- Page 3 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 How to start VLAN-toolbox automatically starts the boot procedure after being plugged in. 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 modular VLAN-toolbox has nine VLANs available as a 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. Rotate the data button to move the cursor in the display to the VLAN line (bottom) until it reaches the desired port.
- Page 7 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 8 Fiber 1Gb/s LAG 5-6 In the VLAN-toolbox 8-2 you can assign the ports with fiber connections (9 and 10) to LAG group 5 or 6. The advantage of the fiber ports is that with two ports data speed of 2Gb/s...
- Page 9 LAGs 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 10 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 11 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 12 Make sure that the DHCP pool ranges of the different VLANs do not overlap.
- Page 13 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 14 For the fiber optic ports (9 and 10), the port information screen also shows the power that the respective port is outputting and receiving.
- Page 15 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. During use: The link LEDs (L) flash red when the port load is ≥...
- Page 16 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 ...
