Chapter 1: Introduction

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

The ClearOne NS-MNE Musica Network Interface adapter connects the MusicaTM MU5066ADC RS-

232 connector to an RJ-45 Ethernet connection allowing IP-control of the Musica system through

an Adobe®Flash®-enabled browser or using the iMusica application with an Apple®iPhone®, iPad®

or iPod touch®.

The NS-MNE is compact in size and the software is built in so it requires no programming. Simple

configuration is all that is required to take IP-control of the Musica system.

In addition, up to 3 MU5066ADC units can be connected using 3 NS-MNEs to make an 18-zone

system.

Note: Installing one or more NS-MNE units is essentially the same, however, this»

guide assumes multiple NS-MNEs are being installed and configured.

Br o w s e r op e r a t I o n

PC’s, tablets and smartphones with Flash enabled browsers access and control the NS-MNE over

its Ethernet connection from a GUI generated within the unit.

IMu s I c a op e r a t I o n

iMusica is an application written for use with the Apple iPhone, iPod touch and iPad products that

provides the same functionality using an optimized interface. It additionally provides access to an

iTunes Library running on a networked computer.

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:

In f o r M a t I o n re q u I r e d

You will need to provide the following information for each NS-MNE as you configure:

Static IP Address•

Note: In systems where more than one NS-MNE is configured, the IP addresses that are»

assigned must be sequential. For example, the first NS-MNE could be 10.15.100.150,

then the second would be 10.15.100.151, and the third 10.15.100.152.

Subnet Mask•

Gateway Address•

5 te c h n I c a l su p p o r t : 800.283.5936

You will also need the MAC Address of each NS-MNE device (printed on bottom of the unit)

dI s c o v e r I n g a n d co n f I g u r I n g t h e ns-Mne un I t s

The MNE_Finder application running on a PC connected to the network discovers any NS-MNE units

that are connected via the local Ethernet even if their current IP address settings are incompatible

with those of the PC running the program.

ru n n I n g Mne_fI n d e r

Make sure each NS-MNE unit is powered on and connected to the Ethernet network via its Ethernet

port.

On a PC running Windows connected to the same Ethernet network, run the MNE_Finder.exe

program. The program automatically discovers and shows a list of all connected NS-MNE units

along with their current IP address, MAC address, and firmware revision.

If you need to repeat the discovery, press the “Refresh List” button.

CONFIGURING WITH MNE_FINDER

To configure, perform the following:

Identify the NS-MNE unit you will configure by the MAC address that is listed by the MNE_1.

Finder.

Select it then click the2. Configure IP Settings button.

In s t a l l a t I o n a n d op e r a t I o n Ma n u a l 6

Enter the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway for the device.3.

Enter the password, which is “4. sysadm” (the field is case sensitive).

Click on5. Apply which pushes the address into the device over the network. After the informa-

tion has been sent to the device the MNE_Finder main screen will be displayed (about 30 sec-

onds).

Reboot the NS-MNE by either unplugging and restoring the power to the device, or by select-6.

ing the device and clicking on the Reboot Device button on the side panel of the MNE_Finder

program. (Using the Reboot Device button requires that the password be entered.)

After the device is rebooted verify the IP Address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway are as7.

intended.

Repeat the process for each NS-MNE in the system.8.

Subsequent possible operations are available via buttons on the left hand side of the interface,

which are described below. Wherever a password is needed, it will be the root password for the

unit, which is “sysadm” by default.

OTHER FINDER CONTROLS

The MNE_Finder application has other controls running along the side of the screen whose functions

are described below:

Device Info - Shows a summary of the information available on the NS-MNE unit.

Reboot Device - Reboots the device. Requires a password.

Refresh List - Performs a new discovery of NS-MNE devices.

Close - Closes the MNE_Finder application.

co n f I g u r a t I o n pr o c e s s

To configure the NS-MNE, connect the hardware, then use the Windows HyperTerminal or similar

application to perform the configuration. (HyperTerminal can be downloaded for Windows 7.)

Verify the DIP switches on the bottom of the NS-MNE unit are in the proper positions as shown:1.

Connect the NS-MNE to the computer serial port using the null modem cable provided.2.

DO NOT CONNECT POWER TO NS-MNE.

NOTE: If your computer does not have a serial port, you need to use an adapter that»

converts from USB to serial. Note the COM port number.

Start the computer.3.

Establish a COM Port connection to the NS-MNE device using the MS-Windows HyperTerminal4.
