2.4 POWERING UP

When camera is powered up, the camera will boot. One of

the first things it will do is to start a self-test to make sure

that it is functional. After correct completion of the test a

check is added for the presence of a host that waits to

download an application (see also the next paragraph for

the IP number that needs to be set for this). If a host is

connected the camera waits for the download of the

application to be executed. The download is done via the

Ethernet interface connection. When a download is in

progress the Inca waits until the download is completed.

After completion it starts the execution of the program.

If the test for the host is negative then the Inca will load the

program, if available, stored on the flash file system to the

SDRAM and starts the execution. If no application is

available the Inca starts capturing images and send the

images to the VGA output. The latter will be the case if an

Inca is powered-up for the very first time.

2.4.1 IP Number

During powering up, the camera is assigned an IP number.

The Inca 320 camera will use the following steps to

determine which IP number will be used:

1. DHCP

When this option is enabled, the camera checks if a

DHCP server is available by making a request on the

network. When no response is given the next step will

be used.

2. Auto IP address

This protocol is similar to DHCP but it does not require

a DHCP server. When this option is enabled all

devices on the network will make sure they get a

unique IP address by communicating with each other.

3. Fixed IP address

The camera is assigned a fixed IP address. This

address can be set directly in the camera.

4. Local IP address

When all previous options fail, the camera will create

an IP address based on the device ID of the camera.

In which case the address will always be in the range:

192.168.10.1 to 192.168.10.127. When more than one

Inca 320 camera has the same device ID, then this will

result in the two cameras having the same IP address,

which will result in a conflict on the network.

These options can be enabled or disabled individually (with

the exception of the local IP address) and can be

configured by means of the Flash File Manager program

which is part of the Rhapsody, Clicks and Promise

packages.

2.4.2 System LED

The system LED is situated next to the Ethernet connector.

The system LED can illuminate in 3 colours namely red,

green and orange. By connecting the power to the Inca the

LED illuminates red. During start-up the LED is illuminating

orange.

Once start-up has finished the next step is the hardware

initialization. During the start of this initializing phase the

LED will blink for a very short time green and stays

constant green when this phase is terminated successfully.
