MFS-8 NETWORKSWITCHINSTALLATIONMANUAL
Introduction
The MFS-8 Network switch is the ideal "Plug-n-Play" solution to protect network WAP's (Wireless Access Points) from multicast audio
streams.
Total Control products, like the DMS-1200 (Digital Multi-zone
Amplifier), DMS-100 (Digital Single-Zone Digital Amplifier) and the
SNP-1 (Streaming Network Player), all multicast audio streams onto
the LAN. The nature of a "multicast" will shut down all wireless
access to the network. The MFS-8 was specifically designed for use
with Total Control Systems and incorporates pre-configured MAC
filtering. MAC Filtering completely solves the issue by confining
multicast streams to the switch itself, never allowing streams to
affect network traffic in the rest of the house. Pre-configuration
means you don't have to be a Network Engineer to configure this
switch, simply plug your Total Control products into any port and
you're ready to go. "Plug-n-Play" integration produces reliable, pre
dictable network performance.
Warning: NEVER plug a WAP (Wireless Access Point) into the MFS8, since URC multicast audio streams will shut down any brand or
model of WAP.
Features
Eight (8) ports plus one LAN port.
Mac filtering prevents audio streams from consuming net-
work bandwidth.
Activity and Status LEDs plus Connectivity indicator.
Includes 12 volt power supply.
