10.2.3 Configuration of the network card

You can use the "

Configure…

button in the “Properties of LAN connections” window in order to define

the properties of the network card.

We strongly recommend activating the "

Jumbo Packet

" property in order to achieve a trouble-free

Ethernet connection to the VarioCAM

HD. This function significantly reduces the occupancy rate of the

network and allows for loss-free data transmission even at high frame rates.
