Network Settings
MUSE Ethernet connections enable a home theater system
to be controlled by mobile devices on the network and/or by
third-party control and automation systems. Customization
of network settings is accomplished here.
Static IP Address Entry Screen:
address control brings up the IP address entry screen.
Enter the desired static IP address using the "+" and "-" keys
to increment or decrement the address.
P Address:
This indicator shows the current IP address for
the MUSE. The factory default IP address is preset to
192.168.1.245. However, if DHCP is enabled, the MUSE
will automatically request an IP address from the DHCP
server upon initially joining the network. This process can
take up to a minute and usually results in a new IP address
assignment from the factory default.

IP Type Selection:
This control determines whether the
MUSE IP address is either Static or DHCP.
DHCP Type Selection (default):
establishes a network IP address assigned by the network
DHCP server (usually located in the local router) after each
MUSE or DHCP server power cycling. The DHCP method of
establishing an IP address for the MUSE helps ensure no IP
address conflicts occur on the network. However, external
controllers issuing commands to the MUSE via IP must be
made aware of any changes to the MUSE IP address in
order to continue working over the long term.
To reset a DHCP address for the MUSE because of network
changes, either the router can be reset or the DHCP button
on the MUSE can be touched. Touching the DHCP button
with cause the MUSE to request a new IP address from the
DHCP server. Once received, the new address is
displayed. This process can take a few minutes to
complete.
If a DHCP server does not exist on the local network, is not
activated for some reason or has a limited range of IP
addresses to work with, the MUSE may not be able to obtain
an automatic IP address assignment. In this case, the
MUSE will generally remain on its default IP address of
192.168.1.245.
Startic IP Type Selection (optional):
manually set by pressing the Static IP button. Use the
cursor to select the triplet along with the "+" and "-" keys to
increment or decrement the number.
With a static IP address set, as long as there are no other
devices already on the local network with the same
(conflicting) IP address, the MUSE can be controlled and
monitored at this address even through router and/or MUSE
power cycling.
A static IP allows mobile devices and 3
systems to retain links to control the MUSE even through
power cycling.
