Genie HM Series-GigE Vision Camera Network Overview & Tools • 97
Network Configuration Tool
The Network Configuration tool provides information on all network adapters installed in the system and any
connected GigE Vision devices. For the Genie, the tool allows a simple method to assign a User-Defined name,
setup a DHCP server or to set a Persistent IP address instead of the default DHCP/LLA assigned IP address. Using
this tool, camera network configurations can be easily made without having to use any Windows Control Panel
application.
Important: When using Genie cameras, any changes made with this tool will update the Genie flash memory. Do
not remove power from the Genie camera for a minimum 10 seconds. Then cycle the Genie power to load the new
flash settings.
