Issue:
This article explains how standard GigE PCI network adapters may cause problems for GigE Vision cameras to respond to control commands.

Cause:

Point Grey has observed intermittent failure to respond to control commands when cameras are used in conjunction with standard GigE PCI network adapters.

Solution:

In general, we recommend a PCI Express (PCIe) interface equipped with an Intel PRO 1000 chipset. To purchase a recommended PCIe GigE network adapter from Point Grey, visit the interface card accessories page on the Point Grey website (Part No. ACC-01-1100).
