Transparent Mode Port and Channel Assignment
VLAN Mode
VLAN or transport mode supports four separate LAN connections. Port 1 is
dedicated to channel 1, and ports 2 to 4 are multiplexed to channel 2 to provide
three virtual LANs (VLANs 2, 3 and 4). Internal VLAN port tagging of packets
provides correct end-to-end matching of port traffic over the channel 2 link. Tags
are removed before port egress at the far end.

Mixed Mode
Mixed or hybrid mode provides a two-LAN solution. The first provides a
dedicated port 1 to channel 1 connection. The second provides a transparent
(broadcast) connection, tying ports 2, 3 and 4 to channel 1. Packets received on
any of these ports will be allowed to broadcast to the other three ports, but not to
port 1 or channel 1.
