2.3.1. Preparing the Network

For the correct installation build a Local Area Network with a
Layer 3 (L3) type switch (highly recommended). However, Unicast
moderequiresonlyLayer2(L2)switch.Inbothcasestheswitchmust
support the Multicast routing.
ATTENTION!
VINX Encoder and Decoder send certain system
commands over multicast packages. If the multicast routing is
disabled on the network, the signal transmission may fail.
Layer 2 vs. Layer 3 Switch
The VINX Encoders and Decoders use multicast routing. The managed
switch in the network shall offer the following capabilities:
IGMPv2
▪
IGMP snooping
▪
▪ IGMP fast leave
▪ IGMPQuerier
Multicastfiltering
▪
▪ 9kMTU-Jumbo/Giantframes
These features are supported by the Layer 3 type switches. Please
see more technical information about the network requirements in the
Firmware Release Notes section.
