Before You Start

The Wireless Extender is an important element of the

RC9001 and makes it possible to

control A/V equipment via RF in the entire house.

 

 

In order to use the Extender in a wireless

Network:

 

•Configure the Extender: connect it to the PC and use the Configuration Tool.

•Install the Extender: connect it to external A/V equipment, like a TV or receiver.

The Extender can be used in two ways:

ENGLISH

Stand-alone Mode

This is the so-called ‘Ad-Hoc Mode’: a router is not required.

Stand-alone Advantages:

•The Extender is easily configured and installed.

•It operates independently from other networks and network settings.

Refer to the chapter ‘Stand-alone Connection’ on page 4 to configure the Extender in Stand-alone Mode.

Note If you want to use a Multimedia server, like the Escient Fireball, in combination with one or more Extenders, the Extenders have to be configured in Network Mode.

Network Mode

This is the so-called ‘Infrastructure Mode’: the Extender is used in a network with a router.

Network Advantages:

•A network allows the use of repeaters, which enlarges the range of the RC9001 System.

•When using a dedicated Network, the Extender can operate independently from settings in other networks.

•The Extender in Network Mode can be given a fixed IP address, which increases reliability.

•The network connection can be encrypted.

Refer to the chapter ‘Network Connection’ on page 4 to configure the Extender in Network Mode.

Note An Extender that has been configured in Stand-alone Mode can always be reconfigured for use in Network Mode and vice versa.

You can use up to 16 different Extenders in the same Network.
