FUSION PartyBus Networking

The FUSION PartyBus networking feature allows you to connect
multiple compatible stereos together on a network, using a
combination of wired or wireless connections.

The Apollo RA670 stereo does not have built-in Wi‑Fi
technology. To use the wireless functions of the FUSION
PartyBus network, you must connect the stereo to the FUSION
PartyBus network using a wired ethernet connection, and then
connect a Wi‑Fi access point or router to the FUSION PartyBus
network.

A FUSION PartyBus stereo, such as the Apollo RA670 stereo,
can stream sources to other FUSION PartyBus stereos
connected to the network. Connected FUSION PartyBus stereos
can also control media playback on the FUSION PartyBus
stereo.

A FUSION PartyBus zone stereo, such as an Apollo SRX400
zone stereo can stream from a FUSION PartyBus stereo, but
cannot stream sources to other FUSION PartyBus stereos on
the network.

FUSION PartyBus stereos cannot control the speaker volume of
another stereo. You can adjust the volume of speakers or
speaker zones connected directly to the stereo only.

In the image above, one Apollo RA670 stereo connects to a
wireless router and to two Apollo SRX400 zone stereos .

A FUSION PartyBus zone stereo, such as the Apollo SRX400,
controls the volume in a single speaker zone . A FUSION
PartyBus stereo, such as an Apollo RA670 stereo, controls the

®

volume on multiple speaker zones to cover a larger area with
that stereo.

FUSION-Link™ Network Technology

FUSION-Link network technology allows you to fully control
compatible FUSION entertainment systems on compatible multi­function displays installed at the helm, flybridge, or navigation
station of the vessel. This provides integrated entertainment
control and a less cluttered console.

The partnered multi-function display becomes the portal on
which you can control all audio on the vessel, no matter where
on the vessel the connected stereo is installed. The FUSION­Link equipped stereo can be installed out of sight if space is an

10 Additional Stereo Control Options

issue and users need to access the stereo only to replace
removable media.

FUSION-Link technology on this device can communicate using
existing industry-standard network connections including
Ethernet and Wi‑Fi wireless technology.

FUSION-Link technology offered on this device can
communicate using existing industry-standard NMEA 2000
networks.

For a list of FUSION-Link capable products from companies
partnered with FUSION, go to www.fusionentertainment.com.

NMEA 2000 Remote Control and Display

The stereo can be controlled by compatible FUSION wired
remote controls installed in the audio zones throughout the
vessel. Operating the entertainment system from the remote
control is similar to operating it from the main stereo.

FUSION wired remote controls operate over an existing NMEA
2000 network, so wiring the remote controls directly to the
stereo is not necessary. All remote controls connected to the
same NMEA 2000 network as the stereo can control the stereo.

If your vessel does not have a NMEA 2000 network, you can
directly connect a single FUSION remote control or create a
FUSION remote control network to connect multiple FUSION
wired remote controls directly to the NMEA 2000 connector on
the stereo. See the installation instructions provided with your
stereo and remote for more information.

The FUSION wired remote control can also serve as an NMEA
display showing NMEA navigation data or vessel performance
data from other NMEA devices on an existing NMEA 2000
network. See the instructions provided with your remote control
for information on supported NMEA 2000 PGN information.

Configuring an Optional Wired Remote

NOTICE

The stereo is configured by default to work with a NMEA 2000
network, and the NRX POWER option should be enabled only
when an optional remote is connected directly to the stereo.
Enabling this option when the stereo is connected to a NMEA
2000 network may damage other devices on the NMEA 2000
network.

If you connect an optional wired NRX remote directly to the
stereo, and not through a NMEA 2000 network , additional
configuration is needed.

Select > SETTINGS > POWER OPTIONS.

1

Select an option:

2

• If you connected both your stereo and your optional wired

remote to a NMEA 2000 network, make sure the NRX
POWER option is not selected. This enables the optional
remote to receive power from the NMEA 2000 network.

• If you connected the optional wired remote directly to the

stereo through the NMEA 2000 connector, select the NRX
POWER option. This enables the stereo to supply power
to the optional remote.

NMEA 2000 Information

NMEA 2000 is the most popular marine standard for data
communication within vessels. It has become the standard for
sending navigation and engine management data within
vessels. FUSION introduces an industry-first product by
incorporating NMEA 2000 functionality in its audio remote
control devices. This enables the user to monitor a series of
NMEA sentences available over the NMEA 2000 network on a
connected remote control.

Go to www.fusionentertainment.com for a full list of supported
NMEA sentences.

The stereo does not display all song information from my Bluetooth source

The availability of song information such as song title, artist
name, track duration, and album cover artwork depends on the
capability of the media player and music application.

Network Troubleshooting

If you cannot see or connect to FUSION PartyBus devices on
the network, check the following:

• Verify that only one device, either a stereo or a router, is
configured as a DHCP server.

• Verify that all FUSION PartyBus devices, network switches,
routers, and wireless access points are connected to the
network and turned on.

• Verify that wireless FUSION PartyBus devices are connected
to a wireless router or wireless access point on the network.

• 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
factory defaults.
