Page 30: Appendix D - Tips For Success When Networking Agility Units
NEED HELP? LEAVE THE TECH TO US LIVE 24/7 TECHNICAL SUPPORT 1.877.877.2269 APPENDIX D - Tips for success when networking Agility units Agility units use multiple strategies to minimize the amount of data that they send across networks. However, data overheads can be quite high, particularly when very high resolution video is being transferred, so it is important to take steps to maximize network efficiency and help minimize data output. - Page 31 NEED HELP? LEAVE THE TECH TO US LIVE 24/7 TECHNICAL SUPPORT 1.877.877.2269 THE RECOMMENDED LAYOUT The layout shown below has been found to provide the most efficient network layout for rapid throughput when using IGMP snooping: Note: From firmware version 3.1, tree and hierarchical structures of network switches are also supported. The Transmitter now joins its own multicast group so there is always a route from the querier to the transmitter which was previously missing in earlier firmware versions.

Page 32: Appendix E - Troubleshooting
NEED HELP? LEAVE THE TECH TO US LIVE 24/7 TECHNICAL SUPPORT 1.877.877.2269 APPENDIX E - Troubleshooting PROBLEM: THE VIDEO IMAGE OF THE AGILITY RECEIVER SHOWS HORIZONTAL LINES ACROSS THE SCREEN. This issue is known as Blinding because the resulting video image looks as though you’re viewing it through a venetian blind. When video is transmitted by Agility units, the various lines of each screen are divided up and transmitted as separate data packets. - Page 33 NEED HELP? LEAVE THE TECH TO US LIVE 24/7 TECHNICAL SUPPORT 1.877.877.2269 PROBLEM: THE MOUSE POINTER OF THE AGILITY RECEIVER IS SLOW OR SLUGGISH WHEN MOVED ACROSS THE SCREEN. This issue is often related to either using dithering on the video output of one or more transmitting computers or using video converters.

Page 34: Appendix F - Glossary
NEED HELP? LEAVE THE TECH TO US LIVE 24/7 TECHNICAL SUPPORT 1.877.877.2269 APPENDIX F - Glossary INTERNET GROUP MANAGEMENT PROTOCOL Where an Agility transmitter is required to stream video to two or more receivers, multicasting is the method used. Multicasting involves the delivery of identical data to multiple receivers simultaneously without the need to maintain individual links. When multicast data packets enter a subnet, the natural reaction of the switches that bind all the hosts together within the subnet, is to spread the multicast data to all of their ports. - Page 35 NEED HELP? LEAVE THE TECH TO US LIVE 24/7 TECHNICAL SUPPORT 1.877.877.2269 JUMBO FRAMES (JUMBO PACKETS) Since its commercial introduction in 1980, the Ethernet standard has been successfully extended and adapted to keep pace with the ever improving capabilities of computer systems. The achievable data rates, for instance, have risen in ten-fold leaps from the original 10Mbit/s to a current maximum of 100Gbit/s.
- Page 36 NEED HELP? LEAVE THE TECH TO US LIVE 24/7 TECHNICAL SUPPORT 1.877.877.2269 FORWARDING MODES In essence, the job of a layer 2 switch is to transfer as fast as possible, data packets arriving at one port out to another port as determined by the destination address.
