Network Source Considerations
When selecting sources to play over the network, you should
observe these considerations.
• A zone stereo, such as the Apollo SRX400, can create or join
a group to control and play sources from other stereos, but it
cannot share its sources with the group.
• You cannot share an AirPlay source with grouped stereos.
Using AirPlay 2 software, you can play content on multiple
stereos on the network, but the stereos must not be grouped
(Apple AirPlay®, page 3).
• You can disable sharing on most sources by changing the
PARTYBUS ENABLED setting for the source. When
disabled, the source cannot be selected from a grouped
stereo (General Settings, page 5).
• When audio sources are shared over a data network, there is
a slight delay in the synchronized audio that may be
noticeable if you are also using an external audio source.
◦ If you have a television with an Optical Out connection to
the stereo and you continue to use the television
speakers, there will be a delay between the audio from the
television speakers and the optical audio synchronized on
the grouped stereos.
4 UPnP Playback

◦ If you synchronize a radio station and tune that same
radio station on a non-networked stereo, there will be a
delay between the audio from the non-networked stereo
and the audio from the radio station synchronized on the
grouped stereos.
◦ You can remove this delay by changing the PARTYBUS
ENABLED setting for the source, but the source cannot be
shared with grouped stereos.

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 6).
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.

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.
Advanced Network Configuration
You can perform advanced networking tasks on a Fusion
PartyBus device, such as defining DHCP ranges and setting
static IP addresses.
Setting the Fusion PartyBus Device as the DHCP Server
If you connected more than two network devices together using
a network switch or wireless access point but you did not install
a router, you should configure only one Fusion PartyBus stereo
to be a DHCP server.
NOTICE
Having more than one DHCP server on the network causes
instability and poor performance for all devices on the network.
NOTE: If you have set up this stereo as a WI-FI ACCESS
POINT, it is configured as a DHCP server by default, and no
further settings changes are needed (Setting the Fusion
PartyBus Device as a Wireless Access Point, page 6).
NOTE: Although the Fusion PartyBus devices can communicate
with each other without a DHCP server on the network, the
devices take longer to connect to each other when you first turn
them on. It is highly recommended to have one properly-
configured DHCP server on the network for the best results.

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.

connections. If possible, you should connect devices to the
network using an Ethernet cable.
• You may experience wireless interference if there are many
nearby wireless access points. Change the channel on your
router or wireless access point to test for and correct
interference.
• Connecting a Bluetooth device to a stereo configured as a
wireless access point or client may reduce wireless
performance. Disconnect Bluetooth devices to test for and
correct interference.
• If you configured static IP addresses, verify that every device
has a unique IP address, that the first three sets of numbers
in the IP addresses match, and that the subnet masks on
every device are identical.
• If you have made configuration changes that might be
causing networking issues, reset all network settings to the
factory default values.
