Introduction
The MFS-8 Network switch is the ideal "Plug-n-Play" solution to pro-
tect network WAPs (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
MFS-8 was specifically designed for use with Total Control Systems
and incorporates pre-configured MAC filtering. MAC Filtering com-
pletely 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 prod-
ucts 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 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 network
bandwidth.
Activity and Status LEDs plus Connectivity indicator.
Includes 12 volt power supply.

Power: Provides connection to included 12V Power Supply.
LAN Connection: Provides connection to the LAN (Local Area
Network).
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 correctly.
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 unswitched AC outlet.
5. Once powered up, the unit begins working in approximately 30
seconds.

MFS-8 NETWORK SWITCH INSTALLATION MANUAL
MFS-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 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-100 or SNP-1.
Notes:
nThe Wireless Access Point CANNOT be connected to the
MFS-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 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 devices like DMS-1200, DMS-100 and SNP-1.
nAn MRX-10 doesn't have to be connected to the MFS-8, but can
be connected to a standard network switch when convenient
to do so.
