Summary
Phase One iXM camera are able to use both USB3 and 10G interfaces (not simultaneously). Read below on the detail on how to configure the 10G interface and communication.
In-Depth
To connect a Phase One iXM camera using 10G networking, use one of the following media:
- Up to 5 meters: Use an SFP+ DAC Passive cable. Consumes less power on the camera side.
- Up to 30 meters: Use SFP+ copper transceivers (use CAT6e [or better] cables)
- 30+ meters: Use SFP+ optical transceivers
Some PCs have 10G interface built in. add an adapter board to the computer. Configure the computer’s network port for Jumbo packets using the largest option available on that PC in order to optimize 10G performances (see the section “Configuring Packets”).
- The IP address of each camera is set at the factory. The default address is: “192.168.1.XXX”
- “XXX” refers to the last 3 digits of the camera’s S/N (located on the bottom of the camera)
- The Default Mask is 255.255.255.0
Note: If you are using two cameras with the same last 3 digits on your local network, there will be a IP configuration conflict. In this case, connect one of the camera using a USB3 connection and manually configure its IP address so that it is different from the address of any other camera on the network.
Connecting a new camera to Capture One
The Add camera dialog displays.
- Enter a unique name and unique IP address for the camera.
- After several seconds, the camera connects to the host computer.
- If the camera does connect over 10G, disconnect it from 10G and reconnect it using a USB3 cable.
Verifying a camera’s IP address
- Connect the camera to Capture One using a USB3 cable.
- Go to the tab: Camera > Camera settings > Network – 10G.
The Network – 10G tab opens.
- Make sure that the IP configuration settings are valid and that 10G option is set to Enable in Camera Settings > Power Management.
