Music Port MPS4 and MPS4-E
The Music Port and Music Port Elite source components use
the IP connection to the home
’
s network router for the
source address selection. The Music Port Remote Config
utility is accessed through an internet browser by entering
the Music Port
’
s IP address followed by / and config, ie.
192.168.1.189/config. The Remote Config will open and a
“
Source Address
”
tab allows you to set the source number
for each of the four Music Port audio outputs. These
selections are saved to the Music Port
’
s flash memory and
when its NuVoNet output is connected to the Allport, the
attached Essentia System will recognize the Music Port
sources.
VII. Connecting the IR Emitters for Third-Party Source
Components (Fig. 6)
IR commands for the source equipment are transferred from
the Essentia amplifier to the source equipment using the
mini IR mouse emitters. Six of these are supplied with your
Essentia System. The emitter is plugged into the
corresponding source IR output on the Essentia and then
placed over the IR receiver window on the source
component. The IR outputs are individually routed to
sources 1-6.

NuVoDock for iPod
Note that although the NuVoDock system has a 16 position
rotary switch for source input, only positions 1 – 6 are used.
The Wired, Wall Mount and Wireless NuVoDocks for iPod use
a simple rotary switch to set the appropriate source input.
Up to two Wireless NuVoDocks and six Wired NuVoDocks
could be used as individual sources through NuVoNet. The
NuVoDocks consist of a dock for iPod playback and
recharging as well as a receiver component designed to
communicate with NuVoNet. Prior to plugging the receiver
into the Essentia Allport, set the Source rotary switch to the
desired source number input. Once set, the Control Pads will
automatically display the iPod information when an iPod is
plugged into the NuVoDock. Each NuVoDock and receiver
must have a separate source number selected.
The two SUM outputs will flash any IR command that is sent
from any of the zones. This is most commonly used with an
IR blaster designed to flash IR commands to a variety of
components.

NuVo T2 Tuner Direct Numeric Access (Fig. 7)
The NuVo T2 Tuners have the ability for direct IR access to
numeric station tuning. This can be done through the T2
remote control or using a third party remote control that has
been taught the T2 IR codes. To allow this control, it is
necessary to link the Essentia SUM IR output to the Direct IR
input on the T2 using a stereo 3.5mm (1/8
”
) mono patch
cable. Once the connection is made, the T2 will respond to
the numeric IR commands issued through the Essentia
Control Pad IR receivers.
