• You should have a managed gigabit switch with 8K (or greater) jumbo-frame capability.
• This Setup Guide uses the Matrix Controller in Combined network mode. The Auto
Assign feature will be used to automatically congure all devices for use with the
Matrix Controller.
• The “discovery” feature, used by the Matrix Controller is reliant on a proprietary
network broadcast protocol that is used for identication. Broadcast packets and
access using ports 53334 and 53335 is required for this feature to work.
• The Gefen Video-over-IP product line is compatible with a wide variety of data
switches:
a. For simple installations, the Netgear GS724T / GS748T / GS748TPS (PoE
version) are low-cost 24-port or 48-port Gigabit Smart Switches that meet all of
the requirements. They have two SFP ports that can be equipped with ber SFP
modules for greater distances.
b. For cascaded or extended switch architecture, more than 1 Gigabit bandwidth
may be required between switches. For these situations, the Netgear PROSAFE
GS728TXS Gigabit Stackable Smart Switch offers four 10-Gigabit SFP uplink
ports for expanded bandwidth between switches.
c. Other Gigabit managed switches, such as the Cisco Small Business SG300 or
SG500X (“X” indicates 10G SFP uplink port) switches may also be used;
however, conguration will be up to the user
• In order to properly manage the video trafc, two default settings on the switches need
to be changed:
1. “Jumbo Frames” need to be enabled.
2. “IGMP Snooping” needs to be enabled.
To do this on the Netgear GS7xxT-series switches:
1. Login to the switch with a Web browser.
2. Under the “Switching” tab, select “Ports” and then “Port Conguration”.
3. Check the “All” checkbox, and set “Maximum Frame Size” to “9216”.
4. Click “Apply” to save the settings.
5. Still under “Switching”, select “Multicast”, “IGMP Snooping”, and then “IGMP
Snooping Conguration”.
6. Enable “IGMP Snooping Status”.
7. Disable “Validate IGMP IP Header”.
8. Click “Apply” to save the settings.
9. Go to “IGMP Snooping VLAN Conguration”.
10. Enter “1” under “VLAN ID”.
11. Enable “Fast Leave Admin Mode” and “Query Mode”.
12. Click “Apply” to save the settings.
