MFS-8 Installed in the area with the Network
Distribution
Occasionally you get a retrofit installation where only one CAT5
wire has been run to a room, and there's no way to run another
one. In this case, locate the MFS-8 in the Utility Room, Garage, or
where ever the central distribution point for the Network is located,
and install standard network switches in rooms where you plan to
locate a DMS-1200, DMS-100 or SNP-1.
Notes:
n
The Wireless Access Point CANNOT be connected to the
MFS-8; it must be connected to the Router in the LAN.
n
Standard network switches are used to connect the DMS-
1200, DMS-100 and SNP-1 to the MFS-8. This configuration
provides MAC Filtering to the Total Control streaming compo-
nents, while freeing up additional ports on the MFS-8 to con-
nect devices like DMS-1200, DMS-100 and SNP-1.
n
An MRX-10 doesn't have to be connected to the MFS-8, but can
be connected to a standard network switch when convenient
to do so.
