The GigE server
periodically scans the network automatically to refresh its state. It might
take a few seconds for the GigE Server to refresh its state after a GigE camera
has obtained an IP address.
For example, to
start the application in Ubuntu, use the File Manager to open the directory and
use the pop-up menu Run command.

Alternatively, the tool can be started directly from any local directory (it is copied to the /usr/local/bin directory). For example, in Ubuntu:
![]()
When the
application is started, the application icon is placed in the Launcher bar (in
Ubuntu), from where it can be locked to easily start the application.
