INSTALLATION
(CONT’D)
Connecting a Media Server or Player to the
IM-SERVER
Preparation for Connection
Make sure that the Media Server/Player to be used with the
IntelliControl ICS Modular MultiZone Receiver is connected to
the customer’s home network via a network switch/hub and
CAT-5 cables. It is recommended to test all remote control and
music content functionality of the Media Server/Player before
connecting to the IntelliControl ICS System.
Audio
When all IM-SERVER cards are installed in the Master
IntelliControl ICS Modular MultiZone Receiver, connect the Left
and Right line level audio OUT of the Media Server to the Left &
Right audio IN on the appropriate IM-SERVER.
Network Device
Connect a CAT-5 cable from the Network Device port of the IM-
SERVER card to the network switch/hub that the Media server/
Player is connected to.
IR OUT
Attached a Niles IR Flasher (Niles model MF1, MF1-VF) directly
over the IR eye on the component. (Shine a flashlight onto the
front panel of the media server to find the IR OUT eye if it is not
obvious.)
Carefully run the flasher wire back to the IntelliControl ICS
Modular Multizone Receiver and plug it into the IR jack on the
appropriate IM-SERVER card.
NOTE: An IM-SERVER card can be used for each stream on a
multi-stream capable Media Server.
