Teaming

Dual LAN with Teaming functionality enabled allows two single connections to act as one single connection for twice
the transmission bandwidth, making data transmission more effective and also improving the quality of transmission
of distant image(s). Fault tolerance on the dual LAN network prevents network downtime by transferring the workload
from a failed port to a working port.
• Before teaming, make sure the LAN2 port is connected to a network.
• The speed of transmission is subject to the actual network environment or status even with Teaming enabled.
• To enable Teaming or Bonding (IEEE 802.3ad Link Aggregation) feature, it is required that the connected net-
work switch or router device supports the IEEE 802.3ad LACP standard. Please refer to your network switch
or router device manual for further details.
