SYSTEM SETUP
Step 1 - ROUTER SETUP
In this scenario, we will use a Linksys wireless router. Default setting for a Linksys Router is 192.168.1.1. With a computer con-
nected to the wireless router and all related equipment powered up, open up the internet browser on your computer and
type in 192.168.1.1 and press ENTER. Log in window will appear. Enter the default user name and password for the Linksys router
(default is admin/admin). See Figure 1.
Default static IP setting for the ERS-1.0 is 192.168.1.254. The default setting on the Linksys router does not need to be changed
to accommodate the ERS-1.0’s IP address.
NOTE: Other manufactures might need to have their settings adjusted to be sure there are no IP address conicts on the
network. Congurations will vary for this set up, please make sure to read the router’s owner’s manual for details. The DHCP
server settings must use 192.168.1.1 as its local address with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. The DHCP address range must not
include 192.168.1.254 or there could be potential IP conicts on the system. Save settings and power down the router.
Step 2 - MZC SETUP
Download your project and the latest rmware to the MZC. For information on creating an EZ Tools project and downloading
rmware, please refer to the EZ Tools Programming Guide.
There is no special setup in the EZ Tools software for the ERS interface, however, there are buttons on the GUI interface that do
relate to the project (keep this in mind when programming). See Page 7 for call outs on GUI buttons.
Step 3 - RSA SETUP
Download the "MZC Control Firmware" into the RSA please refer to the EZ Tools Programming guide for details.

SYSTEM SETUP (continued)
With all related devices connected, apply power to the wireless router; once the router has fully booted up, then apply power
to the MZC, then the ERS-1.0. Boot up time may vary depending on how many zones are congured on the system.
Step 4 - iPhone®SETUP
Accessing the ERS
To access the ERS-1.0 web browser, select the Safari brows-
er on your iPhone® and type in the static IP address for the
ERS-1.0 (192.168.1.254). The ERS-1.0's GUI will pop up (See
Figure 2).

GUI INTERFACE
Here is a layout of the main page and the button relation to the MZC project.
Predened buttons:
Predened buttons are buttons that cannot be programmed in any way.
Programmable Buttons:
Any button that has a number reference to it can have command placed under it. Button numbers relate only to the MODE
keypad. You do not need to have a mode keypad in the system for this functionality to work but you do need to have a MODE
keypad programmed in the EZTools project. Please see Figure 8 for the MODE keypad button number layout.
Once a zone is selected,
the GUI will show all
sources programmed in
that zone.

NOTE: No mater what web browser you are using (Iphone, Ipod Touch, Computer) there can only be two simulations connec-
tions to the ERS at any one time. If a third connection is made without disconnecting either one of the previous web browsers,
a warning will be displayed on the web page. If a forth connection is attempted without disconnecting the previous 3 con-
nections, the system will display nothing.
