Installing your Forge Camera

1. Attach a Lens

Unscrew the dust cap from the lens holder to install a lens.

2. Connect the interface Card and Cable to the Camera

Plug the interface cable into the host adapter card and the camera. The cable jack screws can be used for a secure connection. If using PoE, connect a powered Ethernet switch or Ethernet power injector in between the card and the camera.

When the camera is first connected, the operating system automatically installs the camera driver. Camera drivers are available with the Spinnaker SDK installation.

3. Plug in the GPIO connector

GPIO is used for power, trigger, serial input output, and strobe.

4. Confirm Successful Installation

Run the SpinView application: StartÒTeledyne Spinnaker SDKÒSpinView
The SpinView application can be used to test the camera's image acquisition capabilities and make changes to the camera's installation configuration.

5. Configure IP Settings if necessary

By default, a dynamic IP address is assigned to the camera according to the DHCP protocol. If DHCP addressing fails, a link-local address is assigned. If necessary, in SpinView change the IP address of the camera to be on the same subnet as the host adapter card.
