Note
A CAT 5e or CAT 6 1000Base-T Ethernet cable is required to achieve maximum 
1,000 Mbps (Gigabit) Ethernet performance. CAT 5e and CAT 6 Ethernet cables adhere to 
higher electrical standards required for Gigabit Ethernet communication. CAT 5 cables are 
not guaranteed to meet necessary electrical requirements. While CAT 5 cables may appear 
to work in some installations at 1,000 Mbps, CAT 5 cables are likely to cause increased bit 
errors resulting in degraded or unreliable network performance.
Ethernet LEDs
Figure 7-2 shows the Ethernet LEDs on the NI Smart Camera.

ACTIVITY/LINK LED
The ACTIVITY/LINK LED indicates whether a link is established 
between the NI Smart Camera and the device connected at the other end of 
the Ethernet cable. The LED is unlit when no cable is connected or if the 
smart camera or the device connected at the other end of the cable are 
powered down. The LED is solid green when a link is established, but there 
is no traffic activity on the link. The LED will flash green when there is 
traffic activity on the link. If the smart camera is connected to a corporate 
network, traffic that is not related to the smart camera traffic will often be 
present on the link. In dedicated links between a computer and the smart 
camera, typically the only traffic on the link will be the communication 
between the computer and the smart camera.
SPEED LED
The SPEED LED indicates the speed of the negotiated link. The NI Smart 
Camera supports 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, and 1,000 Mbps (1 Gbps) links, and 
will automatically select the highest speed shared by the smart camera and 
the device it is connected to. The SPEED LED follows the behavior 
specified in Table 7-1.
