FUSION PartyBus™ Networking

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

A FUSION PartyBus stereo, such as an RV-IN1501 stereo, can stream sources to other FUSION PartyBus devices connected to the network. Connected FUSION PartyBus devices 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 devices on the network.

You can connect up to eight FUSION PartyBus devices on a network wirelessly.

A list of wireless access points within rage appears. Select the FUSION PartyBus wireless access point.

Select an option:

• To enter the password, select PASSWORD, enter the

password, and select .

• If you are connecting to the wireless access point using WPS, verify that WPS has been enabled on the access point, and select WPS.

NOTE: It can take up to two minutes to successfully connect to the access point after you select WPS.

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 Fusion Media > > 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 20).

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 widelyused 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 20).

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 Fusion Media > > 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.

Select Fusion Media > > NETWORK > ADVANCED > WI-

FI IP > STATIC IP.

Select an option:

• To set the IP address, select IP, and enter the IP address.

• To set the subnet mask, select MASK, and enter the

subnet mask. NOTE: The subnet mask must match all other devices on

the network to work properly. A typical subnet mask is

255.255.255.0.

• To set the default gateway IP address, select GATEWAY,

and enter the gateway IP address. NOTE: The default gateway is typically set as the IP

address of the DHCP server on the network.

Select Save.

Resetting Network Settings

You can reset all network settings for this stereo to the factory default values.

Select Fusion Media > > NETWORK > RESET > YES.

Additional Stereo Control Options

FUSION-Link Wireless Remote Control App

Map and Software Updates

For the best navigation experience, you should keep the maps and software on your device up to date.

Map updates provide the newest available changes to roads and locations in the maps used by your device. Keeping maps up to date helps your device find recently added locations and calculate more accurate routes. Map updates are large and may take several hours to complete.

Software updates provide changes and improvements to the device features and operation. Software updates are small and take a few minutes to complete.

You can update your device using two methods.

• You can connect the device to a Wi‑Fi network to update

directly on the device (recommended). This option allows you to update your device conveniently without connecting it to a computer.

• You can load software updates onto a memory card using the Garmin Express application (garmin.com/express).

Use a soft, clean, lint-free cloth.

If necessary, lightly dampen the cloth with water.

If using a dampened cloth, turn off the device and disconnect

the device from power. Gently wipe the screen with the cloth.

Troubleshooting

My device is not acquiring satellite signals

• Verify the location services feature is enabled (Enabling or

Disabling Location Services, page 24).

• Take your device out of parking garages and away from tall buildings and trees.

• Remain stationary for several minutes.

My device does not connect to my phone or Smartphone Link

• Select > Bluetooth. The Bluetooth option must be enabled.

26 Troubleshooting

• Enable Bluetooth wireless technology on your phone and bring your phone within 10 m (33 ft.) of the device.

• On your smartphone, open the Smartphone Link app, and select > to restart the Smartphone Link background services.

• Verify your phone is compatible. Go to www.garmin.com/bluetooth for more information.

• Complete the pairing process again. To repeat the pairing process, you must unpair your phone

and device (Deleting a Paired Bluetooth Device, page 12), and complete the pairing process.

My phone is not listed as a Bluetooth audio source

The Bluetooth audio source requires a separate Bluetooth connection with your smartphone. To use your phone as a Bluetooth media source, you must pair it separately in the Fusion Media app (Connecting a Compatible Bluetooth Device,

page 15).

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.
