Network Port Selection Network port selection enables network traffic to be managed and segregated based on traffic type. Internal VLANs are used to route different traffic types to specific external Ethernet ports, which are assigned to the various traffic types. AES67 or Dante audio can be separated from the primary video and control network resulting in a dedicated audio network.
Settings Tab, Port Selection Device Mode Locking Device mode locking controls whether the SETUP button on a DM-NVX-35x and the DMF-CI-8 front panel can be used to change the operating mode of the DM-NVX-35x and DM-NVX-35xC devices, respectively. The operating mode determines when the DM-NVX-35x(C) device functions as a receiver or transmitter.
Settings Tab – System Setup, Device Mode Lock Configuration For additional information, refer to the online help of the web interface.
