Mirage Media Server Set Up

Set Up Your Mirage Media Server

This section provides an overview of powering up your server for the rst time and using the

Remote Conguration Utility to congure the device.

NOTE

You must plug everything in and connect all wires before powering up.

We recommend attaching a display when you rst power up the server

as the IP address will be on screen.

Once you have made all the necessary connections, turn on the MMS by pressing the power

button on the front of the unit once. You should see that the power LED illuminates.

Wait 2-3 minutes for your server to completely boot up the rst time, or if your server is

connected to a video display, wait until the Now Playing screen shows on the display.

For a wiring diagram, please refer to the Mirage Audio System Quick Start Guide.

Conguring The MMS

The Mirage Media Server has a built-in web server that provides for remote conguration of

the server, control system integration, and control of music playback with the Mirage player

interface.

The MMS is congured at the factory to automatically obtain a network IP address from your

DHCP server (usually your router).

Using any computer on the same network, open the MMS Remote Conguration Utility with

your Internet browser using the default conguration address for your server model:

MMS-5A:

http://Mirage-1/cong

MMS-2A:

http://MMS-2/cong

Using IP:

http://server-ip-address/cong

On some computers (especially Macs) you will need to add the .local sufx to the end of the

server name (example:

http://Mirage-1.local/cong).

You can also look up the IP address of the server using the DHCP client table in your router’s

interface if necessary.

Once you have connected to the MMS conguration page, you will see several tabs for

conguring your MMS:

General Settings

The Server Settings tab allows you to congure the following options.

It is important to remember to press the Save button at the top of this tab after you are nished

making any changes to this page. If you navigate away from this page without pressing Save,

your changes will be lost.
