Russound XSource Installation Guide

Key Programming Features

The XSource has a programming feature called Web Config. 

Web Config is an onboard hosted web page used for 

unlocking and configuring the XSource. Web Config can 

be accessed by entering the IP address or Hostname in an 

internet browser on a smartphone, tablet, or laptop that is 

connected to the same network as the XSource. Using Web 

Config, the XSource can be completely configured, quickly 

and easily, from the palm of your hand. 
Note: When used with a Russound controller, additional 

configuration may be required for complex installations via 

the Russound SCS-C5 software on a PC.
For more information, refer to the installation manual of your 

specific Russound controller.

Web Config Features
