on how the MBX-PRE is being used within your particular
audio system. Note that this setting will only affect the
analog output. Both digital outputs (coax and optical) are
unaffected by changes to this setting and always operate in
Fixed mode.
Congratulations! Your MBX-PRE is now fully configured to
work with your amplifier or receiver.
Firmware Updates
By default, the MBX-PRE will search periodically for any
available firmware updates. When an update is available,
the update process will happen automatically with no
need for any user interactions. In order to minimize any
disruption to the enjoyment of the Russound audio system,
the update time can be set in the Admin-Firmware Update
section of Web Config. You can set the Update Time to any
time when the system is unlikely to be in use. For example,
3:18 AM is a time when most audio systems are unlikely to
be in use. Set the time as appropriate for your particular
installation.
Dynamic and Static IP Addresses
The MBX-PRE can be configured with either a dynamic
DHCP address (Default) or a static IP address. This setting
is available for both the Wired Ethernet connection and
the Wi-Fi Ethernet connection. While the setting for a static
IP address is available, Russound recommends using a
dynamic DHCP address and setting up DHCP reservations
on the network router to get all of the benefits of a static IP
address but with the added benefit of being able to control
or modify any IP addresses from a single location.
Note: Any time that the IP address is changed or modified in
WebConfig, you will need to re-navigate in your browser to
the NEW IP address of the MBX-PRE.

Power
As an advanced networking device, the MBX-PRE is
designed to be left on at all times. This allows instant access
to your favorite streaming audio sources at any time and
is especially useful due to the fact that most installations
involve locating the MBX-PRE in remote locations of the
home where it would be difficult to know if it is powered on
or off or to know its current status.
The MBX-PRE has several options for entering a low-power
mode after a specified period of time without being in use.
These options are configurable in the "Setup" section of
WebConfig.
After the number of minutes configured in "Idle Timeout"
in the Admin section of Web Config has passed without any
active audio source in use, the MBX-PRE will enter network
standby mode automatically.
consumption of the device will be 1.9W.
