Use the 1000BASE-T LAN interface
To communicate at 1Gbps, all devices in the path from the WX-7000 to the controller PC must
support 1Gbps. Use a cable that is Category 7 or better.
Depending on the network environment being used, it is possible that you will encounter delays in
data transmission or congestion in processing. In such a case, try the following to improve the
situation:
Set your Windows to not to use the unnecessary protocols such as IPv6 WX-7000.
Reduce the number of broadcast packets as much as possible.
Use a communications path that does not pass through a router as much as possible.
