IMAQdxResetEthernetCameraAddress

Format

rval = IMAQdxError ResetEthernetCameraAddress(const char* name, const char* address, const char* subnet, const char* gateway, u32 timeout)

Purpose

Force a new static IP address for the specified camera. Use IMAQdxResetEthernetCameraAddress when the camera is configured for a different subnet than your network. The code execution will suspend for the current thread and will resume after the specified timeout or as soon as it completes. Call this function before calling IMAQdxDiscoverEthernetCameras. Resetting the Ethernet Address is optional for cameras not on the local subnet.

address	const char*	Network address for the camera.
subnet	const char*	Subnet mask for the camera.
gateway	const char*	Gateway for the camera.
