Network Configuration TIP: You can select the network status icon from any screen to open the network configuration menu. 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 or wireless access point and did not install a router, you must configure only one Fusion PartyBus stereo to be the DHCP server. 1 Select > > > > NETWORK > ADVANCED > ETHERNET IP > STATIC IP > SAVE . 2 Select > > > > NETWORK > ADVANCED > DHCP SERVER > DHCP ENABLED > SAVE . You can configure the IP address range of the DHCP server ( DHCP Settings , page 21). 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. 1 Select > > > > NETWORK > WI-FI ACCESS POINT . 2 Select SSID , and change the default SSID, or name, for the wireless access point (optional). 3 Select AP SECURITY , and change the security type for the access point (optional).

4 Select SAVE . Advanced Network Configuration
You can perform advanced networking tasks on a Fusion PartyBus device, such as defining DHCP ranges and setting static IP addresses. Wireless Access Point Settings Select > > > > 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 21). 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 ( DHCP Settings , page 21). 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. DHCP Settings Select > > > > NETWORK > ADVANCED > DHCP SERVER . DHCP ENABLED : Sets the device as the DHCP server on the network. START IP : Sets the first IP address in the IP-address range of the DHCP server. END IP : Sets the final IP address in the IP-address range of the DHCP server. Setting a Static IP Address If the stereo is configured as a DHCP server, it is automatically assigned the IP address of 192.168.0.1. You can change this IP address. If the stereo is a client on the network and you do not want the DHCP server to automatically assign an IP address to the stereo, you can set a static IP address. NOTE: Every device on the network must have a unique IP address. If you select a static IP address that is the same as the IP address on the network, the devices will not work properly. 1 Select > > > > NETWORK > ADVANCED > WI-FI IP > STATIC IP .
