MFS-8 NETWORKSWITCHINSTALLATIONMANUAL
Introduction
The MFS-8 Network switch is the ideal "Plug-n-Play" solution to pro-
tect 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 MFS-
8, 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.

10/100 Ports: 8 - 10/100 Ports provide network connectivity to Total
Control streaming products like the DMS-1200, DMS-100 and SNP-
1.
MAC Filtering: MAC Filtering prevents audio and video streams
from consuming network bandwidth. Streams are confined to the
switch, optimizing local area network performance.
Network Connectivity and Activity Status Indicators (port specific):
Status indicator LEDs display network connectivity, and network
traffic feedback, for easy troubleshooting.
Wall Mount Bracket: Convenient removable wall bracket allows the
MFS-8 to be mounted to the back of a cabinet or rack. Remove the
wall bracket when placing the MFS-8 on a shelf or stand.

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 correctlyInstallation
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 unswitchedAC outlet.
5. Once powered up, the unit begins working in approximately 30
seconds.

MFS-8 Installed in the area with the
NetworkDistribution
Occasionally you get a retrofit installation where only one CAT5
wire has been run to a room, and there's no way to run another
one. In this case, locate the MFS-8 in the Utility Room, Garage, or
where ever the central distribution point for the Network is located,
and install standard network switches in rooms where you plan to
locate a DMS-1200, DMS-1200 or SNP-1.
Notes:
The Wireless Access Point CANNOT be connected to the
MFS-8; it must be connected to the Router in the LAN.
Standard network switches are used to connect the DMS-
1200, DMS-100 and SNP-1 to the MFS-8. This configuration
provides MAC Filtering to the Total Control streaming compo-
nents, while freeing up additional ports on the MFS-8 to con-
nect PoE devices like Keypads and IP Cameras.
A MRX-10 doesn't have to be connected to the MFS-8, but can
be connected to a MFS-8 when convenient to do so.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Do I need to use a MFS-8 in a Total Control system?
If you are only controlling a Home Theater with a MRX-10, and
there are no Total Control streaming sources like the DMS-1200 or
DMS-100 in the system, then the answer is NO, you do not need to
use a MFS-8. If you have DMS-1200(s) or DMS-100(s) in the sys-
tem, then the answer is YES, you must use a MFS-8 in the system,
connected to those components.
2. Can I connect both PoE (Power over Ethernet) devices like KP-
4000 keypads and Non-PoE devices to the MFS-8?
No, the MFS-8 is not a PoE switch. You may use the MFS-8 to
power Keypads and IP Cameras.
3. What if I have more than eight streaming devices?
You can connect a standard network switch to the MFS-8 to expand
the MAC Filtering capabilities of the MFS-8.
4. Can I connect a WAP (Wireless Access Point) to the MFS-8?
No, the WAP will not function properly when multiple streams are
occurring in the system. Connect the WAP to a standard PoE net-
work switch, outside of the MFS-8. Never connect a WAP to the
MFS-8.
5. I have one CAT5 cable going to a room where my client has a
network printer and a PC and I need to install a DMS-100 Single
Zone Amplifier, via the same CAT5 cable, in the room. How do I
connect everything?
In the room where you plan to install the DMS-100, connect a stan-
dard network switch to the incoming CAT5, and then connect the
DMS-100, PC and Printer to the switch. It is not recommended to
connect PC's used for internet gaming to a MFS-8, as this may
affect the performance of video gaming during heavy stream usage.
