NOTE: MPX1000 receivers feature a dedicated control LAN port, which is labelled L1. MPX1500 receivers have
a single LAN port that serves the combined functions of control LAN and media LAN. The combined LAN port on
the MPX1500 receiver is programmed with two unique IP addresses, one for each function.
By default, the transmitter forwards web traffic between its control LAN (L1) port and its media
LAN (L2) port or wireless LAN interface (whichever is active). Thus, no setup of cabling is
required to access the web interface of any bound MPX receiver.
Hypertext links to active receivers are displayed at the bottom of the Transmitter Menu. Receivers
are identified by their MAC address; however, once configured, friendly names will be displayed.
A receiver's web interface may be accessed by launching its link in the Active Receivers list. The
receivers web interface will provide a hyperlink back to the transmitter.
Should you wish to establish a dedicated wired control LAN for web access to MPX transmitters
and receivers, the following section will guide you through the process.
