NOTE: Please use caution when connecting an external device to the RECEPTOR VIP when it is in
Passive Mode. The only control you will have over the level coming out of the RECEPTOR VIP is by
changing the output level of the device you have attached.
WARNING: THE PASSIVE MIX FUNCTION IS ONLY FOR LINE LEVEL INPUTS. NEVER
CONNECT THE OUTPUT OF AN AMPLIFIER TO ANY INPUT ON RCEPTOR VIP OR
PERMANENT DAMAGE TO THE AUDIO SYSTEM WILL RESULT. SUCH DAMATE IS NOT
COVERED UNDER WARRANTY!
Exploring the GUI: The Setup Menu Tab
Your RECEPTOR VIP has several system level settings. These are all found in the SETUP tab on the
graphical User Interface.
Setup: Network Settings
There are two primary network settings in RECEPTOR VIP: Automatic or Crossover.
The Network Settings window allows you to determine what mode the networking will be
configured. In Automatic mode, it is assumed that your RECEPTOR VIP is connected to a computer
network that has a device like a cable or DSL modem on it for connection to the internet. This
mode would allow you to use the Muse Tools software to view the gUI, or update the software on
your RECEPTOR VIP.
Setup: Software Updates
RECEPTOR VIP is powered by software, and as such, one of the most powerful aspects of it is the
fact that you are able to receive software updates to improve the functionality of your RECEPTOR
VIP.
To update the software, you must first have a "live" Internet conection available, and you must
also connect a mouse, monitor and keyboard to your RECEPTOR VIP. Once these connections have
been made, simply select Software Update from the SETUP menu, and the RECEPTOR VIP will
automatically check for, download and install any relevant software updates for the system.
IMPORTANT NOTE: We highly recommend that you check for software updates immediately after
purchase of your RECEPTOR VIP, and then once every 3 to 6 months to keep your RECEPTOR VIP
up to date!
In Crossover mode, the assumption is that the RECEPTOR VIP
will be connected directly to another computer using a single
"crossover" cable, and NOT connected to a network device like a
router or switch. In this mode, the assumption is that you will be
using the computer primarily to view the gUI using the RECEPTOR
VIP Tools program.
Also handy is the Network Status screen that tells you whether
your network is properly configured.
RECEPTOR VIP uses standard network cables, available at your
local computer store.
