VLAN PROPERTIES

VLAN Tagged
VLAN
Once VLANs are enabled and the VLAN range is set, by default a port is set as Untagged with a VLAN ID# of 1, or the
lowest ID# of the VLAN range.
Ports set as Untagged only transmit data packets in the VLAN specified by the ID# and are typically connected to end
equipment.
Ports set as Tagged/Uplink do not require a VLAN ID#, and this option will not be shown. Tagged ports transmit all data
packets regardless of the packet's VLAN ID. Tagged ports should only be connected to other tagged ports, typically on
other switches. Do not connect Pathport gateways or other devices like computers unless you have specifically
configured your Ethernet port to receive tagged data (advanced network setup only).
Generally, a Tagged port on one switch should not be connected to an Untagged port on another switch.

NETWORK PROTOCOL SUPPORT

ART-NET ALTERNATE MAPPING
This feature is used in conjunction with the "Art-Net Trap-and-Convert to sACN" feature. It is a device parent-level
property; it is enabled across the entire device. The Art-Net Trap and Convert property can be enabled on a port-by-port
basis.
It does not affect unicast Art-Net packets.
The Art-Net protocol uses two hexadecimal numbers, a 'subnet' and a 'universe', to define its DMX universe numbering.
Numbering is usually shown as # - # and the valid range is from 0 - 0 (zero-zero) to F- F.
However, most other common protocols, including sACN, do not have a universe 'zero'. The issue is compounded because
some early Art-Net implementations are shown in a straight decimal representation (1, 2, 3, 4...) without any indication if "1"
corresponds to Art-Net universe 0-0 or to 0-1. Art-Net controllers are strongly urged not to transmit on 0-0.
35
Untagged (default): Only data belonging to the port's specified VLAN ID# will be
transmitted. Typically set when connected to end equipment.
Tagged/Uplink: All traffic on all VLANs will be transmitted. Typically set when
connected to another switch.
Assigns the selected port to the specified VLAN.
