ℹ️
Make sure audio volume is controlled at the source prior to connecting to the DVOX unit (inputs are standardized at 0 gain).
Step 3: Plug the Ethernet Cable to DVOX LAN Port
Connect the provided Cat6 Ethernet cable from the LAN port of the DVOX unit to your network.
Step 4: Turn On Your Device
The unit is ready to be turned on with the power switch near the power cable connector. The arrow light indicator will light up to indicate power on.
