NOTICE:
When the MBX-PRE is shipped from Russound, it will only
operate in a "locked" state. In this state, no audio or control is
available. In order to unlock the system, valid Russound Certified
Installer credentials must be entered using our convenient Web
Config browser-based configuration utility.
When the MBX-PRE is first powered on, a message will appear
on any compatible user interfaces and the MyRussound App
indicating that the device must be unlocked. The message
will contain the IP address of the controller. Using your mobile
device or computer, browse to the controller's IP address (type
http:// and then the IP address).
If you are using the MyRussound App, the IP address appears
as a link that will direct you to Web Config via your local web
browser.
If you do not have a valid Russound Certified Installer
credential, please contact your Russound Sales Representative.
