The Media Source 200 can be configured using
its internal web interface, which can be accessed
over the network from any device that supports a
web browser.
You can find its address using the Meridian
Sooloos Configuration Application, or in systems
with a Control:One, Control 10, or Control 15,
through the Device Manager. Alternatively, it can
be found by interrogating your router and locating
the IP address that matches the MAC address
of the Media Source 200 product (the product’s
serial number is its MAC address).
It provides the following information and settings:

Infra-red receiver
To configure the Media Source 200 as
controller
The front panel of the Media Source 200
includes an infra-red receiver, to allow it to
control a Meridian system using the MSR+ or
Audio Core 200 handset.
In a simple system with M6 or DSP3300
loudspeakers you should make the Media Source
200 the controller, as follows:
The infra-red receiver has the following settings:
Setting
Description
Controller
It receives infra-red commands for
the Meridian system.
Not Controller
It ignores infra-red commands.
Auto
This is the initial setting. The
Meridian system will automatically
designate one unit as the controller.
The setting can be changed from the Media
Source 200’s internal web interface; see
opposite page.
Either:
• Press Clear on the MSR+ to start the auto
setup process.
If the Media Source 200 is designated as
controller the left and right indicators will give
a long flash. The left indicator will then indicate
infra-red reception.
Or:
• In the Media Source 200’s internal Web
interface select the Controller setting.
The product will then respond to both the MSR+
and the AC200 handset.
