1. Hardware Preparation
! Make all connections prior to powering up.
a. Connect the server and amplier to the network.
If you have multiple ampliers, connect only the rst
amplier to the network. (See fig. 5 labeled “Stacking Amps”)
(g. 1)
(g. 2)
(g. 3)
b. Connect the coax digital output (labeled “Main” on
the Mirage Media Server) to the rst digital input on
the Mirage Amplier.
c. Connect the source inputs to the analog outputs in order.

d. Press the power button on the Mirage Media Server. The
Mirage Amplier will power on when plugged in.
We recommend attaching a display when you rst power
up the Mirage Media Server as the IP address will be on
screen.
e. Wait 2-3 minutes for the server to run the initial boot up.
f. If your server is connected to a video display, wait until
the Now Playing screen shows.

If the system contains multiple
Mirage ampliers, attach a standard
straight-through CAT5 cable from
the upper Expansion Port on the rst
amplier to the lower Expansion Port
on the subsequent amplier.
Additionally, for each source attach
a coax RCA cable from the sources
digital output on the rst amplier to
the digital input on the next amplier
in the chain and so forth. Repeat for
each amplier in the chain.

The MAC address of the amp can

the unit in the lower right corner.
The MAC address of the server can
be found on the Server Settings tab
of the server’s web conguration
listed next to ‘Wired Ethernet’.

2. Network and Software Conguration
Download the Mirage Media Controller App.
The Mirage Audio System integrates with most major
home control systems. Control modules are available at:
www.autonomic-controls.com/support_downloads.php
Control Options
a. Connect to the Server at: http://<server-ip or network name>/
cong/. If using an MMS-5A, the default network name is
MIRAGE-1. If using an MMS-2A, the default network name
is MMS-2. For example, http://MMS-2/cong. If the default
name does not work, you may have to use the IP address
c. Once all devices have set IP addresses, navigate to the
server’s Source Settings tab, found on the server’s web
conguration. The server will auto-discover ampliers on
the same network and display them in the ‘Audio System’
drop-down menu.
d. Once the amplier has been selected, congure the
source mapping by selecting the amplier input from the
drop-down menu for each MMS output. This conguration
must match the physical conguration of the audio cables
from the Mirage Media Server to Mirage amp.
Connect to Mirage Web Conguration
Network Setup Conguring the Mirage Media Server & Amplier
Conguring the Mirage Media Server & Amplier
Refer to the Mirage Media Server Manual for step-by-step congura-
tion of the MMS Server.
If wired per diagram (g 4) default options can be accepted.
assigned to the server by your router instead. Both servers
display their IP address on their video output during boot.
NOTE: On some computers (especially Macs) you will
need to add the .local sufx to the end of the server
name. (example: http://Mirage-1.local/cong)
b. First, setup the IP address. For system stability, each
networked device must always remain at the same IP
address. We strongly recommend the use of DHCP
reservations based on MAC address. If reservations are not
possible, static IP addresses outside the DHCP range is the
next best option. Leaving the units on unreserved DHCP is
not supported as the server and the amp must be able to
reliably reach each other over IP and there is a chance for
one or the other to change IP addresses.

3. KP-iOS and KP-1 Keypad Conguration
a. The KP-iOS is powered by a
straight-through CAT-5 cable
connected to the controller
ports on the back of any Mirage
amplier in the stack (fig 4). Any
keypad port can be used - order
does not matter. The KP-iOS
connects to the Mirage Audio
System for control over Wi-.
Alternatively, the KP-iOS can
be powered locally with 15V at
2A through the 2-pin Phoenix
connector located on the back of
the keypad.
b. Load the Mirage iOS application
onto the iPod and open the Settings
app on your iPod. Navigate to the
Mirage application in the list.
(g. 11)
(g. 12)
(g. 13)
c. Set Stay Connected to On (g 12). This
will ensure that the Mirage app
doesn’t disconnect from the server.
d. Set Dock Mode to On (g. 12). This
will keep the iPod from going to
sleep, allowing a simple tap on
screen to access the app.
e. Set Sleep & Wake with Zone to On
(g. 12). This will dim the screen
automatically when the zone is
turned off.
f. Set Hardware Dimming to On (g. 12).
This will shut off the screen when
the zone is turned off rather than
display a black page.
g. Set the Default Zone based on the
location of the device. Open the
Mirage App, then from the Zones
screen Tap the gear icon.
KP-1 conguration can be found
in the KP-1 manual located here:
http://www.autonomic-controls.
com/support_downloads.php
It may be desirable to prevent your customers from leaving the Mirage app. To
accomplish this, we recommend taking advantage of an iOS feature called Guided
Access. This can be congured to require a PIN in order to leave the congured area
or the Mirage app.
4th Gen iPod
a. To access this setting, navigate to the iPod’s Settings app, then General, then
Accessibility.
b. Under Learning, select Guided Access.
c. Set Guided Access to On.
d. Once Guided Access is congured, open the Mirage app normally. Then triple-tap
the home button on the iPod.
e. The Guided Access menu will appear. Select the Start option to congure Guided
Access.
f. Repeat the process to end Guided Access in order to exit the Mirage App.
Note: The KP-iOS requires a fourth
generation iPod with the standard
30 pin connector
