter Guideline

If the computer to be used with the Genie camera does not have a Gigabit network adapter or second built in Gigabit NIC, a PCI bus Gigabit Network Interface Card (NIC) needs to be installed. Typically under Windows, the PCI Gigabit NIC is recognized automatically when Windows boots. An example of a high performance NIC is the Intel PRO/1000 MT adapter .
Review the NIC documentation concerning any special driver required for Windows. Install the PCI bus Gigabit NIC as described by the NIC manufacture's documentation.
The Genie camera has been tested with a variety of Gigabit network adapters, both built into the system motherboard and as third party PCI adapters.

Supported Network Configurations

The Genie obtains an IP address using the Link Local Address (LLA) or DHCP, by default. A LLA IP address is obtained in about 6 seconds with Microsof t V ista/7 or in about 1 minute with Microsoft XP. If required, a persistent IP address can be assigned (see "Running the Network Configuration Tool" on page 33).
The LLA method automatically assigns the Genie with a randomly chosen address on the
169.254.xxx.xxx subnet. After an address is chosen, the link-local process sends an ARP query with that IP onto the network to see if it is already in use. If there is no response, the IP is assigned to the device, otherwise another IP is selected, and the ARP is repeated. Note that LLA is unable to forward packets across routers.
Alternatively, if a DHCP server is present on the network, the Genie is going to issue a DHCP request asking for an IP address. The DHCP server will then provide the Genie an IP address. The Teledyne DALSA Network Configuration tool, installed with the Teledyne DALSA Network Imaging Package, can also function as the DHCP server (refer to the Teledyne DALSA Network Imaging Package user's manual).

Installation Overview & Preparations

The Genie camera installation generally follows the sequence described below. Detailed installation instructions follow this overview. This section also provides impo rtant information to prevent operational faults due to ESD (electrostatic discharge) in Genie installations.

Network and Computer Overview

• Genie needs to connect to a computer with a GigE network adapter, either built in on the computer motherboard or installed as a third party PCI adapter.
• Laptop computers with built in GigE network adapters may still not be able to stream full frame rates from Genie, especially when on battery power. Thorough testing is required with any laptop computer to determine the maximum frame rate possible (refer to the Teledyne DALSA Network Imaging Package user's manual).
• Genie also can connect through a Gigabit Ethernet switch. When using VLAN groups, the Genie and controlling computer must be in the same group (refer to the Teledyne DALSA Network Imaging Package user's manual)).
• If Genie is to be used in a Sapera development environment, Sapera LT needs to be installed, either before or after the Genie software package. If Genie will be used in a GigE Vision compliant environment, Sapera or Sapera runtime is not required and you need to follow the installation instructions of the third party GigE Vision compliant package.
• Install the Genie Framework software package if not using a third party GigE Vision compliant package. Also install Sapera Run-time with CamExpert to control the Genie.
• The Windows Firewall exceptions feature is automatically configured to allow the Sapera GigE Server to pass through the firewall.
• Computers with VPN software (virtual private network) may need to have the VPN driver disabled in the NIC properties. This would be required only on the NIC used with the Genie. Testing by the user is required.
• When upgrading the Genie Framework from a previous version, there is no need to uninstall the older version. The ne w installation will correctly update all framework files. The framework installer will prompt you to confirm the upgrade, as shown.

Installation Overview

• Before connecting power to the camera, test all power supplies. Power supplies must meet the requirements defined in section "Genie Signal Electrical Details" on page 117. Apply power to the camera.
• Connect Genie to the computer GigE network adapter or to the Ethernet switch via a CAT5e or CAT6 Ethernet cable. Note: cable should not be less than 1 meter (3 feet) long or more than 100 meters (328 feet) long.
• Check the diagnostic LED which will be initially red then switch to flas hing blue while waiting for IP configuration. See "Status LED Codes" on page 31 for Genie LED display descriptions.
• Look at the small camera ico n a dded to the Windows tray (next to the clock). Ensure the Genie camera has been found (right click the icon and select Status).
• A new Genie installation typically requires a firmware update. See the procedure "Updating Genie Firmware" on page 34.
• Use CamExpert (installed either with Sape ra or Sapera runtime) to te st the installation of the Genie camera. Set the Genie to internal test pattern. See "Sapera CamExpert Guide" on page 107.
• Set up the other components of the imaging system such as light sources, camera mounts, optics, encoders, trigger sources, etc. Test with CamExpert.

Preventing Operational Faults due to ESD

Genie camera installations which do not protec t against ESD (electrostatic discharge) m a y exhibit operational faults. Problems such as random packet loss, random camera resets, and random loss of Ethernet connections, may all be solved by proper ESD management.
The Genie camera when used with a simple power supply and Ethernet cab le, is not properly connected to earth ground and therefore is susceptible to ESD caused problems. An Ethernet cable has no ground connection and a pow er supply's 0 volt return line is not necessarily connected to earth ground.
Teledyne DALSA has performed ESD testing on Genie cameras using an 8 kilovolt ESD generator without any indication of operational faults. The two following methods, either individually or together will prevent ESD problems.
• Method 1: Use a shielded power supply cable where the shield is connected to earth ground at the supply end and to the Hirose connector shell at the Genie end. The Genie case is now properly connected to earth ground and can withstand ESD of 8 kilovolts, as tested by Teledyne DALSA.
• Method 2: Mount the Genie camera on a metallic platform which has a g ood connection to earth ground.
