myRoom LMR-EO Network
369872c 1 05.21.18
Installation Overview
The network architecture that forms the Local Area
Network (LAN) for the myRoom processor and
server communications of the myRoom guestroom
control system can be adapted to an existing hotel's
network infrastructure. While this can be of
substantial savings in time and material when
adapted to a hotel's network infrastructure, the
responsibility, setup, and authority for that network
falls directly under that hotel's IT administration.
When using a hotel's network infrastructure, the
myRoom LAN must have unrestricted
communication within that hotel's IT parameters.
This document lists the myRoom LAN
IT requirements and must to be given to the hotel's
IT administration prior to system installation.
Timeliness of a project where myRoom is residing
on the hotel's network is dependent on that hotel's
IT planning and cooperation. The earlier the hotel IT
administration is brought into the project the easier
and more efficient the installation will be.
Ethernet Overview
The myRoom guestroom management system
requires an IEEE 802.3 Ethernet link to enable
communications between myRoom processors as
well as between myRoom processors and the
myRoom server. When this Ethernet link is supplied
by a customer’s IT department, it must be designed
and configured to meet the hotels IT requirements
and the myRoom LAN requirements.
myRoom Ethernet Network Configuration
System Overview
Each facility will have its own characteristics. This
document outlines the guidelines and requirements for
the infrastructure to support the Lutron myRoom
system.
The myRoom Ethernet communications link follows
the IEEE 802.3 Ethernet standard using a minimum
cabling of Category 5 (CAT5). This copper or fiber
wiring must follow the standard IEEE 802.3 Ethernet
wiring rules for distance and separation.
•CAT5maximumdistancerequirement:
328 ft (100 m).
•Ifacablerunoflongerthan328ft(100m)isrequired,
an Ethernet switch (by others) will need to be used to
extend the length.
It is possible to use an existing Ethernet infrastructure
installed in the building as the myRoom processor
communications link. When this is done, the
customer, network installer, and network administrator
must be aware of the myRoom system requirements.
The myRoom system uses IP any-source multicast
between the myRoom server and processors by
default. The customer-provided network must be
configured to allow multicast traffic between the
myRoom server and processors on the network.
The myRoom VLAN must be separate from the rest of
the hotel's network systems. This includes the guest
room network, point of sale systems and any public
access networks.

System Start-Up
When the network is supplied by others, the
network must be operational before the certified
Lutron service engineer arrives on-site for system
start-up. The system start-up cannot be completed
without reliable connectivity between the myRoom
processors and the myRoom server.
The customer may be required to schedule an
additional field service visit at an additional charge if
start-up cannot be completed. This may occur if the
network is not installed or if any networking
equipment required to ensure connectivity between
myRoom components is not operational and
properly configured.
Site and Network Access
Certified Lutron service engineers and supporting
personnel must have access to network equipment
required to ensure communication between Lutron
components on the network.
If access to network equipment and/or use of
network analysis tools is not permitted, the
customer must ensure that qualified network
support personnel are on-site and available to
support the certified Lutron service engineer during
the commissioning process. Lack of support may
require scheduling additional field service visits at an
additional charge.
Network Documentation
The network configuration settings of the Lutron
equipment connected to the network; such as, IP
addresses, subnet masks, and gateway addresses,
must be supplied to Lutron prior to the certified
Lutron service engineer’s arrival on site to
commission the system.
Note: The server and each processor will need its
own unique IP address for the system VLAN.
Network Support Disclaimer
When the network is supplied by the customer’s IT
department, Lutron cannot be held responsible for
myRoom system downtime that results from network
downtime.
The network that is used to communicate between
Lutron myRoom equipment is utilized as a control and
a data network. Control networks require more
predictable and consistent response times. Increased
traffic from corporate intranet data can greatly affect
these response times.
Network reliability impacts the collection of data from
the myRoom system. This data is used to generate
reports and to assess system performance. Network
reliability also impacts control functions.
Lutron recommends that the customer employ
qualified network support personnel that will maintain
the reliability and performance of the network post-
occupancy.
Network Equipment Requirements
All network equipment ports connected to the Lutron
myRoom processor are configured to
10 / 100 Mbps data speeds.
Network communications between the myRoom
processor and the Lutron server must not rely on
wireless technology. A wired IEEE 802.3 Ethernet
network is required for the myRoom system to
function.
The myRoom management software uses a browser
based user interface that can be used with wireless
technology, IEEE 802.11 in communications to the
myRoom server.
Physical and administrative access to network
equipment should be limited to authorized personnel
only.

IP Multicast Configuration
Lutron uses IP any-source multicast for system
communication between myRoom processors and
the myRoom server.
Each guestroom in the myRoom system must have
its own unique multicast address. These multicast
addresses are assigned to Lutron for use with the
myRoom system only. These multicast addresses
must be determined and configured prior to the
certified Lutron service engineer’s arrival on-site to
commission the system.
Each assigned multicast address must have the
ability to reach its assigned myRoom processor on
the system. Every myRoom processor on the
system will communicate to the myRoom server
using multicast and unicast.
IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol)
In order to properly route multicast traffic between
Layer 2 and Layer 3 devices, "IGMP snooping"
needs to be enabled on all switches in both
directions from the myRoom server to the myRoom
processor and from the myRoom processor to the
myRoom server.
The myRoom system multicast supports the IGMP
standard versions 1, 2, and 3.
PIM (Protocol Independent Multicast)
If routing multicast traffic between Layer 3 devices
over a LAN or WAN, Protocol Independent Multicast
will need to be enabled to properly route the multicast
trafc.Bothsparsemodeanddensemodeare
