Configuring the Extender
Note Before you start configuring the Extender, check for firmware updates in the Downloads section
on http://www.marantz.com
in the Home Entertainment section of your region.
Refer to the chapter ‘Firmware Update’ on page 9 for further details.
Stand-alone Connection
To configure the Stand-alone Extender:
1 Plug in the Extender’s power adapter.
The Extender will start up. When start-up has finished, the Power and WiFi LEDs are green.
2 Use the default switch settings of the Extender:
Note • If there is already an Extender with ID 0, set the Extender ID switch to an ID that is not
used yet.
• If there is any interference with other products in or around the house, the
Configuration switch can be set to a different RF channel.
• Make sure the same Extender ID and RF channel are used on the Extender and the
Control Panel.
3 Configure the Control Panel’s configuration file so that the Control Panel can work
with the Extender. For more details, refer to the Wizz.it Ex Online Help.
