COMPASS RMS QUICKSTART GUIDE
CHAPTER 2: COMPASS HARDWARE CONNECTIONS
This chapter discusses how to connect RMServer to your computer and RMS-equipped loudspeakers, and how to upgrade an Echelon iLon system.
CONNECTING RMSERVER TO YOUR COMPUTER
RMServer can connect from its RJ-45 port to a computer Ethernet port, network router, or
network switch with a shielded CAT-5e cable. This connection allows remote control from a
Mac® or Windows® computer running the Compass control software. RMServer can share
the same network with Galileo processors and other network-controlled Meyer Sound
devices.
NOTE: If you use a router to connect RMServer to a computer, make sure it is
correctly configured.
RMServer ships from the factory with a static IP address set to 192.168.0.120. If your network
uses a 192.168.0.x network range, you need not change the IP address.
To change RMServer’s IP address to another network range:
1. Open a browser window and enter the host name (rmserver[serial number].local) in the
URL address field. The RMServer’s serial number and MAC Address are on the rear panel.
Meyer Sound recommends the following browsers: Internet Explorer, Apple Safari, Google
Chrome, or Mozilla Firefox.
2. Log in to RMServer's web server with the default user name and password: admin

3. Click the BASIC SETTINGS tab.
4. Enter the desired IPv4 network address in the Static IP Address fields.
5. Click Save.
6. Click Logout then reboot RMServer. The new IPv4 address will be used after RMServer
reboots.
For more information on changing RMServer's IP address, see the Compass RMS Hardware
Guide (PN 05.222.006.01 Rev. A) available at www.meyersound.com
