Setting the MTU Size
For using LAG it is important you set the correct MTU size.
- Start microDisplay X.
You find microDisplayX.exe in your Silicon Software runtime installation directory, sub-directory bin (for example: C:\Program Files\SiliconSoftware\Runtime5.7.0\bin\microDisplayX.exe). - Select the GigE Vision frame grabber board you want to configure camera(s) and firmware for.
- Load an LAG applet via double-click on the applet name.
- Go to tab Cameras and to subtab Connection.
- Set the MTU size to your requirements:
- Stop image acquisition if running.
- In the Stream Channels pane, click the Edit button. (Use the slider on the right hand side of the program window if the Edit button is not visible.)
- Ensure Auto MTU is disabled.
- Set your MTU value.
- Click the Apply button.
MTU Size Value range
Note that the MTU size minus four has to be an integer multiple of 8, i.e.,
(MTU - 4) % 8 == 0.
You must not change the MTU while an acquisition is running. You do not need to restart the PC after setting the MTU.
