22 • Installing the Genie Camera Genie HM Series-GigE Vision Camera
Connect the Genie Camera
Connect a power supply to the Genie camera and an Ethernet cable from the Genie to the host computer. Once
communication with the host computer is started the automatic IP configuration sequence will assign an LLA IP
address as described in section "
Genie IP Configuration Sequence" on page 24, or a DHCP IP address if a DHCP
server is present on your network. Note that the DALSA Network Configuration tool can enable the DALSA smart
DHCP server.
The factory defaults for Genie is Persistent IP disabled and DHCP enabled with LLA always enabled as per the
GigE Vision specification. For additional information see "
IP Configuration Mode Details" on page 93. See the next
section "
Connectors" on page 22 for an overview of the Genie interfaces.
Connectors
The Genie has only two connectors:
• A single RJ45 Ethernet connector for control and video data transmitted to/from the host computer Gigabit
NIC. See "
Ruggedized RJ45 Ethernet Cables" on page 125 for secure cables.
• A single 12-pin Hirose male connector for camera power plus trigger, strobe and general I/O signals. The
suggested female cable mating connector is Hirose model HR10A-10P-12S.
The Genie has one multicolor LED to provide a simple visible indication of camera state (see figure below and
section "
Status LED Codes" on page 23). Additionally the RJ45 has two LEDs for network status conditions.
The following figure of the Genie back end shows connector and LED locations. See "
