Automatic Configuration of a MusicCAST Network

Your MusicCAST network is created when you register clients to the MCX-2000. Once this process is complete, the MCX-2000 and clients can quickly resume network connections even after you reconnect their power cable or awake the MCX-2000 from standby mode (page 14).

nThis section describes the procedure of Client Registration that’s also available as a final step of Easy Setup (page 27). Though we explain here the procedure starting from the menu item selection, the registration process is identical. So, read this section as supplemental information when using Easy Setup.

nWhen you configure a MusicCAST network for the first time, you need to manually operate the MCX-2000 and clients. For this reason, regardless of where each client is finally to be placed, bring the MCX-2000 and all of its clients together in one place to make these processes easier.
