AXIS Q6055-C PTZ Dome Network Camera
The camera attaches a particular VLAN tag to all its forwarded multicast packages. The media
converter switch manages how these multicast packages are forwarded between cameras, media
converter switches and other network devices. This especially useful when connecting the camera
and media converter switch to the network in a daisy chain.
By changing the position of the dip switches, each network connector port in the media converter
switch can be configured to manage multicasts in three different ways.

VLAN tags are used to create independent logical networks, virtual local area networks (VLANs),
within a physical network. Multiple media converter switches that are connected to each other
in a daisy chain are members of the same VLAN. The media converter switches tag the multicast
packages moving between them so that the next media converter switch in line knows the
destination of the packages. In other words, the VLAN tag serves as a VLAN identifier. VLAN
tagging should only be used when using multiple cameras and media converter switches because
forwarding multicast packages with a VLAN tag only serves a purpose when the port is connected
to another media converter switch, which might be connected to potential viewers.
Description
Remove VLAN tags from forwarded multicast packages. Use this setting
when connecting to the network, directly or through a router or network
switch.
