Once the VLANs are created, they can be assigned to IP Transport Streams. To do
that, navigate to the 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
