CABLE REQUIREMENTS

7.1 REQUIREMENTS FOR CAT5E/6/7 CABLES
A Cat5e/6/7 cable should meet the following requirements:

• The pins are connected 1:1. Caution: the cable pairs must be twisted to EIA/TIA- 568A (rare) or EIA/TIA-568 B (common) pairs.
• Erroneous assignments cannot be found with a simple cable tester.
• The pins for the green pair of wires are not adjacent to one other.
• The cable must at the very least meet the CAT5 specifications and be suitable for Gigabit transmission.
• The cable should meet one of the following standards: Class D ISO/IEC 11801:2002 or EN 50173-1:2002. Schema EIA/TIA-568 B.
• Only use shielded installation cable with min. cross section of 24 AWG throughout the length.
• The shield should be contiguous and connected to both ends. A shielded patch cable is allowed for connection to the device.

Schema EIA/TIA-568 B

REQUIREMENTS NETWORKSWITCH
The entire switching network system requires its own separate network. For security reasons, it cannot be integrated into an existing corporate network.
The network switch must meet the following specifications:
1 Gigabit switch, with a port-to-port transfer rate of 1 Gigabit/second.
The following switches have all been tested and verified to work with all kvm- tec extenders.
Network requirements Matrix System UDP Version
The KVM-TEC Matrix Switching System communicates via IP between the individual endpoints (local/CPU or remote/CON), as well as with the KVM-TEC Switching Manager, Gateway2Go and API. Sharing of videos is realized via the IGMP function of the switch via multicast.
Each endpoint joins a multicast group, even if only one connection is established. This process is repeated cyclically so that the switch keeps the multicast group active. One exception is the Gateway2Go, which uses unicast and communicates via UDP just like the other devices.
The following UDP ports are required for the transmission:
Port Number 53248 (0xD000) to 53260 (0xD00C)
and Port Number 50000 (0xC350)
These ports must be taken into account when configuring the firewall. For the connection via WAN a secured VPN connection is necessary.
The KVM-TEC Matrix system supports DHCP management of IP addresses, static IP addresses are possible, internal default address range and assignment of IP addresses  ia a DHCP server. To meet all these requirements, the use of Layer 3 switches is recommended.

8.1 RECOMMENDED SWITCHES
Technology Partnership IHSE Group & Netgear
Netgear switches of the series M4250,M4500,M4300 are specially designed for AvoIP systems and therefore offer maximum compatibility. We offer kvm-tec Extenders and  etgear switches in a bundle and take over the system warranty.
(We can test Switches of other manufacturers for a test flat rate).
Switching Manager with hardware.
We now also offer the Switching Manager as hardware configured version, with a Light Version.
