Network Configuration Tool
The Network Configuration tool provides information on all network adapters installed in the system and any
connected GigE Vision devices. For the Genie, the tool allows a simple method to assign a User-Defined name and
also to set a Persistent IP address instead of the default DHCP/LLA assigned IP address. Using this tool, Genie
network configurations can be easily made without having to use any Windows Control Panel application.
Important: Any changes made with this tool will update the Genie flash memory. Do not remove power from the
Genie camera for a minimum 10 seconds. Then cycle the Genie power to load the new flash settings.
