3.4.6 VLAN Configuration

When AV200 CableLAN Adapters are used for ADSL extension, it is important

for the operator to be able to distinguish the type of traffic that each adapter is

generating. This is usually done by means of VLAN tagging. The AV200 technology

includes the ability to tag all traffic that enters the CableLAN network through each

adapter’s Ethernet interface. It is only tagging - there is no VLAN filtering on an

AV200 CableLAN network.

The parameters for VLAN configuration can be set in the form displayed below.

First, the Spirit VLAN can be enabled or disabled (Spirit VLAN Configuration

checkbox). If enabled, the VLAN tag (Spirit VLAN Tag field) and priority (Spirit

VLAN Priority field) can then also be configured.

3.4.7 Priority Configuration

It is possible to configure the Activity LED (in the middle of the front panel). The

LED shows the quality of the network connection to other AV200 devices. There

are two configurable speed markers. The adapter simply reads the network speed

and changes the blink rate of the Act LED according to these markers. The default

values are 25 Mbps and 75 Mbps.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This advanced LED functionality is available only when

a Fixed AP (described in section 3.4.3.1) is present on the CableLAN network.

In order to function correctly, the Fixed AP must be connected to your internet

connection or to the first device on your network (i.e. modem or router). If

there is no Fixed AP on the network, the LEDs may not behave as described

below.

The behavior of the LED is described in the table below.
