IP Station - PC on AUX port

When a PC is connected to the AUX port of an IP Station, all data traffic to and from the PC goes via the IP station. When dowloading large amount of data to the PC one can experience choppy audio in the station, or in worst case the station might reset.

By default all traffic from the LAN port goes to both the CPU of the station, and to the AUX port. In the other direction the traffic from the AUX port goes to both the CPU and the LAN port. When downloading huge amount of data this might result in overload of the CPU.

By using the VLAN settings in the station, it is possible to route traffic from the AUX port directly to the LAN port.
