SpeakerCraft RS232 Owner's Manual

• (1) ERS-1.0 • (1) 6 ft. DB9F to DB9F Null Modem Cable • (1) ERS-1.0 Quick Start Guide EQUIPMENT NEEDED: • (2) 6 ft. Patch Cord (Straight Through) • (1) Fully Functional MZC System programmed with MODE keypads using the latest Firmware • (1) Wireless Router SYSTEM OVERVIEW The ERS creates an web interface on a wireless home network to allow control of a MZC via computer (running a supported internet browser) and/or an iPhone®/iPod Touch®. This manual will give you step by step instructions on the set-up and opera- tion of the ERS-1.0's GUI. 1

In this scenario, we will use a Linksys wireless router. Default setting for a Linksys Router is 192.168.1.1. With a computer con- nected to the wireless router and all related equipment powered up, open up the internet browser on your computer and type in 192.168.1.1 and press ENTER. Log in window will appear. Enter the default user name and password for the Linksys router (default is admin/admin). See Figure 1. Default static IP setting for the ERS-1.0 is 192.168.1.254. The default setting on the Linksys router does not need to be changed to accommodate the ERS-1.0’s IP address. NOTE: Other manufactures might need to have their settings adjusted to be sure there are no IP address conflicts on the network. Configurations will vary for this set up, please make sure to read the router’s owner’s manual for details. The DHCP server settings must use 192.168.1.1 as its local address with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. The DHCP address range must not include 192.168.1.254 or there could be potential IP conflicts on the system. Save settings and power down the router. Step 2 - MZC SETUP Download your project and the latest firmware to the MZC. For information on creating an EZ Tools project and downloading firmware, please refer to the EZ Tools Programming Guide. There is no special setup in the EZ Tools software for the ERS interface, however, there are buttons on the GUI interface that do relate to the project (keep this in mind when programming). See Page 7 for call outs on GUI buttons. Step 3 - RSA SETUP Download the "MZC Control Firmware" into the RSA please refer to the EZ Tools Programming guide for details. Figure 1

Wireless Router iPhone® CAT 5 Patch Cord 6ft DB9F to DB9F Null Mode Cable (Included) WiFi ERS-1.0 Web Server (Included) CAT 5 Patch Cord NOTE: Total distance from MZC to ERS can not be longer than 50 feet. 5V Power Supply (Included) (Required to download MZC Control Firmware)

With all related devices connected, apply power to the wireless router; once the router has fully booted up, then apply power to the MZC, then the ERS-1.0. Boot up time may vary depending on how many zones are configured on the system. Step 4 - iPhone® SETUP Accessing the ERS To access the ERS-1.0 web browser, select the Safari brows- er on your iPhone® and type in the static IP address for the ERS-1.0 (192.168.1.254). The ERS-1.0's GUI will pop up (See Figure 2). Save a Quick Reference Icon To save A Quick Reference icon on the iPhone® main source page, press the "+" sign at the bottom of the web page as shown in Figure 3. Then select "Add to HOME Screen". See Figure 4. Figure 3 Figure 4 Figure 2 4

Notice the SpeakerCraft icon shows up. You can call the link whatever you like, in this case SpeakerCraft, then press ADD. See Figure 5. Notice that the icon is now on the main page. To access the MZC system, press the icon. See Figure 6. Figure 5 Figure 6 5

Predefined buttons: Predefined buttons are buttons that cannot be programmed in any way. Programmable Buttons: Any button that has a number reference to it can have command placed under it. Button numbers relate only to the MODE keypad. You do not need to have a mode keypad in the system for this functionality to work but you do need to have a MODE keypad programmed in the EZTools project. Please see Figure 8 for the MODE keypad button number layout. Once a zone is selected, the GUI will show all sources programmed in that zone. Pre-defined as “Menu Back” Related to button No.79 in EZTool Project. Related to button No.78 in EZTool Project. Related to button No.82 in EZTool Project. Shows next state. Related to button No.74 in EZTool Project. Shows feed- back of which state it is in. Pre-defined 3-step Volume Up or Down. Pre-defined as Party Mode On/Off. Shows feedback of which state it is in. Power Off only relates to Project Button No.76 Pre-defined Menu Up/ Down 5%. Pre-defined as Page Up/ Page Down (Next/Previous 5 in a List). Relates to Button No.81 in EZTool Project. Relates to Button No.77 in EZTools Project. NOTE: No mater what web browser you are using (Iphone, Ipod Touch, Computer) there can only be two simulations connec- tions to the ERS at any one time. If a third connection is made without disconnecting either one of the previous web browsers, a warning will be displayed on the web page. If a forth connection is attempted without disconnecting the previous 3 con- nections, the system will display nothing.
