Edit presets of the MA Network Switch

It is useful to apply presets to ports for a higher network performance or for safety reasons, e.g. to block Telnet.

A preset contains collection of filters. For more information about filter see the MA Network Switch manual.

Presets are used to allow or to block the selected output.

If a preset is set to allow (= green), the network packets matching the filters in the preset are allowed. All other network packets not matching the filters of this preset, will be blocked.
If a preset is set to block (= red), the network packets matching the filters in the presets are blocked. All other network packets not matching the filters of this preset, will be allowed.

Important:
Presets are applied in the outbound as well as in the inbound network traffic of the specific physical connector.

There are seven predefined presets available:

  • MA-Net2
  • dot2-Net
  • Art-Net
  • MA-Remote
  • MA-Net1
  • grandMA2
  • sACN

Requirement: Added MA Network Switch to the network configuration.
