Layer 2 network switches and media converters can be used, provided they support Fast Ethernet (100Base-TX) connections (ACE and dSNAKE are Ethernet 802.3 IEEE Layer 2 compliant) Typical applications include parallel connection of multiple ME-1 mixers, conversion of ACE or dSNAKE to fibre optic for longer cable runs, integration within an existing network infrastructure in a building. Layer 3 & 4 protocols including Spanning Tree, Tagged Egress Packets, and Broadcast Storm Protection can cause interruption to audio data or audible clicks. Note that no other network device should be plugged into a switch carrying ACE or dSNAKE data unless a dedicated VLAN is set up. When using an Ethernet switch or media converter, we suggest you check for errors and test for functionality and reliability before putting your iLive / GLD / ME system into service. Smart / managed switch - a switch with features that can be configured to perform network management functions. Layer 2 Ethernet device – a Layer 2 device is hardware based. It operates at the Data Link layer, which handles physical addressing. Layer 3 Ethernet device – these devices operate at the Network Layer, which provides network path determination and logical addressing functions. keywords: a.c.e. me1 fiber optical Q.o.S.
