Receiver configuration (Optional)
Accessing your receiver’s web interface
The on-board web interface of an MPX1000 receiver may be accessed indirectly through the 
control LAN port (L1) of the transmitter or directly via the control LAN port (L1) of the receiver 
itself. By default, the transmitter will forward web traffic between its control LAN (L1) port and its 
media LAN (L2) port or wireless LAN interface (whichever is active). Thus, no setup or cabling is 
required to access the web interface of an MPX receiver.
Hypertext links to active receivers are displayed at the bottom of the Transmitter Menu. Receivers 
are identified by their MAC address; however, once configured, friendly names will be displayed. 
A receiver’s web interface may be accessed by clicking on its entry in the Active Receivers list. 
Once connected to the receiver, the Active Receivers list will be replaced with a hyperlink to 
the transmitter.
Should you wish to establish a dedicated wired LAN for web access to MPX1000 transmitters and 
receivers, the following section will guide you through the process.
MPX1000 receiver control LAN (L1) settings (Optional)
Should you wish to establish a dedicated wired control LAN for management of MPX1000 
extenders, it will be necessary to establish unique IP addresses for the control LAN ports (L1) of 
each receiver and transmitter to be placed on the shared LAN.
