Switch Cascading
To accommodate situations where multiple switches are installed in different floors of a building
or installed across campus, switch cascading with dedicated link ports or aggregate link ports are
used for switch interconnects. These link ports often have higher bandwidth than the switch
ports, however, care must be taken not to exceed the total AV bandwidth between switches.
IP-Logic Isolated VLAN
All IP-Logic devices should reside on a single VLAN. Most switches default to a single VLAN and
there is no need to create more.
It is highly recommended to isolate the IP-Logic VLAN environment from all other networked
devices in a facility (for example: control systems, wireless routers, computers, printers, etc.).
The Essentials control server is equipped with two network ports: AVoIP LAN and Control LAN.
The AVoIP LAN is used to connect Essentials to other IP Logic devices such as ZIG-IPPRO-RX and
ZIG-IPPRO-TX. The Essentials Control LAN is connected to the facility Ethernet to interface with

party Control Systems. If the Control LAN is provided with Internet access, then Essentials can
