Set NIC Teaming
NIC Teaming consolidates several physical network cards to group, thereby creating redundancy. Redundancy can help intercept interference in network cards or in the cabling by assigning the data transfer to other devices in the group.
Requirements:
- The original Intel® driver can be downloaded from https://downloadcenter.intel.com.
- Install the original Intel® driver for the Network Interface Card. Note that this will delete the real-time capable driver from Beckhoff.

- 3. Click on the Teaming tab.
- 4. Click on New Team and follow the installation instructions.
- 5. Under Select a team type select the option Adapter Fault Tolerance
