There will be four options for connecting to a Wi-Fi
network:

(iPhone, iPod, iPad) running iOS 7 or later,

Settings
configures the IP address of the MX123.
The default setting is DHCP On. In most cases, the
MX123 will receive the required information from
the router.
If you switch DHCP to Off, you can manually enter
the IP address information which is handy if you
want to use a particular unchanging IP address. You
will need the following information to manually set
the IP address:
• IP address
• Subnet Mask address (Typically
255.255.255.0)
• Default Gateway address (Address of your
router)
• DNS address
Network Control
gives you the option of
suspending the network function when the MX123
is in standby mode. This will conserve some power
in standby mode, but the MX123 can not be woken
from a network controller when Off In Standby is
selected.
The default setting for Network Control is Always
On. This allows the MX123 to be operable with a
network compatible controller.
Friendly Name
allows you to select what name
will be displayed for the MX123 on your network.
Options are: Home Theater / Living Room / Family
Room / Guest Room / Kitchen / Dining Room /
Master Bedroom / Bedroom / Den / Office / Other.
Choosing Other will allow you to Input a custom
name.
Diagnostics
will test the network connection and
report any errors.
