Last Revision Date: 6/24/2014

This article explains how standard GigE PCI network adapters may cause problems for GigE Vision cameras to respond to control commands.

CAUSE:

Intermittent failure to respond to control commands may occur when cameras are used in conjunction with standard GigE PCI network adapters.

ANSWER:

In general, we recommend a PCI Express (PCIe) interface equipped with an Intel 82574L chipset such as the Intel PRO 1000 CT network adapter. To purchase a recommended PCIe GigE network adapter from us, visit the interface card accessories page and reference Part No. ACC-01-1100.
