used for each synchronization.
A third MAC address can be entered:
Mark a line and then press <Edit>.
<Edit>
Open the MAC address for entry.
Enter the address in hexadecimal from the keypad
and the softkeys <A . . F > (e.g. to enter a “C” press
the softkey three times or to enter an “F” six times,
then finish up by pressing <OK> to confirm your

yes or no
Default setting:
No
ID:
Identifier for the VLAN to which the frame belongs.
Every VLAN is assigned a unique number, the VLAN
ID. A device, which belongs to the VLAN with the ID
= 1, can communicate with every other device in the
same VLAN, but not with a device in other VLANs
(one with an ID other than 1, i.e. 2).
Range: from 0 to 4095
Default:
0
Priority:
User - Priority Information
One of eight priorities (3 bits) can be assigned to
each frame.
In this manner, it is possible e.g. to give priority to
forwarding voice data (e.g. in the case of VoIP),
while HTTP data will be handled as a lower priority.
Range: 0 to 7

0
