SW1: Mode Of Operation - “Normal / Directed”
This DIP-switch is only supported on models with 2 RJ-45 ports.
The module supports Normal Switch and Directed Switch mode.
The modes are described with MAC learning enabled. When MAC learning is
disabled, unicast packets are forwarded to all ports.
Normal Switch Mode
When this DIP-switch is in the factory default DOWN “Normal” position, the module
is configured for Switch Mode. In this mode, the module operates as a standard
layer 2 switch. Data flow will follow MAC address mapping.
Directed Switch Mode (AKA Camera Mode)
When this DIP-switch is in the UP “Directed” position, the module is configured for
Directed Switch Mode. In this mode, traffic from all the RJ-45 ports is only forwarded
to the uplink port P1, preventing broadcast traffic from flooding the other network
ports. Incoming traffic from uplink port P1 follows MAC address mapping.
Directed Switch Mode
SW2 - SW7: Reserved on all models
These DIP-switches must be left in the factory default DOWN position.
SW8: Pause - “Off / On”
Setting the DIP-switch to the factory default DOWN “Off” position configures the
module to advertise no Pause capability on all ports. Setting this DIP-switch to the
UP “On” position configures the module to advertise Symmetrical and Asymmetrical
Pause capability to all ports.
