Fusion Apollo MS-SRX400 User Manual

Setting the Fusion PartyBus Device as a Wireless Access Point
Before you can connect additional Fusion PartyBus devices or smartphones to a Fusion PartyBus device
wirelessly, you must configure one device as a wireless access point. This is not necessary if you installed a
wireless router or other wireless access point on the network.
NOTE: You should not configure this device as a wireless access point if you have a router installed on the
network. Doing so may introduce DHCP conflicts and result in poor network performance.
1 Select > SETTINGS > NETWORK > WI-FI ACCESS POINT.
2 Select an option:
• To use factory-assigned default access point settings, select USE DEFAULTS, and wait for the device to
save the network settings.
NOTE: After the default settings are saved, you can scroll down to the bottom of the NETWORK menu to
view the SSID and password assigned to the access point.
• To customize the access point name and security settings, select ADVANCED, and proceed to the next
step.
3 Select SSID, and change the default SSID, or name, for the wireless access point.
4 Select AP SECURITY, and change the security type for the access point.
NOTE: It is strongly recommended that you use the WPA2 PERSONAL AP SECURITY setting. It is the most
widely-used and secure wireless security protocol.
5 Select PASSWORD, and change the default password for the access point.
6 If necessary, select COUNTRY, and select your region.
7 Select CHANNEL, and select a channel range for the access point (optional).
8 Select SAVE.
You can adjust the wireless access point configuration at any time (Wireless Access Point Settings,
page 15).
NOTE: When you configure the stereo as a wireless access point, you can also use the wired network
connection without changing any additional settings. The wired and wireless networks are bridged.
Wireless Access Point Settings
Select > SETTINGS > NETWORK > ADVANCED > WI-FI ACCESS POINT.
NOTE: You must configure the device to be a wireless access point before you can change the settings (Setting
the Fusion PartyBus Device as a Wireless Access Point, page 15).
SSID: Sets the SSID, or name, for the network.
AP SECURITY: Sets the type of wireless security protocol used by the access point.
NOTE: It is strongly recommended that you set the AP SECURITY using WPA2 PERSONAL. It is the most
widely-used and secure wireless security protocol.
PASSWORD: Sets the password for the access point. This is not available when the AP SECURITY setting is
set to NONE.
COUNTRY: Sets the region where the stereo is located. Different regions may use different channels on the
wireless spectrum, so you should set this to best accommodate local wireless devices.
CHANNEL: Sets the access point to use a group of channels in the high, low, or middle range of the available
spectrum for your region. You may experience better performance if you set the channel in a range with
fewer broadcasting access points.
DHCP SERVER: Sets the device to act as a wireless access point and the DHCP server on the network.
WPS: Initiates a Wi‑Fi Protected Setup (WPS) connection. Devices with a WPS button or setting can connect to
the access point on this stereo when the WPS connection is active.
NOTE: It can take up to two minutes to successfully connect to the access point after you select WPS.
