  • Page 3: Functions And Control

    Introduction Congratulations on purchasing your SRS LIGHTING VLAN-toolbox. You have undoubtedly purchased this switch controller for specific tasks in your data network. For the sake of completeness, here are some highlights of the VLAN-toolbox. Functions and Control VLAN-toolbox provides simple way to physically separate data streams within a switch for improved performance in terms of data speed and clearer organization in the form of VLANs.

  • Page 4: Operation

    Operation How to start Once the VLAN-toolbox receives power, the boot procedure begins. Please note that this procedure takes ±4 minutes. The progress bar at the bottom of the display shows that the process is progressing. Controls The VLAN-toolbox has two controls: the data button and the escape key. The data button can be rotated and pressed.
  • Page 5 VLAN-preset The ModulAir VLAN-toolbox has nine VLANs available as standard. Each of these has a setting that suits the specific application. For the sake of clarity, the numbering of the VLANs is limited to tens. Based on the application, the overview looks like this: Application Vlan-10 Control-1...
  • Page 6 Assigning VLANs to a port To separate data streams such as DANTE, sACN and Video over IP, they can be individually assigned to ports of VLAN-toolbox. The first twenty Ethernet ports, which are assigned per group (G1 to 10) on the front panel of the VLAN toolbox.
  • Page 7 Port status The display shows the status of each port. In the above screen, port 3 (of group 2) is active (Up) and the rest is inactive (Down). This port operates at a speed of 100Mbit/s. Trunking (T) has been selected for ports 11 + 12 (group 6), 17 + 18 (group 8) and port 19 + 20 (group 10).
  • Page 8 Using trunking (T) Instead of assigning a port to a VLAN, you can also opt for trunking. A port that is designated as a trunking port transports all VLANs. This is ideal for transporting data from one switch to another. The second switch can then separate the data stream, after which the original VLANs can be assigned to the desired ports again.
  • Page 9 Trunk-groups (LAG’s) You can also select a trunk group in the VLAN-toolbox. This way you can use multiple ports to transport the data, which allows you to add the bandwidth (Gb/s) of the number of ports together, which increases the speed proportionally. You can also create redundancy, so that the data is not interrupted if one of the data lines is unexpectedly broken.
  • Page 10 In the VLAN-toolbox 24-4 you can assign the ports with fiber connections (25, 26, 27 and 28) to LAG groups 5, 6, 7 and 8. The advantage of the fiber ports is that with four ports a data speed of 40Gb/s can be achieved simultaneously over a distance of 10 kilometers.
  • Page 11 LAG’s in between switches Please note that a LAG group can only be used for data transport between two switches. For example, if you use LAG group 1 between two switches and then want to transfer the data to a third switch, use LAG group 2 for this. Trunk Ethernet 1Gb/s Trunk...
  • Page 12 Enable DHCP server The VLAN-toolbox can distribute IP addresses to devices connected to it, assuming that the device in question does not have a static IP address. To do this, the DHCP server must be enabled, if it is not already enabled. Make sure that there is never more than one DHCP server active within a network.
  • Page 13 Assign DHCP server IP range to VLAN You can determine the range within which the DHCP server distributes IP addresses per VLAN. Rotate the data button to place the cursor on the bottom line at the VLAN field. Press the data button to open the screen. Rotate the data knob to select the VLAN for which you want to set the DHCP range.
  • Page 14 Make sure that the DHCP pool ranges of the different VLANs do not overlap.
  • Page 15 Request port information You can request information from individual ports, which provides insight into the status of the port (down or data speed), the power consumption when using power over ethernet (PoE), the load on the port in question (TX / RX) and to which VLAN the port is assigned. There is also a cable tester.
  • Page 16 For the fiber optic ports (25 to 28), the port information screen also shows the power that the respective port is outputting and receiving.
  • Page 17 Feedback (notifications) The VLAN-toolbox provides feedback on the display in specific cases. These are generally warnings when an inconvenient or unusable setting has been made or when (too) large amounts of data are being transported via a port. When activating a port, when it changes to the UP status: Err Duplicate-IP: there are two identical IP addresses on the network or two DHCP ...
  • Page 18 Initialize When you hold down the escape key, a menu with four choices will appear after a while. Rotate the data button to move the cursor to the desired option. Press the data button to confirm your choice. The VLAN-toolbox will then perform the selected action. Reconfig switch: loads the settings you have made back into the switch ...
