Network adapter

•Click the Disable uEye network service button to disable the GigE uEye network service for a network adapter. To enable the network service, click the Enable uEye network service button. Before you can enable or disable a network adapter, you need to select it in the tree structure of the dialog box.
We recommend disabling the GigE uEye network service for all network adapters that are not being used for uEye cameras.

•In the "IP Address" and "IP Subnetmask" input boxes, you can assign a static IP address and a static IP subnet mask to the selected network adapter. DHCP will be disabled automatically.

•Use 2K jumbo packets
If you select this check box, the camera will transfer the image data in larger packets. These packets, called jumbo packets, have a size of 2 KB (2048 bytes) and can increase the data throughput, depending on the hardware used.

To use jumbo packets with uEye cameras, set a packet size of at least 2048 bytes in the settings of the network adapter you are using. Note that the connection between the GigE uEye camera and the PC must continuous be able to transport jumbo packets to ensure the transmission of the jumbo packets. Information on these settings is provided in the manual supplied with the network adapter.
