Fusion Apollo SRX400 Installation Instructions

devices are Wi‑Fi
®
compatible. You can connect them to
wireless routers or access points.
• If you install a wireless router on the network, it should be
configured to be the DHCP server by default. See your
wireless router instructions for more information.
• If you are not using a wireless router, you can configure this
device as a wireless access point, so you can connect other
devices within wireless range.
NOTE: You should not configure this device as a wireless
access point if you have a router installed on the network,
because it may introduce DHCP conflicts and result in poor
network performance.
• If you connect a Fusion PartyBus device to the network as a
WI-FI CLIENT, you cannot connect any additional wired
Fusion PartyBus devices to that device.
• You can connect a smartphone to the wireless network to
control any stereo on the network using the Fusion-Link
™
app.
• You can connect an Apple
®
device to the wireless network to
stream media to multiple stereos on the network using Apple
AirPlay
®
2.
• Connecting a Bluetooth
®
device to the stereo may interfere
with some Wi‑Fi connections.
• Wi‑Fi signals may interfere with Bluetooth device
connections. You should turn off the Wi‑Fi setting on your
stereo if you are not using it to connect to a wireless network
or to provide a wireless access point.

Constructing a Network
You should have a basic understanding of networking when
building a network for Fusion PartyBus devices.
These instructions guide you through the basics of building and
configuring a network, and should apply to most situations. If
you need to perform advanced networking tasks, such as
assigning static IP addresses to devices on the network or
configuring advanced settings on a connected router, you may
need to consult a networking professional.
1
Determine the installation location of the Fusion PartyBus
devices you want to connect to the network.
NOTE: Wired connections are more reliable than wireless
connections. When planning your network, you should run
network cables instead of using wireless connections when
possible.
2
Determine the installation location of any needed network
routers or switches.
3
Route Cat5e or Cat6 network cable to the installation
locations of the stereos, switches, and router.
4
Connect the network cables to the stereos, switches, and
router.
NOTICE
Do not completely install the stereos yet. You should test the
network before you install the stereos.
5
Turn on all devices connected to the network, including
wireless devices.
6
Select an option:
• If you are using a network router (wired or wireless),
consult the documentation provided with your router to
configure the router as the DHCP server, if necessary.
When using a router as the DHCP server, all stereos on
the network should use their default configuration (DHCP
client).
• If you are not using a wireless router, you should configure
a stereo as a wireless access point, if necessary (Setting
the Fusion PartyBus Device as a Wireless Access Point,
page 5). Configuring a stereo as a wireless access
point makes that stereo the DHCP server, and all of the
other stereos on the network should use their default
configuration (DHCP client).
• If you are not using a network router, not using a stereo as
a wireless access point, and there are no other DHCP
servers on the network, you should configure one of the
stereos as the DHCP server (Setting the Fusion PartyBus
Device as the DHCP Server, page 5).
