Enabling Traffic in Firewall

Standard windows firewall or other active firewall application should prompt for confirmation on enabling incoming traffic upon first opening of video streaming device. Sample prompt message, from standard Windows 7 Firewall, is shown on image bellow.

Please note, that device connected directly to computers network card in Windows will become element of unidentified network. Such device will be treated by default as Public network. In order to communicate with such device you must allow for traffic also in Public networks, as shown on above image.

Clicking on Allow access will enable application to stream video from device. Because of delay caused by firewall dialog, first run of program may fail with timeout error. In such situation just try running program again after enabling access.

For information about changing settings of your firewall application search how to allow a program to communicate through firewall in Windows help or 3rd party application manual. GigE Vision subsystem requires that incoming traffic be enabled on all UDP ports for application.
