Introduction
The MFSPOE-8 Network switch is the ideal "Plug-n-Play" solution to
supply power to Total Control Keypads and IP Cameras, while pro-
tecting network WAP's (Wireless Access Points) from multicast audio
streams.
Total Control products, like the DMS-1200 (Multi-zone Amplifier),
DMS-100 (Single-Zone Amplifier) and the SNP-1 (Streaming Network
Player), all multicast audio streams onto the LAN. The nature of a
"multicast" will shut down all wireless access to the network.
The MFSPOE-8 was specifically designed for use with Total Control
Systems and incorporates pre-configured MAC filtering. MAC Filtering
completely solves the issue by confining multicast streams to the
switch itself, never allowing streams to affect network traffic in the
rest of the house. Pre-configuration means you don't have to be a
Network Engineer to configure this switch, simply plug your Total
Control products into any port and you're ready to go. "Plug-n-Play"
integration produces reliable, predictable network performance.
Warning: NEVER plug a WAP (Wireless Access Point) into the
MFSPOE-8, since URC multicast audio streams will shut down any
brand or model of WAP.
There's no need to worry about accidentally damaging any Non-PoE
gear with the MFSPOE-8, it will never happen. Eight "Smart" 10/100
PoE (Power over Ethernet) auto-sensing ports determine if connected
devices are PoE compliant or just standard network devices, and
then apply the correct voltages. This greatly simplifies every installa-
tion by eliminating the need to run more wires, add separate power
supplies (PoE Injectors) and additional AC power strips.
