Activating tagged VLAN (Dante® network)

A VLAN (virtual local area network) separates a physical network into partial networks. As a result, you can set up several virtual networks from a physically existent switch port (such as the Dante® network and control network).

The TC Bar supports the prioritizing technology tagged VLAN as per IEEE 802.1Q. Thus, for example, when the TC Bar S is used with only a network connection, the Dante® network and the control network can be separated virtually and operated independently. In the process, the frames for the Dante® network receive a tag (marking) that contains the VLAN ID. That is how the switch port receives information about the Dante® VLAN to which the frame belongs.

When the TC Bar M is used, the Dante® network and control network can be operated independently of one another via the two existing network ports. To do this, select the network mode Split Mode. You can find more information in the chapter Split mode.

To activate tagged VLAN for a Dante® network:

In , navigate to Network.
In the Network Mode window, select the mode Dual Domain Mode.
In the Dante® Settings window, click Edit.
In the field VLAN ID, enter the correct ID in order to be routed to the correct network.
Click OK to save the changes.

Tagged VLAN has been activated.
