ENGLISH IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Danger Exposure to extremely high noise levels may cause a permanent hearing loss. Individuals vary considerably to noise induced hearing loss but nearly everyone will lose some hearing if exposed to sufficiently intense noise for a sufficient time. The U.S. Government's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has specified the following permissible noise level exposures: DURATION PER DAY (HOURS) 8 6 4 3 2 1 SOUND LEVEL (dB) 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.
FRENCH IMPORTANTES INSTRUCTIONS DE SECURITE Danger L‘exposition a des niveaux eleves de bruit peut provoquer une perte permanente de l’audition, Chaque organisme humain reagit differemment quant a la perte de l’audition, mais quasiment tout le monde subit une diminution de I’acuite auditive lors d’une exposition suffisamment longue au bruit intense.

Introduction The NV-NV-MPS4, or Music Port Server is designed to fully communicate with the NuVo Essentia, Grand Concerto and Renovia Distributed Audio Systems through its NuVoNet communication protocol. Properly installing the Music Port Server as a source component will provide full browsing to all of your personal music (both through iTunes and Media Player) as well as online Internet radio.

Ethernet: This RJ45 port allows the Music Port Server to connect to the home’s network.
I. Installing the NV-MPS4 as Part of a NuVo Distributed Audio System The NV-MPS4 will fully communicate as a NuVoNet audio component with a few simple connections. Locate the NV-MPS4 component with the main component of the NuVo Distributed Audio System. Make all the connections first and plug it into an AC power source and press the Power button on the front panel. The NV-MPS4 operating system will automatically boot up.
If you are installing the Music Port Server with a Renovia System, plug the CAT5 directly into one of the three “NuVoNet” inputs on the back panel of the Renovia Source Hub, Fig. 3. Fig. 3 USB USB ETHERNET Passthrough RS232 To NuVo RS232 NuVoNet SYSTEM II. Accessing the Remote Configuration Tool The Remote Configuration Tool is a quick, easy setup for the operation of the Music Port Server. Once configured, it will be fully operational with any of the NuVoNet Audio Distribution Systems.
Understanding the LAN Error LED The front panel of the NV-MPS4 has a red LED designed to alert you to communication issues across its network, Fig. 5. The state of the LED indicates the nature of the problem. LED not lit: This indicates good communication. No problem is found. LED solid red: A cable connection at the “Ethernet” port on the back panel is not detected. LED blinking twice: There is no WAN, Wide Area Network detected or no Internet connectivity.
Finding the IP Address for the NV-MPS4 If the “music-port” name does not connect, you can look up the IP address assigned to the Music Port Server and type that into the browser address bar, i.e.. 192.168.0.124/config, Fig. 7. Fig. 7 To find the address, go to the Menu of a Control Pad in the System. Choose one of the Music Port Server outputs from a Control Pad. In the Menu, go to “Source Options” and then select “Source Info”. You will then see the selection “IP Address”.
III. Setting Up the NV-NV-MPS4 through the Remote Configuration Tool Once you have opened the Remote Configuration Tool, setup of the Music Port Server is easy. Machine Settings The first tab of the setup utility is Machine Settings. The choices to note here are the Name Identification, time zone settings, for monitoring the correct time from the web, and a choice of automatically configuring the NV-MPS4 on the home’s network or assigning a static IP address.
Wired Ethernet: The default is to let the network automatically supply an address to the Music Port Server when is connected through the “Ethernet” port. If you choose, you can assign a static address using this drop-down menu, Fig. 12. Logging: This section is for technical support. If instructed to do so by a technical support person, you can upload log files to NuVo Technical support for troubleshooting purposes. When the “Machine Settings” choices are made, click “Save Changes” Fig.
Content: Here is where you set the streaming capabilities of the Music Port Server. Supply the user account information in each of the provider sections that apply to the intended use of the NV-MPS4, Fig. 14. Once this information is entered, click “Save Changes”. Fig. 14 3 Pandora Radio: Pandora is a free Internet music streaming service. Once you have created a Pandora account from your computer, you simply enter your account information into the Pandora Radio section of the Content page.
Firmware: This tab allows you to update the firmware, load the computer based Music Port Client control, and setup music sharing with the Music Port Server, Fig. 15. Fig. 15 Firmware Update: This download utility will prompt you when a new version is available. When you click on the supplied link, the newest version will automatically update the NV-MPS4. If “No firmware update is currently available” appears, no further action is necessary.
IV. Loading and Using the Music Port Sync Tool The Music Port Sync Tool is a powerful application that allows any user network PC to contribute music to the Music Port Server hard drive. Loading the Music Port Sync Tool: You will find a link to the Music Port Sync Tool executable file in the Firmware tab of the Remote Configuration Tool. Click on the link and open the file, Fig. 16. You will be prompted to save the .exe file to a folder or run it from its current location. Fig.
Summary: The Summary tab provides overview of the Music Port Server. Here you will see the current operating version and IP address, Fig. 18. The Summary tab will provide a progress report of any music sync activity. Fig. 18 iTunes: This tab points to the actual library on the user’s hard drive, and syncs the chosen content with the Music Port Server. Under “Sync Settings”, you have the choice to “Automatically update iTunes music”.
Windows Media: The Windows Media tab works like the iTunes tab. The choices and actions taken by the Music Port Server are identical. The difference is that the Sync Tool is looking at the content in Windows Media Player. It is possible to share content both from iTunes and Media Player, Fig. 20. Fig. 20 Advanced: Rather than sharing music from a specific iTunes or Media Player library, you can point directly to a music folder or directory on the network.
