INTRODUCTION
This guide details the networking requirements, recommendations and limitations when
conguring 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 nd the simple steps to congure
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 congured prior to connecting any of these components.
RECOMMENDED NETWORK SWITCHES
Single Switch Deployments
Araknis Switch Model Ethernet
Ports (1 Gbps)
SFP Ports (1 Gbps) PoE Budget (Watts)
AN-210-SW-F-48-PoE 48 4 375
AN-210-SW-F/R-24-PoE 24 2 190
AN-210-SW-F/R-16-PoE 16 2 130
AN-210-SW-F/R-8-PoE 8 2 65
AN-310-SW-F/R-24-PoE 24 2 375
AN-310-SW-F/R-16-PoE 16 2 250
AN-310-SW-F/R-8-PoE 8 2 130
Multiple Switch Deployments
Araknis switches do NOT support multiple switch setups at this time. 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. Conguration
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.
