configuring a Binary B-900 Series Media over IP system (MoIP) system which can be used to deploy MoIP on any compatible network switch. Also, you will find the simple steps to configure an Araknis 210 Series PoE and 310 Series PoE Layer 2 managed switch in a single switch MoIP deployment as well as basic guidelines, requirements for single and multiple switch MoIP setups. IMPORTANT: Network switches directly connected to MoIP Transmitters and MoIP Receivers should always be configured prior to connecting any of these components.

SnapAV does not recommend a particular switch as an alternative to Araknis. In setups where MoIP transmitters and MoIP receivers must be connected on multiple extended switches, multiple gigabit uplinks between switches is required. Numerous network switch manufacturers offer switches with multiple gigabit uplink/SFP ports to support multiple switch deployments. SELECTING A NETWORK SWITCH Network Switch Requirements The Ethernet PoE switch selected is critical for the optimal performance of the MoIP system. Araknis 210 Series and 310 Series PoE switches are recommended. Switch functionality, capability and reliability can vary greatly from one manufacturer to the next. Configuration will vary by manufacturer. Refer to the manufacturers user manual to enable required features to support MoIP. Some brands of switches may have limited support of required functions, bandwidth across the entire switch, and necessary total PoE power to support all MoIP Transmitters and Receivers.

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 • IGMP Snooping Fast Leave • Also known as Instant Leave or Immediate Leave • Jumbo Frames (8000 bytes or larger) • Also known as Jumbo Packets or Maximum Transmission Unit If a multiple switch deployment is required, the switches must also support: • Dynamic Multicast Router Port • Forwarding Unknown Multicast to Multicast Router Port Only Note: It is highly recommended that the above features be applied to all network switches on the same LAN as MoIP as a best practice. This is not required; however, highly recommended. 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. 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: 1. Number of sources (MoIP Transmitters) 2. Number of displays (MoIP Receivers) 3. MoIP Controller 4. LAN connection to main network for OvrC (if applicable) Power The MoIP Transmitters and MoIP Receivers can be powered by Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) or a separate 12V power supply (not included). The separate power supply is available only as a replacement part only. TX and RX will each utilize no more than 7.5 watt of power. Snap AV recommends using PoE to power the MoIP TX and RX units. The MoIP Controller is NOT powered by PoE and requires the use of the included 12V power supply.

Single switch MoIP network configurations are supported by Araknis 210 PoE and 310 PoE Series switches. Integrators familiar with the above requirements and the configuration of stackable and cascaded switches with multi-gigabit uplinks will be able to create very large MoIP deployments.

Bandwidth considerations are critically important. The maximum number of MoIP Transmitters which can be supported by a given network topology is limited by the lowest bandwidth link in the network. Typically, this will be the link between switches. MoIP Receivers
