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 not using a network router (wired or wireless),
configure one FUSION PartyBus device to be the DHCP
server (Setting the FUSION PartyBus Device as the
DHCP Server
, page
6)
. All other stereos should use
their default configuration (automatic IP).
• 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. All
stereos should use their default configuration (automatic
IP).
7
Configure a stereo as a wireless access point, if necessary
(Setting the FUSION PartyBus Device as a Wireless Access
Point
, page
6)
.
8
Configure a FUSION PartyBus stereo or zone stereo to
connect to a wireless access point or router, if necessary
(Connecting the FUSION PartyBus Device to a Wireless
Access Point, page 6)
.
9
Test the network by viewing the list of FUSION PartyBus
devices from each device on the network and select an
option:
• If any FUSION PartyBus devices are not available to the
network, troubleshoot the network (Network
Troubleshooting, page 7)
.
• If all FUSION PartyBus devices are available to the
network, complete the installation for each stereo, if
necessary.
Network Configuration
Setting the FUSION PartyBus Device as the DHCP Server
If you connected two FUSION PartyBus devices together
directly, or connected more than two together using a network
switch and did not install a router, you must configure only one
FUSION PartyBus stereo to be the DHCP server.

NETWORK > ADVANCED > DHCP
SERVER > ENABLED > APPLY
.
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 at least 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.

static IP addresses. See the owner's manual for more
information.
