3) Connecting wall panels
Connect the MWX43/45 and MWX65 wall panels to the Wall-Panel (WP) inputs (RJ45
connectors) for each zone. Multiple MWX43/45 wall panels can be connected to one
single WP input by using bus cabling (connecting all the wall panels in parallel). The
assignment of which wall panel is controlling which zone can be done by software
configuration (See configuration functions). Only one All-In-One Wall Panel with
additional audio input can be connected to one WP input.
4) Connecting a computer
A computer can be connected to the MTX through Ethernet. If the computer is directly
connected to the MTX, a crossed network cable is necessary. If the MTX is connected
to a local LAN network (connected to a router / switch / hub) a straight network cable is
necessary. Ask your IT administrator for help.
To get access to the user interface, enter the following address in your internet browser
address bar: “http://192.168.0.192” (This is the factory default IP address of the MTX, can
be changed in the user interface). The default administrator password (gives you access
to all functions) is “MTX” and the default user password (gives you only access to the
basic functions) is “user”. If you want to make any changes to the settings, you should
log-in with the administrator password.
Configuring the MTX
1) Changing the IP address
You can skip this step when the default IP address “192.168.0.192” is not used by another
device in your network, and is OK for you. If you like to change the IP address, go to
the “Setup” menu (click the icon in the upper right corner of the main screen) and click
“Network Settings”. Now you can change the IP address, and click “OK” to apply the
changes and save. Afterwards, your browser will be automatically redirected to the new IP
address of the MTX, and the default IP address is not longer valid.
2) Changing the password
You can skip this step if the default password “MTX” for administrator and “user” for
users is OK for you, buy we always recommend to change these passwords, especially
when your MTX is connected to a public network where external users have access to. If
you like to change the password, go to the “Setup” menu and click “Password settings”.
Here you can change the passwords. First, the old password needs to be entered, and
subsequently the new password needs to be entered twice (Max 8 characters). Press the
“OK” button to save the new password. Now, you always need to log-in with the new
passwords and the default passwords are not longer valid.
3) Configuring wall panels and sources
Go to the “Setup” menu and click “System configuration”. Now you have the possibility to
choose between “MWX65” and “MWX43/45”.
To configure the settings for the MWX43/45 wall panels, click the corresponding button.
By the dropdown list the zone can be chosen for which a wall panel should be assigned.
After the zone is selected, click the “Set Address” button. The displays on all connected
wall panels will start blinking with the selected zone number. Push the upper button
“Program +” on the wall panel which should be assigned with that particular zone. After
the “Program +” button is pressed, the wall panel will be linked with the selected zone
and the display will stop blinking. Repeat this action for all the connected wall panels and
for all zones untill a zone is assigned for every connected wall panel.
