ABOUT VIA ETHERNET SWITCHES
VIA™ Gigabit Ethernet Switches are designed for live entertainment Ethernet systems, including audio, video and DMX-over-
Ethernet networks. This manual covers models 6750, 6750-P, 6752-P and 6754-P.
VIA Ethernet Switches are intended specifically for signal routing between Pathport DMX-over-Ethernet gateways, or similar
equipment, and Ethernet-aware lighting and audio control products, such as consoles and controllers and end equipment. A
VIA is a routing device and is not a source of the control protocols or the data being passed. Switches only provide management
control over the data path.
The VIA12 family is easily configured and upgraded using the freely available software tool, Pathscape. They are also
configurable using the Front Panel UI, which consists of the LCD and rotary pushbutton encoder.
IMPORTANT: VIA model 6750 does not provide hardware support for IEEE 802.3af Power-over-
Ethernet (PoE). It does not provide a way to connect an external PoE supply. VIA models
6750-P, 6752-P and 6754-P feature an integrated 100W PoE supply for powering compatible
If you connect PoE-enabled devices to a 6750 they will not receive power.
