The maximum number of simultaneous 'snoopable groups' the switch can
handle meets or exceeds the number of RCM/KE transmitters that will be
used to create Channel groups
Configuring Switches and RCM/KE Devices
Configuring the switch correctly will pass data more efficiently, allowing a
better stream across the network to each RCM/KE device. The following
settings will help optimize your network traffic through a switch:
Enable IGMP Snooping on L2 switches
Enable IGMP Querier on the L3 switch
Enable IGMP Fast-Leave on all switches where RCM/KE units are
directly connected
Enable Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) on all switches and enable Portfast
exclusively on switch ports that have RCM/KE units connected
Pick an appropriate forwarding mode on all switches. Use Cut-through if
available, or Store and Forward (see Recommended Network Switches
below)
RCM/KE Transmitter Settings:
Adjust the RCM/KE transmitter settings one at a time, in small intervals,
and view the images as you do, so that you can adjust to the positive or
negative results and achieve the best quality and bandwidth possible
If the quality of color is important, set the Color Depth to 24 bits and
manually adjust other settings until you are satisfied with the visual
appearance
If moving video images are shown frequently, increase the Video Quality
setting to the highest level and reduce the Bandwidth Limit and Color
Depth setting.
When images on the screen are more often static, increase the Background
Refresh and/or the Video Quality settings
Check that all RCM/KE units have been updated with the latest firmware
version
