IDS Software Suite 4.96.1
This dialog box allows you to manually set the IP address and subnet mask of a GigE uEye camera. This button can only be used in Expert mode.
|
This function is only available for GigE uEye cameras (see also Configuring via IDS Camera Manager). |

|
If a DHCP server is running on the network, you need to ensure when configuring the network adapter that the manually assigned address range of the uEye driver is outside the DHCP range. |
Adapter settings
Here, you can change the IP configuration of the network adapter to which the selected GigE uEye camera is connected.
•IP range begin/end
Defines the IP range from which the uEye driver chooses an address during "Automatic ETH configuration". The IP range is not effective if the camera is assigned a persistent IP address.
•Suggest
Same as the Automatic ETH configuration function.
Device ID
Here, you can change the IP configuration of the GigE uEye camera.
•Persistent IP
The entered IP address is permanently saved in the camera when you close the dialog box. The persistent IP address is retained in the camera memory even when the camera is disconnected from the power supply. If you connect the camera to a different PC, make sure the persistent IP address is valid on that computer, as well.
|
If the "Persistent IP" is set to 0.0.0.0, the camera is configured for automatic IP address assignment (see also Automatic ETH configuration). |
•Subnet mask
Enter a valid subnet mask for the persistent IP address.
•Suggest
Selects the first free IP address from the network adapter's range of valid IP addresses. The function then enters that address in the "Persistent IP" box and sets the appropriate subnet mask. The settings made for IP range begin/end in the "Adapter settings" box have no influence on the suggested address.
•Enable DHCP
Enables the use of DHCP for the IP configuration of GigE uEye cameras.
In this area, the settings for multicast mode are made for the camera.
•Enable
Use this option to enable or disable the multicast mode. With enabled multicast mode the camera sends its image data packets to multiple PCs simultaneously. You can configure virtual multicast cameras using the additional functions of the IDS Camera Manager.
If you enable or disable the multicast mode, you must restart other programs like uEye Cockpit or a second IDS Camera Manager.
|
When a camera should be used in multicast mode, the camera must be configured with a persistent IP address. |
•Multicast IP
In this field, you enter a multicast IP for the camera when the camera is operated in multicast mode (is_Multicast()). Valid multicast IP addresses are 224.0.0.1 to 239.255.255.255. However, the address range 224.0.0.0 to 224.0.0.255, inclusive, is reserved for use by routing protocols and other low-level topology determination or maintenance protocols.
•Default
Sets the IP address to the default value 224.0.0.0.
Status
This box displays information on the defined IP configuration.
