This mode only supports DHCP Server operation with a maximum of
4 clients, working on Wifi channels 1-11. Security is supported via WEP 40-bit
(5 ASCII characters) or WEP 104-bit (13 ASCII characters). By default, the mixer
will use a network name consisting of the model name plus the last bits of the
mixer's unique MAC address (e.g.MR18-17-BE-C0). The default IP address is
192.168.1.1 and no security is engaged.
The control software is available for Android and iPad tablets as well as Mac/
PC/Linux computers. Visit music-group.com to download the Mac/PC/Linux
