Supported Network Configurations

The Genie Nano 10G obtains an IP address using the Link Local Address (LLA) or DHCP, by default. If required, a persistent IP address can be assigned.

Preferably, a DHCP server is present on the network, where the Genie Nano 10G issues a DHCP request for an IP address. The DHCP server then provides the Nano 10G an IP address. The Network Configuration tool, installed with the Sapera Network Imaging Package, provides a DHCP server which is easily enabled on the NIC used with the Genie Nano 10G.

The LLA method, if used, automatically assigns the Nano 10G 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 the LLA mode is unable to forward packets across routers.

See the Sapera LT Getting Started Manual for GigE Vision Cameras & 3D Sensors for details on network configurations.
