Connecting the ISC-178x to a Network

What to Use

  • ISC-178x Smart Camera
  • M12 to RJ45 Ethernet cable (5 m), NI part number 145230-05
  • Ethernet switch or other network device

What to Do

Complete the following steps to connect the device to a network.

  1. Connect the M12 end of the Ethernet cable to the network connector on the ISC-178x.
  2. Connect the RJ45 end of the cable to an Ethernet switch or other network device.
  3. Verify the 100/1G LED on the smart camera is on or blinking.
Note By default, the operating system automatically attempts to connect to the network using DHCP. If it is unable to initiate a DHCP connection, it connects to the network with a link-local IP address (169.254.x.x).
