Windows Configuration
Important Note: When you install your vendor software that came with your device, do
not install your vendor's filtering or performance networking driver.
Let Windows automatically determine the IP if you are using a single direct connection
to the PC, instead of attempting to use static IP. Otherwise, leave organizational IP
configuration settings in place.
Use your vendor software to configure the camera for DHCP/LLA.
If you have multiple cameras connected to multiple Ethernet cards, you cannot have
them all set to automatic IP configuration. You must specify the IP address for each card
and each card must be on a different subnet.
Enable large frame support if your Ethernet card, and switch if present, supports it and
you are using a direct connection. If you are not using a direct connection, you can enable
large frame support if all switches and routers in your organization's network support it.
Set the Receive Buffers high, 2048 for example.
Installation of GigE Vision Cameras and Drivers on Windows
Follow these steps to install a GigE Vision camera on a Windows machine.
1
It is not necessary to install your vendor software that came with your device, but
you may want to in order to verify that the device is running outside of MATLAB.
Important Note: Do not install your vendor's filtering or performance networking
driver.

In the Windows Network Connections dialog box (part of Control Panel), if using a
second network adaptor, you can optionally rename your second network adaptor to
“GigE Vision” to help distinguish it from your primary adaptor.
