Cammera will not connect to crio

[Jeramy-Wilson25]

    Subject tells all basiclly when the camera is pluged into the crio the connectivity lights do not light up

Do I have to flash the crio with something?

Are you using an Ethernet crossover cable?

The camera is connected to ethernet port number two on the crio and the bridge connects to the first ethernet port.

That's good, but what type of Ethernet cable are you using?  If you connect the camera to the cRIO with a standard Ethernet cable the link light won't be illuminated on the cRIO.  You need to connect the camera to the cRIO with a crossover Ethernet cable.

Oh ok thats...Didn't realize there was a difference. Now I get it ill see if we can find one.

So a person on our team said he could make one but, on the wikipedia site there diagrams of multi kinds of cross over cables what one exactley do we need?

Hi Jeramy,

Use the 10/100 configuration (the first one in the Wikipedia article).  You should also have an orange crossover cable in the kit.

Good Luck!
