NOTICE:
INTERNET CONNECTION REQUIRED FOR
PRODUCT INSTALLATION
There are two things that must be done at the time of installation of this
product that require a working internet connection:
1. Enter valid Russound Certified Installer credentials. The MCA-88 is
shipped in a locked state so that it cannot be operated without first being
configured by a Russound Certified Installer.
IF YOU ARE NOT A RUSSOUND CERTIFIED INSTALLER, YOU WILL NOT
BE ABLE TO INSTALL AND CONFIGURE THIS PRODUCT.
If you are a custom installation professional and wish to become
authorized as a Russound Certified Installer, please contact your Russound
Sales Representative for more information.
Note: If you are a Russound Certified Installer and you plan on installing
this product on a job site that may not have working internet access, please
configure the unit at your shop or other location where internet access is
available BEFORE you take it to the job site.
2. Firmware may be updated through Web-SCS configuration webpages
or by using a USB stick with the latest firmware. In both cases, an internet
connection is required for obtaining the most recent firmware.
Note: If an internet connection will not be available at the place of
installation, the installation location, please download the latest firmware
from the Russound website to your laptop or to a USB drive before going to
the job site.
Russound Certified Installer credentials must be entered through the
Web-SCS configuration webpages.
Lockdown Feature
When a product is shipped from Russound, it will only operate in a "locked"
state. In this state, no audio or control of attached devices via its user
interfaces (keypad, touchscreen, MyRussound App) is available. In order to
unlock the system, valid Russound Certified Installer credentials must be
entered in the Web-SCS.
When the controller is first powered on, a message will appear on all
connected MDK-C6 keypads, TS3 touchscreens and the MyRussound App
indicating that the device must be unlocked. The message will contain the IP
address of the controller. Using your mobile device or computer, browse to
the controller’s IP address (type http:// and then the IP address).
If you are using the MyRussound App, the IP address appears as a link that
will direct you to the Web-SCS via your local web browser.
If you do not have a valid Russound Certified Installer credential, please
contact your Russound Sales Representative.
