Modes of Operation
Switch Mode
When configured for Switch Mode (factory default), the module operates as a
standard layer 2 switch. Data flow will follow MAC address mapping.
Directed Switch Mode
When configured for Directed Switch Mode, traffic from ports P1 - P4 is only
forwarded to the uplink port F1, preventing the broadcast traffic from flooding other
network ports. Incoming traffic from F1 follows MAC address mapping.
