Before You Start

The Wireless Extender is an important element of the RC9001 and makes it possible to
control A/V equipment via RF in the entire house.
In order to use the Extender in a wireless Network:

• Configure the Extender: connect it to the PC and use the Configuration Tool.

• Install the Extender: connect it to external A/V equipment, like a TV or receiver.

The Extender can be used in two ways:

Stand-alone Mode

This is the so-called ‘Ad-Hoc Mode’: a router is not required.

Stand-alone Advantages:

• The Extender is easily configured and installed.

• It operates independently from other networks and network settings.

Refer to the chapter

‘Stand-alone Connection’

on page 4 to configure the Extender in Stand-alone

Mode.

Note If you want to use a Multimedia server, like the Escient Fireball, in combination with one or

more Extenders, the Extenders have to be configured in Network Mode.

Network Mode

This is the so-called ‘Infrastructure Mode’: the Extender is used in a network with a router.

Network Advantages:

• A network allows the use of repeaters, which enlarges the range of the RC9001 System.

• When using a dedicated Network, the Extender can operate independently from settings
in other networks.

• The Extender in Network Mode can be given a fixed IP address, which increases reliability.

• The network connection can be encrypted.

Refer to the chapter ‘

Network Connection’

on page 4 to configure the Extender in Network Mode.

Note An Extender that has been configured in Stand-alone Mode can always be reconfigured for use

in Network Mode and vice versa.
You can use up to 16 different Extenders in the same Network.
