Gigabit DHCP Router (sys
tems with >1 APT)
For systems with more than one APT, a DHCP router is recommended to connect equip
ment. Ensure that it meets the following requirements:
Gigabit ports
Provides Class 0 PoE with at least 6.5W (for powering the MXWAPT)
Quality of Service (QoS) with 4 queues
Diffserv (DSCP) QoS, with strict priority
If the router features Energy Efficient Ethernet (or Green Ethernet), ensure it is disabled
from the ports dedicated for the MXW system.
Recommended: A managed switch to provide detailed information about the operation
of each network link: port speed, error counters, bandwidth used, etc.
Connecting MXW Components
MXW components are connected using Ethernet cables and a switch. For a small system with a single access point, the MXW
Audio Network Interface functions as the switch. For systems with more than one access point, an additional gigabit switch is
required for connecting all the components together.
Requirements:
Use shielded Cat 5e (or higher) Ethernet cables. Limit cable runs to ≤100 m between devices.
Use Gigabit networking equipment between network audio devices (required for systems with >1 access point).
Ensure MXW components are on the same firmware version.
Ensure MXW components and the PC are on the same network and set to the same subnet.
Single Group System (1 Access Point)
When the system is limited to a single group (up to eight channels), use the MXW Audio Network Interface four-port switch for
connecting MXW components. Connect the computer, access point and up to two chargers to the MXW interface according to
the table and diagram:
Audio Network Interface Port To Component
① Port 1 (PoE) Access Point Transceiver (APT)
② Port 2 Networked Charging Station (NCS)
③ Port 3 (Optional) Additional NCS
④ Port 4* Computer
