Procedure

The MP-M mixer can be controlled using the MP Manage application running on a mobile device (mobile phone or tablet).  In order for popper operation, the system administrator or system integrator must first setup the different user profiles using MP Install. Once the profiles have been setup, the system administrator or system integrator must then assign a profile to the mobile phone or tablet using the MP Manage software logging in as the Manager.  Below is a list of procedure to assist with the setup and management of the Smartphone Access Profile.

Setting up an Smartphone Access Profile in MP Install

The following steps are assuming MP Install is open on a PC computer or tablet and has an established network connection to an MP-M Mixer to set up a Smartphone Access Profile. The MP-M Administrator can only make these changes. 

 

  1. Navigate to Menu > Security
  2. Verify and/or Change Password for MP Manage.  The default password: Access 

    Note

    This password will be required in the MP Manage App to assign or remove Smartphone Access Profiles from a user’s IOS or Android mobile device.

     
  3. Navigate to Menu > Smartphone Access Profiles.
  4. Select User Profile from left column.
  5. Assign Zones and Access Control functions to the specific user profiles and click SAVE.

Troubleshooting

·         MP Manage App states it is OFFLINE

o   Check to make sure the mobile device is on the same network as the MP Mixer.

o   The network is blocking Bonjour (a network discovery protocol) and preventing the mixer from being discovered.  Seek assistance from the site’s Network Administrator.

·         Password Button is the only button that is selectable when launching the MP Manage App:

o   Controls may not have been saved to the User Profile in MP Install

o   Mobile device is only setup for the “Manager” profile.  Enter the “Manager” password and change the Profile Assignment. (See “Changing assigned Profile”) 

·         A control button is grayed out and cannot adjust the control

o   The control was not assigned to the User Profile.  The system Administrator will need to make that change in MP Install.
