Installation
Additional Equipment
Network Cables
Use shielded Cat5e (or higher) Ethernet cables, limiting cable runs to 100 meters maximum between network devices.
Audio Cables
Reference the hardware kit user guide supplied with the MXW Audio Network Interface to assemble audio cables to the
connectors.
Gigabit DHCP Router (systems with >1 APT)
For systems with more than one APT, a DHCP router is recommended to connect equipment. 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.
