Maximum transmission unit (MTU) refers to the size (in bytes) of
the largest packet that a given layer of a communications protocol can
pass onwards. The default MTU for Ethernet is 1500. The optimum for
Gigabit Ethernet is 8000 - 12000. Different MTU settings in the same
subnet can cause package losses, i.e. never ever
change the
MTU unless you know what you're doing. Changing the MTU to other val-
ues
than 1500 when using file or web services from other computers are
almost always a bug. It's save to increase MTU when working in
peer-to-peer mode with both devices sharing the same MTU. Please not
that few network cards support 16K, most Gigabit Ethernet cards are
limited to 9k, some don't support Jumbo Frames (MTU
This driver supplied with MATRIX VISION products represents
the port between the programmer and the hardware. The driver concept
of MATRIX VISION provides a standardized programming interface to all
image processing products made by
MATRIX VISION GmbH.
The advantage of this concept for the programmer
is that a developed application runs without the need for any major
modifications to the various image processing products made by MATRIX
VISION GmbH. You can also incorporate new driver versions, which are
available for download free of charge on our website:

• mvIMPACT_Acquire_API_C_manual.chm
• mvIMPACT_Acquire_API_NET_manual.chm
and can be downloaded from our website.
With netboot you can boot mvBlueCOUGAR over network.
This is especially useful when several devices share the same pieces
of software, i.e. same root file system, which might be subject to change
frequently.
Network File System (NFS) is a network file system protocol,
allowing clients to access files over LAN. Given that you need a NFS
server are uncommon on Windows, this protocol best fits for Linux-Linux
connections.
