Putting the receiver into operation
The receiver is powered using Power over Ethernet. As soon as the power
supply is established, the receiver switches on automatically. There is no
separate on/off switch.
▷See „Connecting to the network (power supply and configuration)“.
When the receiver starts, all four LEDs light up green for about 20 seconds.
Then the LEDs change to displaying the status of the respective channel.
▷See „Meaning of the status LEDs“.
The receiver is operated and configured using the Sennheiser Control
Cockpit control software. You cannot operate the receiver on the device it-
self.
▷See „Controlling and monitoring the receiver via the network“.
Controlling and monitoring the receiver via the net-
work
To configure and use the receiver, you need the free Sennheiser Control
Cockpit control software. You can download it here:
www.sennheiser.com/control-cockpit-software
To use the Sennheiser Control Cockpit, you must complete a one-
time registration with your e-mail address to receive the software ac-
tivation code.
The online help contains detailed information about the functions of the
Sennheiser Control Cockpit and how to configure the SL MCR DW and
the network. The online help can be found on the Sennheiser Control Cock-
pit product page (www.sennheiser.com/control-cockpit-software) and in
