A network profile template integrates NETGEAR proprietary settings, allowing you to optimize specific audio and video environments for your M4250. You can use a preconfigured profile template to create one or multiple network profiles. For example, you might use the same profile template to set up three network profiles based on a location within a building: one network profile for the lobby, one for the theater, and one for the patio.
The M4250 switch provides the following preconfigured network profile templates:
- Audio AES67: Use this template to connect the switch to AES67 audio devices and their controller.
- Audio Dante: Use this template to connect the switch to Dante audio devices and their controller.
- Audio Q-SYS: Use this template to connect the switch to Q-SYS audio devices and their controller.
- Data: Use this template to connect the switch to PCs and other control network devices.
- Lighting: Use this template to connect the switch to sACN, Art-Net, and MANet lighting devices.
- Shure Converged Audio and Control Network: Use this template to connect the switch to Shure devices that require audio and control traffic to use a single VLAN. Compatible Shure devices include the MXA series, MXN series, Intellimix P300, and AniusB-Matrix devices. Compatible devices from other manufacturers include Dante, AES67, Q-SYS, and Biamp Dante devices.
- Shure Split Audio and Control Network: Use this template to connect the switch to Shure devices that require audio and control traffic to use separate VLANs. Compatible Shure devices include the MXA series, MXN series, Intellimix P300, and AniusB-Matrix devices. Compatible devices from other manufacturers include Dante, AES67, Q-SYS, and Biamp Dante devices.
- Video: Use this template to connect the switch to IP Video devices and their controller. Audio can be sent and received using another template in another VLAN at the same time. Supported devices include NVX, AMX, ZeeVee, Aurora, Kramer, Atlona, LibAV, Visionary, Dante Video, SDVoE, and other devices.
- Video NDI4: Use this template to connect the switch to NDI Version 4 (mTCP) video devices and cameras.
- Video NDI5 with Dante, Q-SYS, or AES67 audio: Use this template to connect the switch to NDI Version 5 (RUDP) video devices and cameras. Audio Dante, Audio Q-SYS, and Audio AES67 templates can be used at the same time in the same VLAN.
- Video with AES67 audio: Use this template to connect the switch to IP Video devices and their controller. The Audio AES67 template can be used at the same time in the same VLAN. Supported devices include NVX, AMX, ZeeVee, Aurora, Kramer, Atlona, LibAV, Visionary, Dante Video, SDVoE, and other devices.
- Video with Dante audio: Use this template to connect the switch to IP Video devices and their controller. The Audio Dante template can be used at the same time in the same VLAN. Supported devices include NVX, AMX, ZeeVee, Aurora, Kramer, Atlona, LibAV, Visionary, Dante Video, SDVoE, and other devices.
- Video with Q-SYS audio: Use this template to connect the switch to IP Video devices and their controller. The Audio Q-SYS template can be used at the same time in the same VLAN. Supported devices include NVX, AMX, ZeeVee, Aurora, Kramer, Atlona, LibAV, Visionary, Dante Video, SDVoE, and other devices.
