pROdUCT OVERVIEW
NOTE: A home network with wireless capability is necessary for
control of the system via Touchpoint
Russound's RNET® Touchpoint model TCH1 provides direct access
and remote control of a Russound multiroom audio system from an
Apple® iPhone™ or iPod touch®. Touchpoint allows for two-way WiFi
remote control of any zone in a Russound RNET enabled multiroom
audio system and provides real time display of system and source
information.
Touchpoint consists of an interface device called the TCH1S for
integration between the local area network and the Russound
multiroom audio system and required adapters and cables. The TCH1S
serves up web pages for display and control of the Russound multiroom
system over the WiFi network to an iPhone™ or iPod Touch® whose web
browser is pointed to the IP address of the TCH1S. The TCH1S is easily
configured via a direct connection with a computer running Internet
Explorer 7, Firefox 3.x or Safari.

•
6' CAT-5 network patch cable for connection from the TCH1S to the
