SWITCH SETTINGS & REQUIREMENTS
NetworkHD can be operated with any Layer 2 Gigabit Smart Switch provided the overall switching capacity or
backplane capacity of the switch meets the requirements of the number of transmitters/receivers you have on your
network.
Each NHD-IP-TX transmitter will produce up to 150Mb/s of data > therefore 10 x transmitters will require 10 x 150Mb/s
=
1.5 Gbps.
Attention
If you are unsure about the network requirements for your NetworkHD system please contact
WyreStorm or your local WyreStorm distribution partner for support.
WyreStorm are not liable if network bandwidth is to blame for poor performance from the NetworkHD
system.
NetworkHD does not require multiple VLANs to be configured. Third-party controllers communicate directly with the
NetworkHD NHD-IP-CTL rather the Ethernet switch.
