Enabling jumbo frames

Standardized Ethernet frames have a size of 1518 bytes. Ethernet frames that are larger than 1518 bytes are referred to as jumbo frames. Jumbo frames are used for transferring large data quantities. Jumbo frames are useful for certain applications, e.g. video cameras.

The Ethernet interfaces (X000, X001) support jumbo frames only if the original Intel® driver is installed.

Requirements:

The original Intel® driver can be downloaded from https://downloadcenter.intel.com.
Install the original Intel® driver. Note that this will delete the real-time capable driver from Beckhoff.
Check whether the peripheral devices support jumbo frames.

Jumbo frames are activated as follows:

1. Under Start > Control Panel > Hardware and Sound click on Device Manager.

2. Double-click on the interface and then on the Advanced tab.
