Russound MBX-AMP Installation Guide
Key Programming Features
The MBX-AMP has a programming feature called Web
Config. Web Config is an onboard hosted web page used
for unlocking and configuring the MBX-AMP. Web Config
can be accessed by entering the IP address or Hostname
in any web browser on a smartphone, tablet, or laptop that
is connected to the same network as the MBX-AMP. Using
Web Config, the MBX-AMP can be completely configured,
quickly and easily, from the palm of your hand.

Ethernet Connection
The Ethernet connection is used for configuration and
programming as well as for enabling control via the
Russound App or the XTS5.5 Touchscreen. The default
network setting is DHCP-enabled, but the MBX-AMP can
be configured with a static IP address using the Web Config
tool. The Ethernet connection is also used for the built-
in streaming services and for playing any music stored
on connected network drives using UPnP. The ethernet
connection is the preferred method of network connection,
but the MBX-AMP is fully Wi-Fi certified and its advanced
2.4Ghz/5Ghz dual-band 802.11ac radio can be used in any
installation where running a network cable is difficult or
impractical. The MBX-AMP requires a local network with
internet connectivity for proper operation.
Factory Reset
The factory reset button has three functions. A 1-second
press will initiate a device reboot. A 3-second press and hold
will restore network settings to DHCP. A 10-second press
and hold will completely reset the MBX-AMP to its factory
default settings.
Note: Performing a factory reset will restore the unit to its
factory default settings. The unit will require valid Russound
Certified Installer credentials in order to be unlocked and
configured again. The factory reset will also delete all
personal information including service account settings,
device-stored Favorites and passwords.
