Chapter 2: Installing and Configuring the NS-MNE
Each NS-MNE must be installed and configured with the information needed to uniquely identify it
and for it to communicate with both the Ethernet network and its Musica MU5066ADC.
co n f I g u r I n g Me t h o d s
There are two methods which can be used to do this depending on your situation and
preferences:
In-Network Method - Configuration can be accomplished after connecting the devices to the
Ethernet network using the MNE_Finder application to identify and configure the devices. This the
recommended and easiest method.
Standalone Method - Allows configuring the information into the NS-MNE devices before
connecting them into the network, such as before installing at the customer site.
Note: Configuration must be performed for each NS-MNE that is to be installed in »
the system. Up to 3 NS-MNE’s (and the accompanying Musica ADC’s) are allowed
creating up to 18 zones.
IN-NETWORK METHOD
To configure the NS-MNE devices in-network, complete the following steps by referring to the
diagrams below:
Verify the DIP switches on the bottom of the NS-MNE unit are in the proper positions as shown: 1.
Connect each NS-MNE to the Musica MU5066ADC it will control using its null modem cable.2.
Connect the Ethernet port of each NS-MNE to the home Ethernet network switch.3.
Connect the PC to the home Ethernet network; wired or wirelessly.4.
Ensure all power cables are plugged in.5.
Start the computer.6.
An 18-zone connected setup including 3 Musica ADC’s and 3 NS-MNE interfaces would appear
like this:
