SETUP In order to use the products, setup is required. Set up the products using the Web GUI “RM-WAP Device Manager”. Prepare the following. • Computer • LAN cable • PoE powered network switch • RM-WAP • RM-WCH (required for using the AUTO SETUP function) • Microphones (RM-WOM, RM-WDR, RM-WGL or RM-WGS) Starting RM-WAP Device Manager 1. Download the application “RM Device Finder” from the Yamaha website (U.S.A. and Canada: https://uc.yamaha.com/support/, Other countries: https://download.yamaha.
5. Specify a password in the password settings window, and then click the [SET PASSWORD] button. 6. Type the password into the login window, and then click the [LOGIN] button. The [HOME] window appears.
SITE SURVEY Before installing the products, use the SITE SURVEY function in RM-WAP Device Manager to measure the signal in the area. With the SITE SURVEY function, you can check the number of microphones that can be used in the measured area. The SITE SURVEY function is available via [TOOLS][SITE SURVEY] (Page 33). IMPORTANT: If radio frequency interference occurs, there may be no sound from the microphones or the microphone connection may be unexpectedly cut.
2. Follow the wizard’s instructions to continue the setup. [1 Site Survey] Check the contents of the window, and then click the [CONTINUE] button. The window shows the number of microphones that can be used in the installation environment. It also shows the signal strength in the installation environment and the channel usage status.
NOTE: • You can also click the title of the next window (in this case, [2 General Settings]) to display the next window. • Once the window has been displayed, the circled number in the window title is replaced with title where the circled number has been replaced with displays that window again.
