    NetworkHD 600 Series requires a 10Gb infrastructure rather than the typical 1Gb. This means that the WyreStorm recommended switches for 100/200 & 400 may not be common to the 600 Series and a separate list of recommendations exist.
  • Page 14: Required Network Switch Features

    Required Network Switch Features Switch Ports The WyreStorm NetworkHD family devices utilize twisted pair cable Ethernet standards. The Ethernet switch port connecting directly to a NetworkHD device therefore must support the following: NHD-000-CTL: 1Gb/s Full-duplex 1000Base-T IEEE 802.1ab NHD 100, 200 and 400 Series:...
