and for it to communicate with both the Ethernet network and its Musica MU5066ADC.

ethods
There are two methods which can be used to do this depending on your situation and
preferences:
In-network Method - Configuration can be accomplished after connecting the devices to the
Ethernet network using the MNE_Finder application to identify and configure the devices. This the
recommended and easiest method.
standalone Method - Allows configuring the information into the NS-MNE devices before
connecting them into the network, such as before installing at the customer site.
Note: Configuration must be performed for each NS-MNE that is to be installed in »
the system. Up to 3 NS-MNE’s (and the accompanying Musica ADC’s) are allowed
creating up to 18 zones.
In-neTwork MeTHod
To configure the NS-MNE devices in-network, complete the following steps by referring to the
diagrams below:
Verify the DIP switches on the bottom of the NS-MNE unit are in the proper positions as shown: 1.
Connect each NS-MNE to the Musica MU5066ADC it will control using its null modem cable. 2.
Connect the Ethernet port of each NS-MNE to the home Ethernet network switch. 3.
Connect the PC to the home Ethernet network; wired or wirelessly. 4.
Ensure all power cables are plugged in. 5.
Start the computer. 6.
An 18-zone connected setup including 3 Musica ADC’s and 3 NS-MNE interfaces would appear
like this:
