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 MuxLab Pro Digital Network Controller comes with a default static IP address of
192.168.168.50 (with DHCP disabled). 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
192.168.168.55 (for the 500752, 500753, 500754 and 500756 Transmitters) and
192.168.168.56 (for the 500752, 500753, 500754 and 500756 Receivers), and
192.168.168.58 (for the 500758 and 500759 Transmitters) and 192.168.168.59 (for the
500758 and 500759 Receivers).
These MuxLab products (MNC, and the AV over IP Transmitters & Receivers) work
in conjunction with a PoE (PSE) Ethernet Switch (MuxLab recommends the Cisco
SG300 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 but is
the most common method of control and generally preferred, however MuxLab
devices may also be managed via the Pro Digital 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. MuxLab also has a guide specific to the Cisco SG300 Series, see document SE-
000819-A (Configuring Network Setting of the Ethernet Switch & MuxLab AV over

IP Devices), 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).
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.
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 SG300 Series, see document SE-000819-A (Configuring Network Setting
of the Ethernet Switch & MuxLab AV over IP Devices), 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 500811 Pro Digital 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 MNC requires a two-step process:
Process 1: Configuring the IP address of the MNC
Process 2: Physically installing the MNC in the network
Note:
• An example subnet address of 192.168.2.x of the existing network on which the MNC will
be installed is assumed for this example process.
