1. Open the Network Connections window in the Windows Control Panel. For quick access,
press the Windows + R keys, enter ncpa.cpl and press the Enter key.
2. Right click on the name of the connection for your network adapter, and select Properties from
the context menu.
3. Click the Configure... button.
A controller properties window will open.
4. Click on the Advanced tab. Select the following parameters in the Property group and set
their values in the Value group:
Note: Depending on the network adapter model, the parameter names of your network adapter
may differ from the ones shown below. Also, the ways of setting the parameters may differ, and
some parameters may not be available.
Contact Basler technical support if you need assistance.
a. Select the Jumbo Frames (or Jumbo Packets) parameter and set its size to the maximum
value.
b. If no Jumbo Frames parameter is present, select the parameter which relates to frame size
and set its size to the maximum value, which typically is 1.5 kB.
c. Select the parameter which relates to the number of receive descriptors (e.g. Receive
Descriptors) and set it to its maximum value.
d. Select the parameter which relates to the number of CPU interrupts (e.g. Interrupt
Moderation Rate) and set it to a low value (e.g. 1000).
For your network adapter, the way of setting the number of CPU interrupts may differ. You
may, e.g., have to use a parameter to set a low number for the interrupt moderation and use
a different parameter to enable the interrupt moderation.
e. Select the parameter which relates to speed and duplex mode (e.g. Speed and Duplex
Mode) and set it to auto (e.g. Auto Negotiation).
5. If you have only one network adapter in the computer, the configuration for the filter driver is
complete and you can close the Network Connections window and exit this procedure.
If you have more than one network adapter that should be used with the filter driver, return to
step 2, select one of the other adapters, and perform steps 3 through 5 for each adapter.
Refer to the "Network Related Camera Parameters and Managing Bandwidth" section of your
camera User’s Manual for further adjustments of the network performance by setting additional
network parameters for the network switch and the camera.
To modify the network adapter:
If you use a firewall on your computer, disable the firewall for the network adapter
to which your camera is connected. For more information about disabling the
firewall for network adapters, see Section 4.3.2.
