Easy Installation and Use

The SRS VLAN Toolbox 8-2 starts up automatically as soon as it is powered and is ready to use within minutes. Progress is clearly shown on the display, so you know exactly how long the startup process takes. Operation is easy via a rotary data button and an escape key, allowing settings to be adjusted quickly and efficiently, even without specialized networking knowledge.

VLAN Configuration and Network Management.

The VLAN Toolbox 8-2 makes it easy to manage VLANs (Virtual Local Area Networks) and assign them to available ports. This helps you separate different data streams and optimize the performance of your network. With preconfigured VLAN presets, such as for audio-over-IP and lighting control (Art-Net), you can quickly and easily set up the right network structure.

• VLAN 10: Control-1 network
• VLAN 20: Audio-over-IP
• VLAN 30: Dante-Primary
• VLAN 40: Dante-Secondary
• VLAN 50: Art-Net
• VLAN 60: sACN
• VLAN 70: Light-over-IP
• VLAN 80: Video-over-IP
• VLAN 90: Intercom

Trunking and Link Aggregation (LAG)

The VLAN toolbox also supports advanced networking features such as trunking, which lets you transport multiple VLANs over a single port for efficient data connections between switches. In addition, Link Aggregation (LAG) allows you to combine multiple ports to increase bandwidth or create redundancy. This is especially useful when using multiple switches in large-scale AV networks.

PoE and Real-Time Monitoring

The switch supports Power over Ethernet (PoE+) and delivers a total power of 67W, ideal for powering AV devices over the same network cables. The display lets you view real-time information about the status of the ports, including power consumption and load per port. A built-in cable tester helps you quickly troubleshoot any connection issues, and warning messages on the display inform you of problems such as IP conflicts or port overloads.

Reliability and Easy Troubleshooting

Thanks to the intuitive interface, you can quickly and easily identify and resolve network problems. Should you ever need to reset your settings, the VLAN toolbox provides convenient options for restoring factory defaults or restoring to previously saved configurations. In addition, you can test all LED indicators on the front panel for quick visual feedback on network status.

With the SRS Lighting VLAN Toolbox 8-2, you get a reliable, powerful and easy-to-use network management tool tailored to the high demands of AV networks. This switch is ideal for those who want full control over a professional AV network without in-depth network knowledge.
