  1. Determine where you want your GigE camera to be attached
  2. Obtain a GigE that is specific to your <hutch> (usually placed in drawers nearby). This GigE should be labeled with the netconfig and camviewer name, ioc name, or at the very least a factory sticker containing the MAC address.
  3. Connect the new camera to a PoE port to first see if you are able to communicate with the camera. "ping" it using either the IP address or the netconfig name. To find the netconfig name, open a terminal and run "netconfig search <mac address>" and it should come up with the correct name which you can pass to you your "ping"
  4. If the camera is "ping"-able you can now position your camera onto your system and reconnect via a PoE port.
  5. Once the camera is adhered to your system, open a new terminal session and type the following command "camviewer -c <camviewer name> -e. This command turns on the camera ioc.
  6. To determine whether or not the ioc has actually been enabled, in the same terminal type "iocmanager <hutch>". This will pull up a screen that lists all the iocs running in that hutch. Look for one of the names located on the camera and make sure that you see a green "Running" label in a column to the right.
