Right out of the box, the MRWC is capable of controlling Xantech’s award-winning MRC88 and
MRAUDIO8X8 distribution amplifier from a web based platform. The integrated web server enables
Xantech products to be controlled, monitored, and accessed from any computer connected to a Local
Area Network (LAN) or the Internet.

To verify the Ethernet connection, access the MRWC default webpage using a computer connected
to the internal network. A web browser, such as Internet Explorer, is required. In the address window,
