5.6.13 Water Column Data Collection
Water column data takes a considerable amount of the uplink bandwidth. The network interface
card (NIC) settings are very important to allow the computer to work with water column data
collection. There are also Windows Registry settings that can be adjusted; please contact
r2support@r2sonic.com for details on changing Registry settings.
The NIC has to be Gigabit. It is very important to increase the Receive Buffer size, for the NIC, so
that the NIC can handle the flow of the data. Increase the value to the highest number possible.
Depending on the NIC; there is more than one way to accesses the Receive Buffer setting on the
Advanced Tab, under Configure.
