Connection Example using IDS UI5480SE-M-GL
Intel GigE NIC
Achieves 14.09FPS
These slides will show an example of connecting
the UI5480SE-M-GL camera to a network using an
Intel NIC card in a laptop computer.
The UI5480SE-M-GL achieves 14.09 FPS in this
example
This presentation is appropriate for any IDS GigE
camera.
Operating System is Windows XP SP 3
Intel Core 2 Duo CPU
2.53GHz
2.99GB RAM
Intel 82567LM Gigabit Network card
Open Network Connections
Before the uEye camera will connect, it may be
necessary to set network settings and IP address
the uEye camera to the network card being used.
Top screen is from XP, bottom screen is from
WIN7. You can get to this screen usually by
clicking on the network icon in task tray. If not you
can use the control panel.
In Win7, the most direct way (not the shortest) is to
goto control panel, click on the network and
sharing icon, then click on the ‘change adapter
settings’ on the left side, then rt click on the
adapter you want to use, and chose properties to
open network dialog box which is what is shown on
the next page…
In XP, select the Local Area Connection that will
be used with the uEye camera by double clicking
on the proper icon you want to use.
Note: You might want to disable any connections
that will not be used by right click on the
connection and select disable. (This step is not
necessary, but helpful in case of debug. You can
certainly run the camera on a one NIC port and
your networking on another NIC port. )
The Local Area Connection Properties will open
Scroll down and highlight Internet Protocol
(TCP/IP) then select properties
IDS cameras do not use DCHP or LLA. So you
need to set a static IP address for BOTH the NIC
and the camera! THEY CANNOT BE THE SAME
ADDRESS, BUT MUST BE ON THE SAME
SUBNET.
In a general purpose network, the “Obtain an IP
address automatically” checkbox will be selected
For this example, we will set the IP address for the
network card to a static IP address and set the
subnet mask
In this example the Intel GigE NIC Card IP address
is set to static IP address 192.168.1.40
The Subnet mask will be set to 255.255.255.0
For this example, both the camera and network
card will need to be set manually with static IP
addresses in the same IP addressing range of :
192.168.1.1 - 192.168.1.254
Subnet Mask setting is set to 255.255.255.0 for
both camera and network card
Next we need to set the network card to accept the
large frames sent from the camera.
THIS STEP IS CRITICAL TO GET MAXIMUM
PERFORMANCE FROM THE INTEL CARD.
Select and highlight Client for Microsoft Networks
then select configure You can also just click the
configure button next to the Intel card
This dialog box may appear. Select Yes to proceed
The network card properties will appear
Check that the device status states the device is
working properly
Select the Advanced Tab then select and highlight
Jumbo Frames
In the value field, select the largest value. In this
example, 9014 Bytes is selected
Next select and highlight Receive Descriptors
In the value field, use the arrow to increase the
value to the highest available. In this example,
2048 is used
Next select and highlight Link Speed & Duplex
Select the value for 1000Mbps
In this example, Auto-negotiate 1000Mbps is
selected
It is recommended though not necessary to disable
networks that are not being used allowing only the
network being used for the camera to stay
connected.
During the first time setup and becoming familiar
with connecting a GigE camera, this will eliminate
the possibility of connecting to a network that is not
intended to be used for connecting the camera.
Once you are comfortable with the results of the
camera network and have successfully connected
and achieved the desired settings, enable the other
networks the computer will need to use. By
disconnecting from a live wireless network or
internet access network during camera set up, you
will have less variables to troubleshoot during the
connection process. Consult you network
administrator with networking questions that may
arise.
Next Open the software uEye Camera Manager
When the camera is connected, it will
appear in the camera list
Select Expert Mode in the Control Center
section of uEye Camera Manager to open
the Parameters section of the uEye
Camera Manager which is used to see the
network settings
Select Manual ETH configuration
Set the IP Address for the camera. This is
in the bottom section of the diaglog
box, Selected Devide Idxxx. For this
example we will use the following settings
In the Persistent IP field enter the IP
Address. Make sure that you do not use
the IP address of the NIC card. To keep
things simple, please initially use the
same numbers of the first three fields of
the IP address that you used in the NIC.
The NIC card had an address of
192.168.1.40. We can use the first three
fields of 192.168.1. and for the last field
we can choose any value BUT 40. Here
we chose a 1.
192.168.1.1
In the Subnetmask field enter
255.255.255.0
Then select OK
Camera IP Address set manually to persistent IP
192.168.1.1
Intel GigE NIC Card part number for reference
Intel GigE NIC Card IP address set to static IP
address 192.168.1.40
Both camera and network card are set in the same
IP addressing range of :
192.168.1.1 - 192.168.1.254
Subnet Mask setting is 255.255.255.0 for both
camera and network card
Select ETH Network Service from the previous
menu
Select the Gigabit Ethernet device that is being
used to connect to the camera
Once highlighted, the IP address will appear in the
Network Adapter field.
Select the checkbox Use 2K jumbo packets
Open the uEye Demo software program
Choose one of the profile for preset settings
or select No Profile
Click on the green play arrow to open the
camera in uEye Demo software
A live image will appear
Select the wrench icon to open the camera
settings for making various adjustments

The pixel clock, frames per second and exposure settings for this example are shown below
At the bottom of the window notice the frames, displayed frames and failed frames on the far right the
frames per second are displayed
