In order to use the Extender in a wireless Pronto Network: • Configure the Extender: connect it to the PC and use the Configuration Tool. • Install the Extender: connect it to external AV-equipment, like a TV or receiver. The Extender can be used in two ways: Stand-alone Mode This is the so-called ‘Ad-Hoc Mode’: a router is not required. Stand-alone Advantages: • The Extender is easily configured and installed. • It operates independently from other networks and network settings. Refer to the chapter ‘Stand-alone Connection’ on page 4 to configure the Extender in Stand-alone Mode. Note If you want to use the Escient Fireball audio server in combination with one or more Extenders, the Extenders have to be configured in Network Mode. Network Mode This is the so-called ‘Infrastructure Mode’: the Extender is used in a network with a router. Network Advantages: •A network allows the use of repeaters, which enlarges the range of the Pronto System. • When using a dedicated Pronto Network, the Extender can operate independently from settings in other networks. • The Extender in Network Mode can be given a fixed IP address, which increases reliability. • The network connection can be encrypted. Refer to the chapter ‘Network Connection’ on page 4 to configure the Extender in Network Mode. ENGLISH Note An Extender that has been configured in Stand-alone Mode can always be reconfigured for use in Network Mode and vice versa. You can use up to 16 different Extenders in the same Pronto Network.
