VLAN tags are used to create independent logical networks, virtual local area networks (VLANs), within a physical network. Multiple
media converter switches that are connected to each other in a daisy chain are members of the same VLAN. The media converter
switches tag the multicast packages moving between them so that the next media converter switch in line knows the destination of
the packages. In other words, the VLAN tag serves as a VLAN identifier. VLAN tagging should only be used when using multiple
cameras and media converter switches because forwarding multicast packages with a VLAN tag only serves a purpose when the port
is connected to another media converter switch, which might be connected to potential viewers.
Note
When connecting an outgoing media converter switch network connector to another type of network device, set the dip
switch to position A to protect the device from multicast traffic.
