Example 2 shows a scenario where non VLAN aware VoIP phone is
present. In this scenario, the copper port of the AT-2716 POE is
responsible for tagging the VoIP data with VLAN 2. This data is then sent
through the fiber port to the network backbone. Network data continues to
be tagged with VLAN 1 and is segmented from VoIP data.

Example 3 shows a scenario where a VLAN aware phone is present and
has VLAN tagging enabled. VoIP data is transmitted tagged with VLAN 2
between the phone and the copper port. The AT-2716POE passes this
data unchanged from the copper port through the fiber port to the network
backbone. Network data continues to be tagged with VLAN 1 and is
segmented from VoIP data.

Each AT-2716POE port is capable of transmitting and receiving tagged
or non-tagged packets giving the network administrator several options as
listed in Table 3.
