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

A network switch selected for a single switch MoIP system with the BINARY B-900-MOIP-4K-TX must meet the following minimum requirements or support these features:

• 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 for the BINARY B-900-MOIP-4K-TX system, in addition to the single switch requirements, 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. This is not required, but highly recommended.

For optimal performance of the BINARY B-900-MOIP-4K-TX system, Araknis 210 Series and 310 Series PoE switches are recommended. The following models are suitable for single switch deployments:

When calculating the size of the switch needed for your BINARY B-900-MOIP-4K-TX system, 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 to use a switch with more Ethernet ports than immediately needed to allow for future expansion.

The MoIP Transmitters (TX) and Receivers (RX) can be powered by either Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) from a compatible switch or a separate 12V power supply (not included). Each TX and RX unit will 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 is critically important in multiple switch MoIP network configurations. 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 (uplink).

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

To calculate the required bandwidth for your BINARY B-900-MOIP-4K-TX system, use the following formula:

Number of MoIP Transmitters × 0.85 = Required Bandwidth in Gbps

For example, 10 MoIP transmitters would require 8.5 Gbps. The throughput of the uplink between switches must be able to accommodate this required bandwidth for the system to operate optimally. This often requires a multiple gigabit connection between switches.

IMPORTANT: The network switch should always be configured prior to connecting any MoIP Transmitters or Receivers.

1. Configure Network Switch

1. Factory default the MoIP switch. Press and hold the reset button for 10–15 seconds until the Status LED flashes once. This will reboot the switch and reset it to factory settings.

2. Connect the dedicated MoIP switch directly to your Main LAN switch.

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

2. Enable IGMP Snooping

In the switch’s web interface, navigate to ADVANCED > MULTICAST > IGMP SNOOPING and configure the 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

Navigate to SETTINGS > PORTS, then verify the Jumbo Frame setting is set to a value greater than 8,000 Bytes. The default value of 9216 is acceptable.

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

• Cable Type: CAT5e cabling is sufficient to support the MoIP system. However, for all networking installs, using shielded CAT5e, CAT6, CAT6A, or CAT7 is recommended to minimize potential interference from environmental factors.

• Termination: Each category cable should be terminated to the T-568B specification. The pinout for TIA/EIA Standard 568-B (with gold pins facing up) is as follows:
