Attach the Ethernet cable

If you have VisionSensor PV2 or a VisionSensor PV3 you have to attach the Ethernet cable to

the Ethernet connector of the camera. Depending on the version of the camera, the Ethernet con-

nector can look like this:

4-pin Ethernet connector of

VisionSensor PV2

8-pin Ethernet connector of

VisionSensor PV3

Prepare the Ethernet connection

The network interface of the VisionSensor PV2 / PV3 is set to DHCP. If you want to connect the

camera to your local network infrastructure, a running DHCP server is required. Usually, every

modern router has a built-in DHCP server.

You also have the possibility to attach the VisionSensor PV2 / PV3 directly to your PC. Due to the

missing DHCP server, the camera and the PC will use Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA)

or Zeroconf.

Direct attach (APIPA / Zeroconf):

You can connect the VisionSensor PV2 / PV3 directly to your PC. Simply plug in the Ethernet ca-

ble of the VisionSensor PV2 / PV3 into the Ethernet port of your PC.

For direct attach, the PC and the camera must support Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA)

or Zeroconf. If you have a Windows 10 PC, APIPA is enabled by default. Go to the Ethernet

adapter settings. Select the Ethernet adapter (right click), which is connected to the VisionSensor

PV2 / PV3, then click on “Properties”.

Select “Internet Protocol Version 4”. Then click on “Properties”. Make sure that both options “Ob-

tain an IP address automatically” and “Obtain DNS server address automatically” are enabled.

If you are using Debian GNU-/Linux on your PC, you can use for example nmtui to configure the

Ethernet adapter. Start nmtui and select the Ethernet adapter which is connected to the camera.

Then select “Link-Local” as IPv4 address method:

Local network infrastructure (DHCP Server):

You also have the possibility to connect the camera to your local network infrastructure. In this

case, please make sure that a DHCP server is available and running in your network. Usually,

every modern router has a built-in DHCP server.

Now you can continue with the next step “Establish power supply”.

Establish power supply

If you have VisionSensor PV2 or a VisionSensor PV3 an 0.5 meter cable with an M12 8-pin

connector is used for power supply and I/O.

Connect the power and I/O cable to the M12 8-pin connector of the camera. Then connect the

green terminal connector of I/O cable to the green terminal connector of the power supply. Now

you can power on the camera and continue with the next step “First login via SSH”.

First login via SSH

Now we will login via SSH. For your Windows PC you must install a SSH client program. We rec-

ommend using MobaXterm https://mobaxterm.mobatek.net/, which is an enhanced terminal for

Windows with included X11 server, SSH and serial session management. After the installation is

completed, set up the SSH connection. Run MobaXterm and click on the “Session” button.

Next, select “SSH”as session type.

You will see the following menu:

In the text field “Remote host”, enter the serial number of the camera without the hyphen and add

the domain “.local”. You can find the serial number on the camera.

Example: If the serial number of the camera is “VSPV-1904-000315” you must enter

“VSPV1904000315.local” into the text field “Remote host”.

Instead of serial number you can also enter

the IP address of the camera in the text

field “Remote host”. To find out the IP ad-

dress of the camera you can use the

IMAGO VIBFinder program (only available

for Windows PC, see chapter “What´s

next?” for download details). This program

sends a broadcast via SNMP and shows all

IMAGO devices and their corresponding IP

addresses. In this example, the camera

has the IP address 192.168.0.209.

For the login, you need to know the username and password. This device is preconfigured with

two user accounts, namely “root” and “visionsensor”. The password for both is “vision”.

Usernames and passwords

VisionSensor PV2 / PV3

Username

Password

root

vision

visionsensor

vision

You can connect either as user “visionsensor”or as “root”. In this example, we log in as user

“root”. Enable the checkbox “Specify username”in MobaXterm. Enter the username “root” in the

corresponding text field. Confirm all settings with “OK”. Now the SSH connection should be estab-

lished and you will be asked for the password. After successful login, you can continue with the

next step “Set up your system”.

If you have a Debian GNU-/Linux PC you first have to install following package:

apt-get install libnss-mdns

Now you can use the “ssh” program to establish the SSH connection. As already mentioned you

can connect either as user “visionsensor”or as “root”. The password for both accounts is “vision”

(see table above). Enter the serial number of the camera without the hyphen and add the domain

“.local” as SSH destination. You can find the serial number on the camera.

Example: If the serial number of the camera is “VSPV-1904-000315” you must enter

“VSPV1904000315.local” as SSH destination.

ssh root@VSPV1904000315.local

Now the SSH connection should be established and you will be asked for the password. After suc-

cessful login, you can continue with the next step “Set up your system”.
