Setting the PAN Port Associations The PAN (device) ports can support up to four different VLAN domains. 3Com Central Configuration Manager lets you assign individual ports to four separate VLANs, all ports to the same VLAN, or any combination in between. The following example illus- trates how the Port Associations are used to create two port groups assigned to separate VLANs—where the ports in one group cannot share traffic with ports in the other.
To reset the LAN port and recover network communications, the NJ200 Network Jack must be connected to a hub or flat VLAN. It can then be reconfigured with the proper VID using 3Com Central Configuration Manager. Port Association box is checked.

24-hour delay that cost the company many thousands of dollars. This disaster might have been avoided if IT staff had installed 3Com NJ200 Network Jacks in all offices and conference rooms as part of the infrastructure upgrade. Using port-based VLANs, all VoIP transmissions could have been directed through their own subnet, regardless of what conference room was being used.
