INTRODUCTION
NetStreams® Musica™ NS-MU5066 is a multi-source multi-zone audio distribution
system that may be integrated to work with external control systems and servers.
This can be accomplished via direct control through the RS-232 port on the rear of
the Musica preamp or by means of infrared commands issued by the controlling
system to the IR receivers built into the Musica keypads. The IR commands can be
issued from the controlling system via its own remote control or an IR flasher placed
in the room used to trigger the Musica keypad via its IR receiver may issue them.
The most common way for these controllers and servers to control the audio system
would be through the use of the one-way infrared control commands. These
commands can be taught to other controllers and used to create and extended
remote control scenarios.
The remote control supplied with the Musica system can also provide a way to teach
these commands into a learning universal remote such as the Philips Pronto. These
commands can also be taught to the learning devices for control systems such as
the CRESTRON CNXLIR or the AMX IRIS.

PRE-WIRING
Pre-wiring for NetStreams products is easy once the architecture is understood.
Think of the devices below like computers in a sense or a device that needs a
network connection and power.
1. NS-MU5066KP25S
2. NS-MU5066KP25
3. NS-MU5066KP50
These devices require power and data so it is recommended that a CAT5e and a
16/4 or 14/4 Siamese cable be run to them from the Audio/Video head end. These
devices can be placed anywhere in the home as long as they have access to the
network.
EIM devices such as the Audio Port or MU290 amplifier only require a CAT5e to be
run from the Keypad device to the EIM devices. The MU290 has a loop through of
the EIM bus. This will allow all products to be linked with one CAT5e in a local area.
Terminating wires
Tools needed
a. RJ45 crimpers
b. CAT5 Stripper
c. Wire cutters/strippers
d. Small flat head screw driver
Parts needed
e. RJ45 connectors
f. Quick Connectors for power and speaker connections are provided.
