FSPOE-8 NETWORK SWITCH INSTALLATION ANUAL
Introduction
The MFSPOE-8 Network switch is the ideal “Plug-n-Play” solution to
supply power to Total Control Keypads and IP Cameras, while pro-
tecting network WAP’s (Wireless Access Points) from multicast audio
streams.
Total Control products, like the DMS-1200 (Multi-zone Amplifier),
DMS-100 (Single-Zone 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 MFSPOE-8 was specifically designed for use with Total Control
Systems and incorporates pre-configured AC 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, predictable network performance.
Warning: NEVER plug a WAP (Wireless Access Point)into the
FSPOE-8, since URC multicast audio streams will shut down any
brand or model of WAP.
There’s no need to worry about accidentally damaging any Non-PoE
gear with the MFSPOE-8, it will never happen. Eight “Smart” 10/100
PoE (Power over Ethernet) auto-sensing ports determine if connected
devices are PoE compliant or just standard network devices, and
then apply the correct voltages. This greatly simplifies every installa-
tion by eliminating the need to run more wires, add separate power
supplies (PoE Injectors) and additional AC power strips.

PoE 10/100 Smart Ports: 8 - PoE 10/100 Smart Ports automatically
provide power and connection to compliant PoE devices like
Keypads and IP Cameras, while simultaneously providing a safe,
non-powered connection to standard Ethernet devices.
AC Filtering: MAC Filtering prevents multicast audio 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 traf-
fic feedback, for easy troubleshooting.
Wall ount Bracket: Convenient removable wall bracket allows the
MFSPOE-8 to be mounted to the back of a cabinet or rack. Remove
the wall bracket when placing the MFSPOE-8 on a shelf or stand.

FSPOE-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. Other Total
Control devices that don’t stream (like the MRX-10 or the MRX-1)
don’t have to be connected to the MFSPOE-8.
You cannot daisy-chain MFSPOE-8 MAC Filtering switches; commu-
nication between switches will be blocked. If you have more than
eight of the above streaming components, simply connect a stan-
dard network switch to any port on the MFSPOE-8 and then con-
nect the additional components to the standard switch. This allows
the additional components to benefit from the MFSPOE-8’s MAC
Filtering, without affecting communication between devices. If you
need more PoE ports, you can plug any standard PoE network
switch into any of the available ports, to expand the network.

Installation
1. On the back of the MFSPOE-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 PoE 10/100 Smart Ports.
4. Connect the supplied 48V Power Supply to the MFSPOE-8 and
then plug it into an unswitched AC outlet.
5. Once powered up, the unit begins working in approximately 30
seconds.

FSPOE-8 Installed in the area with the Network
Distribution
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 MFSPOE-8 in the Utility Room, Garage,
or wherever 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-100 or SNP-1.
Notes:
nThe Wireless Access Point CANNO be connected to the
MFSPOE-8; it must be connected to the Router in the LAN.
nStandard network switches are used to connect the DMS-
1200, DMS-100 and SNP-1 to the MFSPOE-8. This configu-
ration provides MAC Filtering to the Total Control streaming
components, while freeing up additional ports on the
MFSPOE-8 to connect PoE devices like Keypads and IP

but can be connected to a standard network switch when
convenient to do so.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to use a FSPOE-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 MFSPOE-8. If you have DMS-1200(s) or DMS-100(s) in the
system, then the answer is YES, you must use a MFSPOE-8 or MFS-
8 in the system, connected to the those components.
Can I connect both PoE (Power over Ethernet)devices and Non-
PoE devices to the FSPOE-8?
Yes, the MFSPOE-8 incorporates Smart Port technology which auto-
matically determines whether a connected device is a PoE device,
or a standard device, and only applies voltage to PoE devices. All
standard (Non-PoE) network devices can safely be connected to the
MFSPOE-8.
What if I have more than eight devices that are PoE?
You can connect a standard PoE switch anywhere on the LAN to
expand the network.
Can I use the FSPOE-8 to power a PoE WAP (Wireless Access
Point)?
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 MFSPOE-8. Never connect a WAP to
the MFSPOE-8.
What if I have a large Total Control system? Should I use the
FSPOE-8?
If you have a large Total Control system with multiple DMS-1200s,
DMS-100s, SNP-1s, Keypads and IP Cameras, the better solution is
to use a MFS-8 (the Non-PoE version of the MAC Filtering switch) to
connect all the streaming products and use conventional PoE
switches to power all the Keypads and IP Cameras. See the Large
System diagram in the MFS-8 User Guide for more details.
I have one CAT5 cable going to a room where my client has a net-
work printer and a PC and I need to install a D S-100 Single
Zone Amplifier, via the same CAT5 cable, in the room. How do I
connect everything?
Page 9
FSPOE-8 NETWORK SWITCH INSTALLATION ANUAL
Install the MFSPOE-8 in the room that contains the CAT5 distribu-
tion for the entire house. In the room where you plan to install the
DMS-100, connect a standard network switch to the incoming
CAT5, and then connect the DMS-100, PC and Printer to the
switch. It is not recommended to connect PCs used for internet
gaming to a MFSPOE-8, as this may affect the performance of video
gaming during heavy stream usage.
