NETWORKING
This section details the networking requirements, recommendations and limitations when
configuring a Binary B-900 Series Media over IP system (MoIP) system, which can be used to
deploy MoIP on any compatible network switch. Included are steps to configure an Araknis 210
Series PoE and 310 Series PoE Layer 2 managed switch in a single switch MoIP deployment as
well as basic guidelines, requirements for single and multiple switch MoIP setups.
IMPORTANT:
Network switches directly connected to MoIP transmitters and MoIP receivers
should always be configured prior to connecting any of these components.

Multiple Switch Deployments
Araknis switches do NOT support multiple switch setups at this time.
In setups where MoIP
transmitters and receivers must be connected on multiple extended switches, multiple gigabit
uplinks between switches is required. Numerous network switch manufacturers offer switches
with multiple gigabit uplink/SFP ports to support multiple switch deployments.

SELECTING A NETWORK SWITCH
Network Switch Requirements
The Ethernet PoE switch selected is critical for the optimal performance of the MoIP system.
Araknis 210 Series and 310 Series PoE switches are recommended. Switch functionality,
capability and reliability can vary greatly from one manufacturer to the next. Configuration
varies by manufacturer. Refer to the manufacturers user manual to enable required features
to support MoIP. Some brands of switches may have limited support of required functions,
bandwidth across the entire switch, and necessary total PoE power to support all MoIP
transmitters and receivers.
