Genie Monochrome Series-GigE Vision Camera Operational Reference • 67Network Controls & GigE Vision ParametersThis section describes how to optimize the network configuration for maximum Genie bandwidth. Optimization ofthese parameters is highly dependent on the number of cameras connected to a NIC, the data rate of each cameraand the trigger modes used.Important: Laptop computers may have issues even with a GigE NIC port, either built in or as a PCMCIAdevice. This section describes optimizations for both desktop and laptop computers, but laptops may requireadditional customization as described in section "Older Laptop Computer Networking Issues" on page 122.CamExpert GigE Vision ParametersThe Automatic Network Configuration mode sets parameters to a default state. The Optimize mode sets the packetsize to the maximum value as reported by the NIC driver. If this does not provide satisfactory performance, it ispossible to optimize transfers by manually setting the network configuration parameters. The following screen shotof the GigE Vision Parameters shows the CamExpert control set to Manual. Descriptions for each parameterfollow.
