The ClearOne NS-MNE Musica Network Interface adapter connects the Musica
TM
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.
