VLAN Use Cases

Redundant Dante connections

This case double the cables between devices as a
safeguard against cable breakage. This diagram shows
a setup using VLAN preset C.

Separating control signals
from audio signals
This case logically separates control signals such as for
Editor or StageMix from Dante's audio signals, making
the network more stable. This diagram shows a setup
using VLAN preset B.
If VLANs are not used, and control signals and audio
signals flow across the same network, the two will
compete for communication bandwidth. In order to
prevent such an effect, we recommend that you use
VLANs to separate the control signal and audio signal
networks.
Link aggregation is enabled for the trunk connections of
the VLAN presets. By using two trunk cables, you can
connect two SWP1 units at 2 Gbps.
