6.2 Installation Procedure

Note that the examples below assume that the Ethernet Switch used does not support WiFi, and a Router with WiFi capability is required in order to communicate with smartphones and tablets for control purposes.

Setting the Ethernet Switch & Router to the same Subnet as MuxLab Devices:

The Muximis Network Controller comes with two Ethernet ports. LAN 1 is configured with a static IP address which is 192.168.168.51. LAN 1 port should be connected in to the same network switch where all the Muxlab equipment is connected. Note that LAN 2 port is configured as a DHCP client, and can be utilized for control purpose. The MuxLab AV over IP Transmitters and Receivers are set to support DHCP by default. When no DHCP server is available the AV over IP Transmitters and Receivers fallback to a static IP address of:

94-001024-A/SE-001024-A

Muximus Network Controller
192.168.168.53 (for the 500817) 192.168.168.54 (for the 500816-IP) 192.168.168.55 (for the 500752, 500753, 500754, 500755, 500755-AMP and 500756 Transmitters) 192.168.168.56 (for the 500752, 500753, 500754, 500755, 500755-AMP and 500756 Receivers) 192.168.168.58 (for the 500758, 500759, 500770, 500771, 500773 and 500777 Transmitters) 192.168.168.59 (for the 500758, 500759, 500770, 500771 and 500777 Receivers) 192.168.168.62 (for both the 500762 and 500763 Transmitters) 192.168.168.63 (for the 500762 Receiver) 192.168.168.85 (for the 500768 Transmitter) 192.168.168.86 (for the 500768 Receiver) 192.168.168.32 (for the 500778 Transmitter) 192.168.168.33 (for the 500778 Receiver) Auto IP (for the 500760 and 500761 Transmitters and Receivers) No Static IP (for the 500757 Transmitter and Receiver)
These MuxLab products (Muximus Network Controller, and the AV over IP Transmitters & Receivers) work in conjunction with a PoE (PSE) Ethernet Switch (MuxLab recommends the Cisco CBS350 and Netgear M4250 Series) and a Router of your choice with WiFi capability to be able to communicate with a smartphone or tablet. The use of a smartphone or tablet to manage the MuxLab devices with third party software applications is optional and is a common method of control; however MuxLab devices may also be managed via the Muximus Network Controller web interface. In order for the DHCP server within the Ethernet Switch to support the MuxLab device subnet, set the static IP of the Ethernet Switch to 192.168.168.1 (recommended setting). Refer to the Ethernet Switch manual for instructions on how to accomplish this. The Router with WiFi capability, must also be placed on the same subnet as the MuxLab devices and it should be set with a Static IP address, we recommend using a Static IP address of 192.168.168.2. Refer to your Router documentation on how to accomplish this.
Setting MuxLab Devices, Ethernet Switch and Router to an Existing Subnet:
If the MuxLab AV over IP devices are being installed in an existing environment that has a working subnet already configured that cannot be easily changed, then the subnet of the MuxLab devices, the Ethernet Switch (if a new Ethernet Switch is required), and the Router with Wifi (if a new Router is required) must be changed in order to match the existing subnet. For this case we will use 192.168.2.x as an example subnet already in place and which must be supported. Note that this is only an example and may not necessarily reflect your actual subnet address.

94-001024-A/SE-001024-A

Muximus Network Controller
If the Ethernet Switch does not already reside in the example subnet of 192.168.2.x, then set the static IP of the Ethernet Switch to a free static IP address (for the sake of this example we will use an IP address of 192.168.2.1). Refer to the Ethernet Switch manual for instructions on how to accomplish this. MuxLab also has a guide specific to the Cisco CBS350 and Netgear M4250 Series, see documents which can be found on MuxLab's website under any of the AV over IP product pages (as a download under the Operation Manual sub-category).
If the Router with WiFi does not already reside in the example subnet of 192.168.2.x, then set the static IP of the Router to a free static IP address (for the sake of this example we will use an IP address of 192.168.2.2). Refer to your Router documentation on how to accomplish this.
The MuxLab AV over IP Transmitters and Receivers are set by default to support DHCP, and will automatically be set to the subnet specified by the DHCP Server. These units need only be physically connected into the network as described in their respective Installation Guides and by using the 500813 Muximus Network Controller to discover them. But before the MNC can be used, the new MNC subnet must also be set.
To change the subnet of the Muximus Network Controller requires a two-step process:
Process 1: Configuring the IP address of the Muximus Network Controller Process 2: Physically installing the Muximus Network Controller in the network
Note: · An example subnet address of 192.168.2.x of the existing network on which the Muximus
Network Controller will be installed is assumed for this example process. · The Muximus Network Controller LAN 1 port comes with a static IP address of 192.168.168.51
and with DHCP disabled. This process explains how to change it to the example subnet of 192.168.2.x.
Process 1: Configuring the IP address of the Muximus Network Controller
Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2.
1. On the back panel of the MNC:
a. Plug the supplied power adaptor into the DC power jack. Ensure that the other end of the power adaptor is plugged into a power socket.
b. Ensure that the power switch on the front of the unit is ON position (front button · pressed in).
c. Connect one end of an Ethernet cable to the LAN 1 Ethernet port. Ensure that the other end of the Ethernet cable is connected to a computer.
