# Installation GigE

Kithara Transport Layer The *Kithara* Transport Layer is not recommended for new developments. If you have any questions, please contact our support team.    

Note GigE Transport Layer GCT delivers two different Transport Layers (TL) in the installer. You can decide between the *s2i* TL and the *Kithara* TL. For a real-time application with high frame rates, it is recommended to use the *Kitahra* TL. Furthermore, it is recommended to set up your system with the *s2i* TL and if necessary activate the *Kitahra* TL later on.  
With this **installation**, you can also connect a **CXP** camera with **GCT**  
  
For the allPixa neo and a Broadcom network adapter, you can use the *s2i* TL.

To install the GCT software for Windows:

1. Download the installer from our [homepage](https://chromasens.de/en/software).
2. Install the NIC-10GigE-Driver Files, please refer to [Network adapters and transceivers](/v1/docs/tested-network-adapters-and-transceivers).
3. Connect the camera to the PC and turn it on.
4. Start the GCT installer and follow the instructions.
5. At the window *Select Components:* Select the **Full installation***,* if you want to install *Kithara* or use the **Installation for GigE & CXP** if you only need the *s2i* TL.![](https://cdn.document360.io/eca58697-9c2f-461e-9f0a-e6205b74b693/Images/Documentation/image-1675845854969.png)
6. For *Kithara* a License Dongle is required
7. During installation, you will be asked if you want to configure the **GigE network adapters**, if you are using a network adapter with an *Intel* chipset, you should answer with **Yes**
  1. The command line window lists all available ethernet adapters and you can configure the network adapter by entering a **Y** into the script. Now the script setup your network card.
  2. For each adapter, you will be asked in the script. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/eca58697-9c2f-461e-9f0a-e6205b74b693/Images/Documentation/image-1675785849183.png)Note If an error occurs during the execution of the script you have to configure the network adapter manually. Make sure that the **parameters** of your **network adapter** are set correctly. For more information, see [Configure the network adapter](/v1/docs/configure-the-network-adapter-1#manual-setting-of-the-parameters).
8. After the configuration of the network parameter, the script can help you to set a static IP Address of the network adapter. *We recommend disagreeing* by entering **N** into the window. If you want to set a static IP Address for your network, you can answer with **Y**.
9. Restart the PC
10. If you want to use Kithara please configure Kithara after the restart. To set up *Kithara,* please follow the instructions [10 GigE with Kithara transport layer](/v1/docs/10-gige-interface-with-kithara-real-time-solution-1#setting-up-the-kithara-transport-layer).
