How to configure D-Link DGS-1210 Ethernet Switch for DanteTM Networks and VEO
over IP products
QUICK START GUIDE

18 HOW TO CONFIGURE D-LINK DGS-1210 ETHERNET SWITCH INTRODUCTION
Due to the network requirements established by Audinate® for DanteTM Networks
and taking in consideration the network requirements for our VEO over IP
devices, this quick guide aims to explain how to configure the D-Link DGS-1210
family of switches in order to make them compliant to these requirements. All
the requirements are mandatory for every switch used in a Dante or VEO over IP
system, independently by the brands.
19 ESTABLISHING COMMUNICATION WITH D-LINK ETHERNET SWITCH
4. Connect your computer to the D-Link Ethernet Switch using an Ethernet
cable. DLink DSG-1210 Ethernet Switches come with a default Static IP address
of 10.90.90.90;
5. Configure your PC with a Static IP address in the same subnet such as
10.90.90.66, with subnet mask 255.0.0.0.
6. Open your Internet browser and type the default IP address of the switch:
http://10.90.90.90. The default Password is “admin”.
20 ENABLING IGMP PROTOCOL
Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) is mandatory for the correct
operation of VEO over IP products when they are configured as multicast
devices. Without IGMP enabled, audio/video signal can’t be transmitted
properly or it may freeze. With IGMP snooping, the Smart Managed Switch can
make intelligent multicast forwarding decisions by examining the content of
each frame’s Layer 2 MAC header. IGMP snooping can help reduce cluttered
traffic on the LAN. With IGMP snooping enabled, the Smart Managed Switch will
forward multicast traffic only to connections that have group members
attached.
7. Select L2 FunctionMulticastIGMP Snooping 8. Enable IGMP Snooping by
activating the related selection box and clicking on
Apply.

9. Select Save in the upper left corner and press Save Config button in order
to ensure that all changes are saved as current configuration in use.
21 ENABLING Jumbo Frame
D-Link Gigabit Smart Managed Switches support jumbo frames (frames larger than
the Ethernet frame size of 1536 bytes) of up to 9216 bytes (tagged). It is
disabled by default.
2. Select L2 Function Jumbo Frame
3. Enable Jumbo Frame by activating the related selection box and click on
Apply.

4. Select Save in the upper left corner and press Save Config button in order
to ensure that all changes are saved as current configuration in use.
22 Disabling POWER Saving and EEE (Energy Efficient Ethernet)
In order to prevent audio or video drops out, all the power saving features
need to be disabled. This is a mandatory requirement for DanteTM Networks.
1. Select System Power Saving 2. On Global Settings disable Cable Length
Detection/Link Status Detection and
press Apply
3. Select IEEE802.3az EEE settings and ensure that the feature is disabled on
the ports where Dante or VEO devices are connected
4. Select Save in the upper left corner and press Save Config button in order
to ensure that all changes are saved as current configuration in use.

23 CREATING VLANS FOR DANTETM, VIDEO OVER IP AND CONTROL COEXISTENCE
In AV system where DanteTM and Video over IP traffic are sharing the same
network switch, VLANs are highly recommended because Video over IP could
interfere with DanteTM in the same network.
A VLAN allows isolating the network traffic of a predefined group of ports; in
case of Audio and Video systems we need to create two VLANs: one for Audio and
one for Video. In this case, a device connected to the Audio VLAN can’t
communicate with a device connected to the Video VLAN. When a control device
(like a touch panel) is required, it needs to communicate both with Audio and
Video devices; in this case we need to use a particular feature called
Asymmetric VLAN that allows sharing traffic between different VLANs only on
predefined ports.
In the following example (Fig. 1) we have:
· MIMO4040DN matrix with DanteTM (Control on port 1; Dante on port 2) ·
WPNETTOUCH (Control on port 3) · DN404BOB (Dante/Control on port 5) · VEO-
XTI2L (Video/Control on port 15) · VEO-XRI2L (Video/Control on port 16) · VEO-
XRI2L (Video/Control on port 17)
38
We need to create 2 VLANs like follows:
1 Audio/Control VLAN (default): 2 Video/Control VLAN:
Ports 1-14 Ports 15-28
Fig. 1 5. Select VLAN802.1Q VLAN, enable Asymmetric VLAN and click on Apply
6. Click on 1 and mark as Untagged all the Audio/Control VLAN ports (1-14),
adding the Video/Control VLAN ports that need to share Control (16-17). Click
on the Apply button.
39
7. Create a second VLAN for Video/Control by clicking on Add button
8. Assign 2 as VID, and Video as Name to the new VLAN; mark as Untagged all
the Video/Control VLAN ports (15-28), adding the Audio/Control VLAN ports that
need to share Control traffic (1-3). Click on the Apply button.
9. Select Save in the upper left corner and press Save Config button in order
to ensure that all changes are saved as current configuration in use.
