The CIR radar will auto-negotiate its’ connection speed on a network, so it is worth ensuring that all switching equipment in the data chain is 1Gbit capable.There exists a setting in the web-interface for configuring the radar that sets an upper limit on the auto-negotiation speed, should that ever be required. As long as your network will support it, It would be worth checking that this value is set to 1000Mbps and not anything lower. The setting is part of the “System Configuration” page in the web user interface:

There are further ways to reduce the required bandwidth for the radar’s connection in to your system. The total number of reporting “bins” for each of the 400 azimuths of each rotation can be reduced; it makes sense to do this when customers can be sure that they are not interested in radar returns beyond a certain range.
This can be adjusted, either by implementing an overall maximum-operating-range for the unit, or can be implemented on a per-angle basis, where a “contour” can be defined that allows for a particular shape of data to be returned.
Setting a fixed range limit that applies to all azimuths can be easily done through the web user interface – log in with the “Engineer” account and navigate to the Factory>Configuration page to find this setting:
...
The process to make this adjustment is presented in this “how-to” video.
Setting the range limit on a per-angle basis is more involved, and is described here:isd escribed as “Contour Update Message” here.
