22 • Installing the Genie Camera Genie Monochrome Series-GigE Vision CameraStatus LED CodesThe camera is equipped with a LED to display the operational status of the camera. When more than one conditionis active, the LED color indicates the condition with the highest priority (such as an acquisition in progress has morepriority than a valid IP address assignment). The following table summarizes the LED states and correspondingcamera status.LED State DefinitionLED is off No power to the cameraSteady Red Camera not initializedSlow Flashing Red Camera initialization problemFast Flashing Red Camera is too hotSlow Flashing Blue Waiting for an IP addressFast Flashing Blue Ethernet cable disconnected (no link)Steady Blue IP address assigned;no application connected to the cameraSteady Green Application connectedSlow Flashing Green Triggered acquisition in progressFast Flashing Green Free-running acquisition in progressOnce the Genie has its RJ45 connected to a network, the Status LED will turn to steady blue when the IP address isassigned. Only at this time will it be possible by the GigE Server or any application to communicate with thecamera.Note: Even if the Genie has obtained an IP address, it might be on a different subnet than the NIC it is attached to.Therefore, if the Genie LED is blue but an application such as CamExpert can not see it, this indicates a networkconfiguration problem.
