Just got my QU32. We’re a school network, and have different VLANS for staff and students, but would like both to be able to see the desk.
What ports does it use, or what protocols so we can get the traffic across VLANS?

Ports/Protocols are Layer 3, VLANs (normally) operate on Layer 2 of the OSI model. To integrate the Qu into a VLAN you’ll need the mac address of your unit resp. the switch port where it is connected to your infrastructure, and setup the switch accordingly.
To finally route the traffic between VLANs you need the ports, correct.
Thought there is a paper available describing the Qu MIDI Protocol which also specifies the ports to use (TCP port 51325). But that’s V1.5 and not focusing the QuPad/QuYou protocol, which are not documented at all. So maybe you need to sniff…
I’d suggest that a NAT between might be a plausible solution - a proper NAT, with several “staff side” IP adresses to allocated to sequential connections.
