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.
Visit wyrestorm.com for guides on detailed switch configuration and recommended switch suggestions for different
sized NetworkHD systems.
Navigate to the switches web browser configuration interface and follow these steps:
Enable Bridge Multicast Filtering Status in Multicast > Properties.
Enable IGMP Snooping Status in Multicast > IGMP Snooping.
In Multicast > IGMP Snooping select the VLAN NetworkHD is attached to and press Edit > Enable IGMP
Snooping Status, Enable IGMP Querier Status, Select IGMP Querier Version IGMPv2.
In Multicast > Forward All > Set to Forbidden any ports that have devices connected that are not NetworkHD
components, including PC’s and third party control systems.
Ensure that settings are saved to the boot configuration or else they will be lost when the switch is power cycled.
Navigate to the switches web browser configuration interface and follow these steps:
Navigate to Switching > Multicast Support > Unregistered Multicast > Edit and set Unregistered
multicast to Filtering.
Navigate to Switching > Multicast Support > Global Parameters and set both Bridge Multicast Filtering
and IGMP Snooping Status to Enable.
Navigate to Switching > Multicast Support > IGMP Snooping and set IGMP Snooping Status to Enable,
set IGMP Querier Status to Enable.
Navigate to Switching > Multicast Support > Unregistered Multicast > Summery and Select all - Press
Apply.
Ensure that settings are saved to the boot configuration or else they will be lost when the switch is power cycled.
