Ethernet interfaces (X600, X601)
The two Ethernet interfaces are independent of each other and no switch is integrated. The independent Ethernet interfaces can be configured differently. Note that an additional switch is required for a line topology.
Both Ethernet interfaces achieve speeds of 10/100/1000 Mbit/s. The LEDs on the left-hand side of the interfaces indicate the connection status. The lower LED (LINK/ACT) indicates whether the interface is connected to a network. If this is the case, the LED lights up green. The LED flashes when data transmission is in progress on the interface.
The upper LED (SPEED) indicates the connection speed. At a speed of 10 Mbit/s, the LED does not light up. At a speed of 100 Mbit/s, the LED lights up green. At 1000 Mbit/s (Gigabit), the LED lights up red.

Display in the Device Manager
By default, the Ethernet interfaces are identified as follows in the Device Manager:
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.
Requirements:
- Check whether the peripherals used support jumbo frames.
Proceed as follows:
- 1. Start the Device Manager.
- 2. Double-click on an interface and then on the Advanced tab.
- 3. Under Property click on Jumbo Packet and under Value click on the option 4088 Bytes or 9014 Bytes.
