owners manual for proper static IP address settings.
Critical Knowledge
§
A static IP address must be set on the MRC-6430 to use the nHR200 Wi-Fi remote Control.
§
Most PoE network switches have a number of ports for power insertion and some ports with no power insertion. Make
sure that the MRC-6430 is plugged into a non-powered port and that the nKP7 is plugged into a powered port.
§
The nTP7 can also be plugged into a powered port, OR it can be powered by an external power supply.

Additionally if more than 6 IR Flasher ports are needed, then you can connect one of the IR outputs to a Niles IR Main
System Unit (MSU) to provide additional un-routed IR Flasher ports.
