Network Switch Minimum Requirements
A network switch selected for a MoIP system must meet the requirements below or support
the following features:
Single Switch Deployments
• Layer 2 or Layer 3 Managed
• 1 Gigabit Ethernet Port Throughput (minimum)
• Simultaneous 7.5 Watts PoE across all ports (minimum)
• Multicast forwarding or filtering
• IGMP Snooping
• IGMP Querier
• Jumbo Frames (8000 bytes or larger)
• Also known as Jumbo Packets or Maximum Transmission Unit
multiple switch deployment
If a
• Dynamic Multicast Router Port
• Forwarding Unknown Multicast to Multicast Router Port Only
Number of Ports
Given the flexibility and scalability of Binary's B-900 Series Media over IP system, it is
recommended that a switch with more Ethernet ports than needed for the MoIP system be
used to allow quick addition of devices in the future. Utilizing an Araknis 210 Series 48-port
PoE switch, a MoIP system maximum size limit is 47 total MoIP Transmitters and MoIP
Receivers, unless you use SFP adapters for the switch uplink and MoIP Controller. Larger
systems utilizing other manufacturer's switch is possible in both single and multiple switch
deployments.
When calculating the size of switch needed, count one port for each the following devices:
• Number of sources (MoIP transmitters)
• Number of displays (MoIP receivers)
• MoIP controller
• LAN connection to main network for OvrC (if applicable)
Power
MoIP transmitters and MoIP receivers can be powered by
12V power supply (not
separate
replacement part only. Each transmitter and receiver utilize no more than 7.5 watt of power.
Snap AV recommends using PoE to power the MoIP transmitter and receiver units. The MoIP
controller is NOT powered by PoE and requires the use of the included 5V power supply.
