Ethernet Connection
The Ethernet connection is used for configuration and programming as well as
for enabling control via the MyRussound App. The default network setting is
DHCP-enabled, but it may be configured with a static IP address using the Web
Config software.
Note: DHCP must be enabled on the LAN for initial configuration. A static IP
address can be configured later.
The IP Address of the MCA controller can be obtained via several methods.
- By viewing the DHCP table of connected devices within the settings of the router.
- By using an IP Scanner app on a smartphone or tablet.
- By using a XTS touchscreen or MDK-C6 keypad:
To display the IP Address on an XTS Touchscreen press and hold the settings
button for at least 3 seconds to enter the installer settings menu. The controller
IP address will be displayed.
To display the IP Address on an MDK-C6 keypad, select Home > Settings >
Installation > Network Settings.
Factory Reset
The factory reset button has two functions. A 3-second press and hold will
restore network settings to DHCP. A 10-second press and hold will reset the
controller to its factory default settings.
Note: A unit that has been reset to factory default will have no configuration
and will need to be unlocked and reconfigured by a Russound Certified
Installer.
