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.

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.

).
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 (
).
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 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.
