What you can do using ProVisionaire Touch

• Using ProVisionaire Touch, you can use your tablet device to intuitively place widgets such as sliders, buttons, and photos on the page (screen) to create an original touch control panel that fits the requirements of your

installation and your needs, all without requiring any special programming.

• Since you can create multiple design pages, a separate control panel could be created for each area and user,

or you can create design pages for specific presets or parameter states. You can restrict access to control panels and design pages, ensuring secure and convenient operation of the controller.

• Data for a completed control panel can be exported as a file, allowing you to use the same controller for multiple

units, or you can save the data as a template and use or share it with other systems. This lets you create controllers efficiently and conveniently.

• Since connection with the target system occurs via Wi-Fi, the tablet device does not have to be mounted on the

wall; it can be operated while held in the hand, and used as a convenient remote controller.

• You can create a settings file for ProVisionaire Touch Kiosk, which is optimized for remote control (subsequently

referred to as Kiosk).

When reading this document

The term “preset” appearing in explanations of the screens and functions of this application is used in two different senses: “images and materials provided for you to use in a color palette” and “preset data managed by the processors of the MTX/MRX system.” For clarity, the word “preset” is used to denote the first sense (provided materials), and [Preset] denotes the second (preset data of the MTX/MRX system). Keep this in mind as you read.

Wi-Fi access point settings Connecting to the target system

Specify the Wi-Fi access point as described in the owner’s manual of each device. Although there is no need to make special settings, we recommend that you use security such as WPA in order to prevent unauthorized access to the network from outside. Guidelines for settings are provided below.

1. Specify the name of the Wi-Fi network.

2. Specify the security mode (e.g., WPA2) and password.

3. Select the wireless mode. (such as 802.11n or 802.11g)

4. If possible, enable “Auto Channel Selection.”

The wireless channel with the least interference will be selected. For the fastest communication between the iPad and the Wi-Fi access point, we recommend that you select an 802.11n network. If you use multiple external antennas, it will be easier to connect to the Wi-Fi access point. In addition, we recommend that you make stealth mode and MAC address filter settings to increase security.

Use CAT5e cables to connect the target system with the Wi-Fi access point. Include an Ethernet switch in the system if necessary. To convey audio signals, connect the ST IN of the MTX or MRX to the AUX OUT or ANALOG OUT of the MusicCast device or to the OMNI OUT of the Disklavier.

 Example network settings for other than the iPad

1. Check the IP address setting (IP SETTING) of the

devices in the target system.

On the rear panel of the unit, make sure that DIP switch 6 is set to UNIT ID (upward position). The IP address will be specified by the UNIT ID, and will be “192.168.0.(UNIT ID).”

6. Specify the IP addresses of devices other than the

MTX/MRX system.

When making settings in Windows, use the following method. Make sure that the IP addresses do not conflict with the IP addresses of other devices. The recommended range is “192.168.0.100”-“192.168.0.149.”

1 Hold down the <Windows> key and press the <E> key.

2. On the computer that’s using MTX-MRX Editor, make

settings so that the IP address will be obtained automatically (DHCP).

3. Change the IP address of the Wi-Fi access point.

Set the Wi-Fi access point to the same network (subnet) as the target system. We recommend that you use “192.168.0.254” as the IP address of the Wi-Fi access point. Connect the computer to the Wi-Fi access point, and change it from the computer’s web browser. For details on how to make this change, refer to the manual of the Wi-Fi access point.

4. Set the router to automatically assign IP addresses

(DHCP).

Make sure that the IP addresses do not conflict with the devices of the MTX/MRX system. The recommended range is “192.168.0.150” – ”192.168.0.200.” For details on how to make this change, refer to the manual of the router built into the Wi-Fi access point.

5. Connect devices other than the MTX/MRX system to

the network.

The Explorer opens.

2 In the left side of the Explorer, click “Network.”

The devices connected to the network are shown.

3 Double-click the icon of a device that is shown in the

“Media Devices” or “Other Devices” area.

The browser starts, letting you make settings for the device.

4 Specify the IP address.

• For a MusicCast device: In the network settings screen, select “Wired” or “Wired LAN,” turn [DHCP] off, and spec- ify the IP address and subnet mask.

• For a Disklavier: Go to [Settings] [Network] [Wired Network] [Use DHCP] to specify manual settings, specify the IP address and subnet mask, and click [Send]. [Send] might not be visible unless you scroll.

 Example network settings for the iPad

1. In the home screen of the iPad, tap [Settings]  [Wi-Fi].

2. Turn the [Wi-Fi] switch On ( ), and from the access

point list that appears, select the access point of the target system.

3. Enter the password of the Wi-Fi access point.

4. Make network settings.

 If obtaining the IP address automatically

1. Select [DHCP].

 If specifying the IP address manually (when it can-

not be obtained automatically)

1. Select [Static].

2. Verify that “IP Address,” “Subnet Mask,” “Router,” and “DNS” are set.

3. Click the home button to complete the settings.

2. In “IP Address,” enter the IP address of the target system, changing only the fourth octet (in the illustration above, “200”).

3. In “Subnet Mask,” enter “255.255.255.0.”

4. In “Router,” enter the IP address of the router or the IP address of the Wi-Fi access point.

5. In “DNS,” enter the IP address of the DNS or the IP address of the Wi-Fi access point.

6. Click the home button to complete the settings.

 Tips for network settings

1. The IP addresses of the devices you’re connecting must be set to the same subnetwork.

2. Connect the target system to a LAN port of the Wi-Fi access point. If you connect it to the Ethernet port (WAN port), it will be impossible to communicate correctly between the smart device and the target system.

3. Start ProVisionaire Touch. ProVisionaire Touch detects the target system and connects automatically.
