RECOMMENDATION: Prior to beginning the installation process for more complex networking topologies and Binary
MoIP; it is recommended to validate your specific use-case to minimize any issues related to your specific topology
before going on site to complete the installation.
GENERAL NETWORKING RESTRICTION: Each Binary MoIP Transmitter on the system can generate up to 500 Mbps
(0.5 Gbps). When deploying a Binary MoIP solution across multiple switches, the throughput/bandwidth of the uplink
between every switch on which MoIP devices are connect must support the bit rate for all transmitters in total. To
calculate the uplink bandwidth required multiple 0.5 Gbps per TX by the number of TX on the system whether they are
on the same switch or spread out across multiple switches.
For example, if sixteen (16) MoIP Transmitters are deployed on the network below, the uplinks between switches must
all support at least 8 Gbps (16 TX times 0.5 Gbps per TX). In this specific example, the SG550X has 10 Gbps uplink
capabilities to support this example.
NETWORK TOPOLOGY
TOPOLOGY SETUP
1. Document the MAC addresses for all switches top down, these will be needed in a later step.
3. Change the Master switch’s IP address to a number outside of your DHCP pool. This will aid the head switch in
being chosen as the multicast querier in a later step.
4. Verify the MAC address of the last slave switch and log in.
a. If the switches do not negotiate as in the diagram below, reboot the stack.
8. Verify Stack order via LEDs on front of switch
1. On the top right-hand side of the screen, change Display Mode: to Advanced
