BINARY B-900-MOIP-4K-RX (01) PDF Document

The following Araknis switches are recommended for single switch deployments with the BINARY B-900-MOIP-4K-RX system.

IMPORTANT: Network switches directly connected to MoIP Transmitters and MoIP Receivers should always be configured prior to connecting any of these components.

A network switch selected for a MoIP system with the BINARY B-900-MOIP-4K-RX must meet the following minimum requirements for 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 filtering

• IGMP Snooping

• IGMP Querier

• 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 these features be applied to all network switches on the same LAN as the MoIP system as a best practice.

When calculating the size of the switch needed for your BINARY B-900-MOIP-4K-RX system, you should count one port for each of 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)

It is recommended that a switch with more Ethernet ports than needed be used to allow for quick addition of devices in the future.

The MoIP Transmitters and BINARY B-900-MOIP-4K-RX Receivers can be powered by Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) or a separate 12V power supply (not included). The TX and RX units will each utilize no more than 7.5 watts of power. Using PoE to power the MoIP TX and RX units is recommended. The MoIP Controller is NOT powered by PoE and requires the use of the included 12V power supply.

Bandwidth considerations are critically important in multiple switch deployments. The maximum number of MoIP Transmitters that can be supported is limited by the lowest bandwidth link in the network, which is typically the link between switches.

Each MoIP Transmitter will consume 250-850 Mbps (4K) or 150-750 Mbps (1080p) of the available bandwidth.

To calculate the required bandwidth needed to support the desired number of MoIP Transmitters, multiply the number of MoIP Transmitters by 0.85. This will give you the bandwidth in Gbps. For example, 10 MoIP transmitters would require 8.5 Gbps. The throughput of the uplink between switches must accommodate this for the system to operate optimally.

1. Configure Network Switch

1. Factory default the MoIP switch that will be used for all MoIP components. This is not necessary for new switches. Press and hold the reset button for 10-15 seconds until the Status LED flashes once. The switch will reboot and reset to factory settings.

2. Connect the dedicated MoIP switch directly to your Main LAN switch. The Main LAN switch is the main network switch into which all other switches and network devices are connected.

3. Access the local interface of the MoIP Switch. The default login credentials for an Araknis switch are araknis / araknis, and the default IP address is 192.168.20.254.

2. Enable IGMP Snooping

Choose ADVANCED > MULTICAST > IGMP SNOOPING, then check options as follows:

1. Status: Enabled

2. Version: V2

3. Report Suppression: Enabled

4. Unregistered IPMC Forward Action: Drop

5. IGMP Snooping Status: Enabled

6. Fast Leave: Disabled

7. Querier State: Enabled

8. Querier Version: V2

9. Router Settings > Router Ports Auto-Learned: Enabled

Click Apply to save these settings.

3. Verify Jumbo Frame

Choose SETTINGS > PORTS, then verify Jumbo Frame is set to greater than 8,000 Bytes. The default value is 9216; the maximum is acceptable.

• Each transmitter and receiver can be connected to the MoIP switch with up to 328ft / 100m of category cable.

• CAT5e cabling is sufficient to support the MoIP system; however, with all networking installs, utilizing shielded CAT5e, CAT6, CAT6A or CAT7 is recommended to minimize potential for interference from environmental factors.

• Each category cable should be terminated to the T-568B specification. TIA/EIA Standard 568-B (Gold Pins Facing Up) has the following pinout:

Pin 1: White/Orange

Pin 2: Orange

Pin 3: White/Green

Pin 4: Blue

Pin 5: White/Blue

Pin 6: Green

Pin 7: White/Brown

Pin 8: Brown
