Network Card Configuration
Operating GigE Vision GX cameras using multiple network adaptors
The GX series cameras offer two Gigabit Ethernet ports for image data transfer and control.
Users can connect one or both ports on the GX to Ethernet adapter ports on a host computer.
Connecting both ports will increase the available bandwidth to 240 MB/sec, allowing higher
frame rates and resolutions than a single port connection.
GX cameras can be operated in single port and dual port configurations. The dual port
approach requires the host computer to configure a Link Aggregate Group (LAG). A LAG
configuration combines multiple Ethernet ports into a single data channel.
