System Requirements; Wifi Settings - Yamaha M7CL StageMix V1.5 User Manual

Yamaha Commercial Audio

1.0 System Requirements

• Apple iPad (any model)
• Yamaha M7CL digital mixing console with V3 or higher firmware (any model,
including M7CL-48, M7CL-32, M7CL-48ES)
• WiFi access point (preferably with 802.11n, 5GHz capability, though 2.4GHz
and 802.11g will also work)
• CAT5 cable (to connect M7CL to WiFi access point)

2.0 WiFi Settings

Configure the WiFi access point, following the manufacturer's instructions.
special settings are needed, but using security such as WPA is highly recommended,
to prevent unwanted devices from joining the network. Here are some suggested
settings to assist less experienced WiFi users:
1. Give the wireless network a name (this is the "SSID").
2. Choose a security mode (such as WPA) and password.
3. Select the wireless mode (802.11g or n).
4. In the case of "n", select the wireless band (2.4 or 5GHz).
5. If available, enable "Auto Channel Selection" so the wireless channel with the
least interference will be selected.
802.11n networks at 5GHz are preferred because they allow faster communication
between the iPad and the WiFi access point. Practically, this could result in more
accurate level metering with the StageMix app. Also, with 802.11n being a new
standard, it is less prone to interference from other wireless networks. Using a WiFi
access point with 2 or more external aerials is recommended to increase potential
signal range. Booster aerials could be connected for a further increase in
performance.
