2.1 Overview
This chapter discusses the installation procedures for the Cohu 7100 Series camera.
To install the camera:
1. Connect Ethernet and Power
2. Assign a valid IP address
3. Go through basic configuration
After these steps, the camera should be ready to serve high-quality images to network users.
Further configuration topics are covered in later sections.
2.2 Connectors
The back of the camera contains the ports needed for installation: the Ethernet port and the
Power Input. The two LEDs on the rear cap will verify that the camera is successfully
connected: The Green Status LED will flash after power is connected and the Yellow Link &
Activity LED will flash to indicate network activity.
The camera's hardware address, which appears on the label affixed to the back of the camera,
should be handy when ready to assign an IP address.
The cameras may have other inputs, depending on options. Refer to Section 1.3 or the Pinouts
appendix for information on how to use these ports.
