to set Muse to a static IP address you can change the configuration type to Static and
fill in the required fields. Once you have entered the static IP, subnet, gateway and DNS
address, press Apply. You will need to browse to the static IP address you have chosen

The stream section provides a breakdown of all of the available Muse streams. By
default each stream is named “Muse” followed by the stream number. You can
change the name of the stream to better identify the stream. The stream names will
be displayed in Muse Manager and are used as the broadcast name for streaming
services such as AirPlay 2.

To enable AirPlay 2, tick the corresponding box next to each of the streams you require
AirPlay 2 support. Click Apply at the bottom of the section. The AirPlay 2 service will
