AirPlay Password
The MBX-PRE supports an optional AirPlay password feature
that when set, requires a password in order for an iOS device
to stream to the MBX-PRE using AirPlay. You'll find the
AirPlay password settings using Web Config in the "Setup"
tab.
Under AirPlay Password, enter the desired password. When
a password has been configured, any time that the MBX-
PRE is selected from the list of available AirPlay devices, a
message will appear on the iOS device, prompting for the
AirPlay password. Once the correct password is entered,
the iOS device can successfully stream music to the MBX-
PRE. The iOS device will retain the password for future use.
Multiple Streaming Products
Note that account settings are individual settings for
each MBX-PRE or other Russound MBX-Series
product. If you have multiple MBX-Series
must be configured with the appropriate account login
information. This is done so that each device can have its
own independent user in a home so that users will not have
to share accounts or favorites with anyone else in the home.
The ideal installation is for each user in a home to have their
own personal MBX-Series
®
user always has access to their favorite music selections.
Using Bluetooth
In order to pair a Bluetooth device with the MBX-PRE, you
must enter Bluetooth Pairing Mode. To enter pairing mode,
press and hold the outermost buttons on the MBX-PRE front
panel (Favorite 1 and Volume Up) for a few seconds until
the front panel LED on the MBX-PRE blinks blue twice. The
MBX-PRE is now in pairing mode. Use your phone/tablets
Bluetooth pairing process to discover the MBX-PRE and
complete the pairing.

Using Quick Access Buttons
The MBX-PRE has two front-panel buttons for quick access
to up to 2 favorite audio sources. The buttons operate like
radio preset buttons. Press and hold one of the buttons
to store the currently playing selection. A quick tap of that
button will let you quickly access and start playing that
selection again at any time.
DHCP Reset
A DHCP Reset can be performed using the factory reset
button on the rear panel of the MBX-PRE.
If your MBX-PRE cannot communicate on the network, you
can reset its DHCP connection by pressing and holding the
Reset button on the rear of the MBX-PRE for 3 seconds and
then releasing it. This will restore the MBX-PRE to a DHCP
connection from a static IP connection. This will also reset
the network connection type to "Automatic" so that a wired
Ethernet connection can easily be made. Performing the
DHCP reset will also delete Wi-Fi configuration information
so that the device can be configured for a new wireless
connection. Refer to "Wi-Fi Connections" on page 6 for more
information on connecting to a Wi-Fi network.
Factory Reset
For a full factory reset, erasing all configuration settings, and
re-locking the MBX-PRE:
Press and hold the Reset button on the rear of the MBX-
PRE for 10 seconds. The Red Status LED will light and the
MBX-PRE will reboot on its own.
Note: Performing a factory reset will restore the unit to its factory
default settings and put MBX-PRE in Zone mode. The unit will require
valid Russound Certified Installer credentials in order to be unlocked
and configured again. The factory reset will also delete all personal
information including service account settings and passwords.
