Using your LinkStation
LinkStation User Manual

Notes: To use the LinkStation with Jumbo Frame, your router/switch/hub must support Jumbo
Frame.
To use Jumbo Frame (4102/7422/9694 bytes), your computer’s NICs and all switches, hubs,
and routers on the transmission route need to support Jumbo Frame. If any device on the
route does not support Jumbo Frame, use standard transmission (1518 bytes) instead.
If you are using Jumbo Frame and back up data from a LinkStation/TeraStation to another
LinkStation/TeraStation, set the Ethernet frame sizes of the LinkStations/TeraStations to
the same settings (or the closest available). If the Ethernet frame sizes are significantly
different, the backup job may fail. If you have problems with backup jobs, select the default
frame size (1518 bytes).
