To create VLANs, on the Advanced Setup tab of Device Configuration page
navigate to the Encoder > Vlan Tags folder, select the output you want to assign
the VLAN tag to, and click Add in the Properties pane. Alternatively, on the front
panel navigate to Advanced/System/Vlan Tags and set up the VLANs as required.
The available options are listed in the following table.
Table 5.121 VLAN Creation Options
Parameter Values Description
Vlan ID (Create) 2-4094 New VLAN ID to create.
Vlan IP xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
VLAN IP Address (VLAN tagged Transport Stream will have
this as its source IP address).
Vlan Netmask yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy VLAN Netmask.
Vlan Gateway zzz.zzz.zzz.zzz VLAN gateway address for the current VLAN.
Note: The VLAN Id and its IP address must be unique across all Ethernet
interfaces.
VLAN Tag Sharing
Once the VLANs are created, they can be assigned to IP Transport Streams. To do
that, navigate to Service Configuration page, and create a Transport Stream for
the appropriate IP output. Then, click on the newly created Transport Stream, and in
the Properties widget select the required VLAN tag. VLANs can also be assigned to
Transport Streams in the Outputs/IP Output <m>/Data Interface Group
<n>/Transport Stream ID: <id>/Destination List/Destination <k>/Vlan Tag front
panel menu. The following options can be set:
Table 5.122 VLAN Tag Sharing Options
Parameter Values Description
Vlan Tag None, existing VLAN tag
Disables VLAN tagging or assigns the selected VLAN tag to
the current Transport Stream.
Vlan Priority 0-7 Priority that can be used to support QoS.
It is also possible to group multiple Transport Streams under the same VLAN. To do
this, assign the same VLAN tag to all of them.
Note: On the web user interface, VLANs can be managed through the Service
Configuration page by clicking on the Manage button next to the Vlan Tag
parameter.
VLAN Deletion
A VLAN can be deleted by changing the VLAN Tag parameter under the Transport
Stream to None. If a VLAN tag used by any Transport Stream is deleted, the VLAN
Tag parameter is set to None in the respective Transport Streams.
