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 ltering
• 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 exibility 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.
