MFS-8 Installation Considerations
Only one MAC Filtering switch should be used in a typical Total
Control system. All streaming products like the DMS-1200, DMS-
100 and SNP-1 must be connected to the switch.
You cannot daisy-chain MFS-8 MAC Filtering switches; communica-
tion between switches will be blocked. If you have more than eight
of the above streaming components, simply connect a standard net-
work switch to any port on the MFS-8 and then connect the addi-
tional components to the standard switch. This allows the additional
components to benefit from the MFS-8's MAC Filtering, without
affecting communication between devices.
Warning: NEVER plug a WAP (Wireless Access Point) into the MFS-8,
it will not function correctly.
Installation
1. On the back of the MFS-8, connect one end of a CAT5 cable to
the port labeled
LAN 10/100
.
2. Connect the other end of the CAT5 cable to the LAN (Local Area Network).
3. Connect Total Control and standard network devices to any of
the eight
10/100 Smart Ports
.
4. Connect the supplied 12V Power Supply to the MFS-8 and then
plug it into an
unswitched AC
outlet.
5. Once powered up, the unit begins working in approximately 30
seconds.
