3. KP-iOS Conguration
a. The KP-iOS is powered by a straight through CAT-5 cable connected
to the back of the amp it controls.This connection is for power
only, so order does not matter. It connects to the Mirage Audio
System for control over Wi-. Alternatively, the KP-iOS can be
powered locally with 15V at 2A through the 2-pin Phoenix
connector on the back of keypad. The KP-iOS device requires a
fourth generation iPod with the standard 30 pin connector.
b. Load the Mirage iOS application onto the iPod and open the Settings
app on your iPod. Navigate to the Mirage application in the list.
c. Set Stay Connected to On (g. 1). This will ensure that the Mirage app
doesn’t disconnect from the server.
2. Software Conguration
a. Connect to the Mirage Media Server at. http://<server-ip
or network name>/cong/. If using an MMS-5A, the default
network name is MIRAGE-1. If using an MMS-2, the
default network name is MMS-2. For example, http://
MMS-2/cong. If the default name does not work, you
may have to use the IP address assigned to the server
by your router instead. Both servers display their IP
address on their video output during boot.
b. For system stability, each networked device must
always remain at the same IP address. We strongly
recommend the use of DHCP reservations based on
MAC address. If reservations are not possible, static
IP addresses outside the DHCP range is the next best
option. Leaving the units on unreserved DHCP is not
supported as the server and the amp must be able to
reliably reach each other over IP and there is a chance
for one or the other to change IP addresses. The MAC
address of the amp can be found printed on the back
of the unit in the lower right corner.The MAC address
of the server can be found on the Server Settings tab of the
server’s web conguration.
It may be necessary to keep the end user from ever leaving the Mirage app. To accomplish this, we recommend taking advantage of an iOS feature
called Guided Access.This can be congured to require a PIN to leave the congured area or application.To access this setting, navigate to the iPod’s
Settings app, then General, then Accessibility. Under Learning, select Guided Access (g. 4). Set Guided Access to On (g. 5). Once Guided Access is congured, open
the Mirage app normally. Then triple-tap the home button on the iPod. The Guided Access menu will appear. Select the Start option to congure Guided
Access. Repeat the process to end Guided Access in order to exit the Mirage App.
(g. 1) (g. 2) (g. 3) (g. 4) (g. 5)
d. Set Dock Mode to On (g. 1). This will keep the iPod from going to
sleep, allowing a simple tap on screen to access the app.
e. Set Sleep &Wake with Zone to On (g. 1). This will dim the screen
automatically when the zone is turned off.
f. Set Hardware Dimming to On (g. 1). This will shut off the screen when
the zone is turned off rather than display a black page.
g. Set the Default Zone for this keypad based on the location of the
device. Open the Mirage Application and connect to the server. Tap
the gear icon on the Zones pane to access this conguration
setting (g. 2). Tap Done once the Default Zone is congured (g. 3).
c. Once all devices have set IP addresses,
please navigate to the server’s
Sources tab, found on the server’s
web conguration.The server will
auto-discover ampliers on the same
network and display them in the
‘Audio System’ drop-down menu.
d. Once the amplier has been selected,
congure the sources the system will
use by selecting from the drop-down
menu per MMS instance.This
conguration must match the physical
conguration of the audio cables from
MMS to amp.
Be sure to save any changes made by
pressing the Save Changes button.
