1. Introduction
The MA Network Switch is the perfect device for a full lighting control solution. The combination of console, switch
and networking devices provides the easiest solution even for complex lighting systems.
Designed to simplify the set-up and management of today’s lighting networks, the MA Network Switch is backed by
the industry leading MA technical support team. Standard lighting terminology is used allowing most common
lighting protocols to be filtered via a web interface designed specifically for lighting technicians. The tiered interface
also allows advanced functionality for experienced network engineers. The MA Network Switch provides a local
display for port status, applied filters and recognized MA equipment. Additionally it shows workload status of the
switch and every single port for easier fault finding.
The MA network switch is compliant with IEEE 802.3ab Gigabit Ethernet and can be seamless integrated into
existing Ethernet networking infrastructures. The ability to define port filtering with the common entertainment
protocols combined with standard Ethernet protocols like IGMP and RSTP allow the switch to perform best in fixed
installation as well as in temporary installations.
The MA Network Switch is housed in a typically robust 1RU chassis, with color coded filter and data indicators front
and rear. The front panel features a single etherCON port and display screen. The rear panel incorporates 8
etherCON ports and 2 SFP cages to suit mini-GBIC fiber connections. Additionally, the MA Network Switch can be
fitted with 2 optional heavy duty fiber connections for extended cable runs!
The following figure displays how a MA network with a MA Network Switch could look like in principle.

1.1. Intended Use
The MA Network Switch is intended to be operational right out of the box as a standard switch. In the default
configuration, it will forward packets between connecting devices after power up.
Every other use is not intended and could follow personal injury and damage to property.
MA Lighting does not cover damages which can result of a not intended use of the console.

If the device or the power cable is damaged, there is a risk of death by an electrical shock.
Follow the safety instructions to avoid the risks by electric current.
Do not use a damaged power cable.
Do not open screwed covers from the body housing.
Use the device only, if it is in a technical perfect condition.
A broken device can be repaired only by an authorized serviced personal. Do not repair the device by your own.
Do not make changes on the device, its components, and accessories.

3. First Steps
This chapter describes, how to prepare the MA Network Switch for usage.
3.1. Unpack the Device
Unpack the MA Network Switch. Remove all packing material, strips and protection films.
Keep the packing material for transport.
3.2. Install Mini-GBIC (SFP)
The MA Network Switch comes with up to four SFP cages. These cages accept mini-GBIC transceivers.
Two are at the rear panel, port 9 and 10. Two are inside the MA Switch.
To install mini-GBIC transceivers inside the switch at port 11 and port 12, call your local distributor.
Install mini-GBIC at port 9 and 10
1. Remove the mini-GBIC from its protective packaging.
Be aware of the insertion direction.
Port 9 must have the bail wire delatch on the top.
Port 10 must have the bail wire delatch at the bottom.
2. Install the mini-GBIC into the slot 9 or 10 at the rear panel, until the mini-GBIC clicks into place.
For detailed description of your mini-GBIC transceiver, refer to the transceiver manual.
Remove mini-GBIC from port 9 and 10
1. Open the ball wire delatch to disengage and remove the mini-GBIC transceiver.
2. Replace the protective plastic cover on the mini-GBIC.
The mini-GIBC is removed from the port.
3.3. Installation in a Rack

3.3. Installation in a Rack
The MA Network Switch is 1U high and will fit in most standard 19-inch racks.
1. Insert the switch into the 19-inch rack and secure with suitable screws.
Ensure the ventilation holes are not obstructed.
2. Connect the switch to the power supply.
3. Connect the cables.
The MA Network Switch is installed in a rack.
3.4. Connect the Hardware
Requirement:
Shielded twisted pair cable with RJ45 connector, min. Cat 5e
- or -
etherCON cable with Neutrik etherCON connector.
Connection with a PC
1. Plug in the power cable into the switch.
The switch starts booting.
2. Plug in a network cable into one of the Ethernet ports of the switch.
For the PC connection and for further configuration, you have to use a manage group port. We recommend
port 13 at the front.
3. Plug in the other end of the network cable into the Ethernet port on the PC.
A green or orange link LED on the switch indicates a successful connection.
The MA Network Switch is connected with the PC.
Connection with a grandMA2
1. Plug in the power cable into the switch.
The switch starts booting.
2. Plug in a network cable into one of the Ethernet ports of the switch.
3. Plug in the other end of the network cable into the Ethernet port 1 of the grandMA2 console.
A green or orange link LED on the switch indicates a successful connection.
The MA Network Switch is connected with the grandMA2.
3.5. Set the IP Address on the PC

3.5. Set the IP Address on the PC
The default IP address of the switch is a 192.168.100.xxx. It is displayed at the front end display.
The default subnet mask of the switch is 255.255.255.0.
This means your PC must be temporarily set to a compatible IP address.
1. Unplug the computer from the Local Area Network (LAN).
2. Go to the Control Panel on the computer.
3. Go to Network and Sharing Center and click on Change adapter settings.
4. Right-click the connection for your LAN, and then click Properties.
If you´re prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
