Port description
To have a better overview about what is connected to what port, you can change the port description of each port.
The port description has a maximum length of 8 characters.
The following characters are allowed.
Upper case letters A...Z
Lower case letters a...z
Numbers 0...9
Spaces, minus (-), plus (+), underscore (_)
Groups
You can assign one group for each port. Two devices must be part of the same group to communicate.
Groups are a logical segment of network users (= VLAN). With groups it is possible to send different signals in
different groups via the same network cable without affect the other signal. For example sound and light signals.
The groups for port 1 through 13 can be manually configured. By default, all groups are managed groups.
The assigned group is visible at the front end display of the MA Network Switch and indicated by the group LED.
The switch has eight different groups.
1. Group01 (Red)
2. Group02 (Yellow)
3. Group03 (Green)
4. Group04 (Cyan)
5. Group05 (Blue)
6. Group06 (Magenta)
7. Trunk (White)
8. Manage (Gray)
If more than one switch is in a network and more than one group is in use, the Trunk is needed to forward all group
packets to the other switches. The Trunk bundles all other groups.
Important:
You need at least one manage group in the network.
If no manage port is in the network you can not configure the switch anymore. A
is
necessary.
