1.0 Overview
The Mirage Audio System (MAS) consists of a Mirage Media Server (MMS-1e/MMS-2A/MMS-5A)
and one or more Mirage digital multi-room ampliers (M-120e/M-400/M-800).
The MAS is a multi-room streaming platform designed to work with automation and control
systems such as Lutron’s RadioRA 2.
Lutron and Autonomic have collaborated to offer a series of device interfaces designed to
allow for control of the MAS. This includes multi-room audio playback of streaming and local
music content. The implementation of the Lutron RadioRA 2 interface allows for easy integra-
tion and playback of local music libraries and streaming services, such as Pandora®, Spotify,
SiriusXM, Napster®, and iHeartRadio, in addition to many others.
The completed integration will allow your customers to:
1. Set and recall presets in specic rooms or groups of rooms
2. Control volume including mute
3. Control source selection
4. Issue transport controls including play, pause, skip previous and skip next
5. Power On/Off individual rooms or groups of rooms
6. Combine audio and non-audio functions on the same keypad
7. Integrate audio functions into Lutron macros or scenes
While it is possible to utilize Mirage Media Servers or Mirage Digital Ampliers individually, the most
complete and satisfying experience is achieved by using both Mirage components (MAS) in concert.
This document covers the integration of MAS with Lutron RadioRA 2 but can also serve to
document the integration of the individual components for stand alone congurations.

2.0 Mirage Audio System Integration
with Lutron RadioRA 2
Autonomic Mirage Media Servers and Digital Ampliers allow control from 3rd party
and mobile applications. The interface connects directly to the LAN within the residence
allowing for direct integration with the Lutron RadioRA 2 system over the IP network.
Virtually all features of the Mirage Media Servers and Ampliers are available for integra-
tion with Lutron RadioRA 2. The most common MMS commands can be easily associated
to buttons on the RadioRA 2 wired keypads, wireless keypads and interfaces. The MMS will
automatically discover existing RadioRA 2 controllers and keypads on your network and
make them available for conguration right from the MMS cong page. No additional
software or hardware is necessary to get the Lutron RadioRA 2 system up and controlling
the Mirage Audio System.
Commands that are available to associate with keypads are listed below:

3.0 Discovery of a Lutron
RadioRA 2 on the MMS:
• Navigate to the Mirage media Server’s cong page http://<IP of MMS>/cong
• Select the Source Settings* tab from the cong page
• Scroll down the page to the Lutron Conguration section
• Select the dropdown under the Lutron RadioRA 2 system, then select the name
of your project. The drop down box will automatically be populated with the
name of your RadioRA 2 system. (If you do not see your conguration in the

4.0 Adding Keypads to your Conguration:
All or several of your RadioRA 2 keypads can be system control functions of the Mirage
Audio System. If the keypads have already been congured by RadioRA 2 programming
to control lighting, this functionality will still remain in addition to all MMS commands
associated with the buttons.
If you are planning on dedicating keypads for audio control only, do not add any lighting
functionality to the keypad in the RadioRA 2 conguration.
• In the Room dropdown menu choose the room where the keypad resides
• Choose the keypad you would like to congure from the room’s list of available keypads

will be displayed. To conrm the physical button you would like to program matches the
the keypad button displayed, simply tap the button on the RadioRA 2 keypad for a blue
check box to appear next to its matching button in the conguration.

7.0 Preset Groups:
A Preset Group is a group of keypads sharing the same presets in the Mirage
amplier web conguration page. Each keypad is a member of a particular Preset Group.
For example, all 1st Floor keypads can be congured for Preset Group 1, which may be
stored or recalled on any keypad in the group. All keypads are part of the same default
Preset Group, until changed.
If you would like keypads to have their own presets, congure them to be members of a
different Preset Group on the amplier’s conguration page.
To select a preset group for a keypad button click the preset group drop down to the left
of the keypad buttons.
8.0 Saving the RadioRA 2 Conguration
Click the Save button on the top right of the cong page.
Leaving this page without saving will cause any unsaved changes to be lost.
9.0 Clearing the RadioRA 2
Conguration from the MMS
Clicking the Clear Conguration button next to the project name conguration
dropdown will clear all commands associated with keypad buttons.
