Faber M1400 Manuel D’Utilisation

22  •  Installing the Genie Camera 

The camera is equipped with a LED to display the operational status of the camera. When more than one condition 
is active, the LED color indicates the condition with the highest priority (such as an acquisition in progress has more 
priority than a valid IP address assignment). The following table summarizes the LED states and corresponding 
camera status.  

 

LED is off 

No power to the camera 

Steady Red 

Camera not initialized 

Slow Flashing Red 

Camera initialization problem 

Fast Flashing Red 

Camera is too hot 

Slow Flashing Blue 

Waiting for an IP address 

Fast Flashing Blue 

Ethernet cable disconnected (no link)  

Steady Blue 

IP address assigned; 
no application connected to the camera 

Steady Green  

Application connected  

Slow Flashing Green 

Triggered acquisition in progress 

Fast Flashing Green 

Free-running acquisition in progress 

 

Once the Genie has its RJ45 connected to a network, the Status LED will turn to steady blue when the IP address is 
assigned. Only at this time will it be possible by the GigE Server or any application to communicate with the 
camera. 

 

 

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 network 
configuration problem.
