The Innuos PhoenixNet has one ethernet port labelled 'IN' and three ports labelled 'OUT''. You would normally connect the switch to the main network using the 'IN' port and the other ports would be used for your HiFi devices (music players, streamers etc).

I instead have the music player connected to the port labelled 'IN' on the switch (with the ENO filter inline). The (VLAN) network is connected to 'OUT 1'.

Network uplink -> PhoenixNet OUT1 port
Antipodes CX -> ENO -> PhoenixNet IN port

Of course, from the perspective of ethernet, the sockets will look identical (except for the different MAC addresses), the only real difference between the IN and OUT ports is likely to be in the filtering.

PS Editing this post to include a further observation (so as not to derail the purpose of the thread) - when the Antipodes is powered up, it seems to need to be plugged into the network without the ENO involved. At this point you can put the ENO back. I should emphasise I've only experienced this with the Innuos PhoenixNet, not other switches I own.
