MFS-8 NETWORK SWITCH INSTALLATION MANUAL Introduction The MFS-8 Network switch is the ideal "Plug-n-Play" solution to protect 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.

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.
MFS-8 NETWORK SWITCH INSTALLATION MANUAL 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 system, then the answer is YES, you must use a MFS-8 in the system, connected to those components. 2.
