There are two things that must be done at the time of installation of this product that require a working internet connection:
1. Enter valid Russound Certied Installer credentials. The XSource is shipped in a locked state. It cannot be operated
without rst being congured by a Russound Certied Installer.
If you are a custom installation professional and wish to become authorized as a Russound Certied Installer, please contact
your Russound Sales Representative for more information.
Note: If you are a Russound Certied Installer and you plan on installing this product on a job site that may not have working
internet access, please congure the unit at your shop or other location where internet access is available BEFORE you take it to
the job site.
2. Firmware may be updated easily through Web Cong conguration. An internet connection is required for obtaining
the most recent rmware.
Note: If an internet connection will not be available at the place of installation, please download the latest rmware from the
Russound website to a laptop before going to the job site.

When the XSource is shipped from Russound, it will only operate
in a "locked" state. In this state, no audio or control is available.
In order to unlock the system, valid Russound Certied Installer
credentials must be entered using the Web Cong.
When the XSource is rst powered on, a message will appear
on any compatible user interfaces and the MyRussound App
indicating that the device must be unlocked. The message
will contain the IP address of the controller. Using your mobile
device or computer, browse to the controller’s IP address (type
http:// and then the IP address).
If you are using the MyRussound App, the IP address appears
as a link that will direct you to Web Cong via your local web
browser.
If you do not have a valid Russound Certied Installer
credential, please contact your Russound Sales Representative.
