ETHERNET CONNECTION AND FACTORY RESET
INSTALLATION OVERVIEW
Ethernet Connection
The Ethernet connection is used for conguration and audio streaming as well as
for enabling control via the MyRussound App or the XTS Touchscreen. The default
network setting is DHCP-enabled, but the XZone4 can be congured with static IP
addressing using Web Cong. The Ethernet connection is also used for the built-in
streaming services and for playing any music stored on connected network drives
using DLNA.
Note: While the XZone4 has a single physical Ethernet connection, it will occupy
a total of 5 IP addresses on the network. One address is for XZone4 management,
and there are four other addresses, one for each of the internal streaming modules
that the XZone4 utilizes to provide independent streaming audio content to each
zone. If using DHCP, all 5 addresses will use DHCP. If using static IP addressing, all
5 addresses will need to be congured with a static address.
Factory Reset
The factory reset button has two functions. A 3-second press and hold will restore
network settings to DHCP. A 10-second press and hold will reset the XZone4 to
its factory default settings. When performing either of these functions, do not
power o the XZone4. It will reboot automatically on its own at the proper time.
The entire reset process may take several minutes. The XZone4 status LED will
illuminate green when the process is complete.
The factory reset deletes all conguration and personal information including
service account settings and passwords.
Note: After a factory reset, the XZone4 will require valid Russound Certied
Installer credentials in order to be unlocked and congured again.

INSTALLATION OVERVIEW
Important Considerations
1. Disconnect the power cord before making any wiring connections to the
XZone4.
2. Verify that all connections and polarity are correct.
3. Keep all power cords away from all signal cables to prevent humming
caused by induced noise.
4. Label wires appropriately, on both ends of the wire run.
5. Avoid running speaker wires or signal cables close to house electrical
wiring for any distance. If you have to run them parallel, make sure to space
the wires at least two feet from the AC line. If you need to cross an AC line it
should be at a 90° angle.
Step 2. Connect the speaker wires for each zone, being careful to match the
wiring polarity (positive to positive, negative to negative)
a. Strip back 1/8” of the insulation on the speaker wire and twist the end of
each wire to tighten the bundle of copper strands on each wire.
b. Place the stripped end of the wire into the appropriate terminal and
collapse the latch. Check to make sure there are no strands of copper
showing and check the security of the wire in the connector. Between each
terminal, take caution to not let the wire fray or touch another connection.
Each terminal accepts up to 14 AWG wire.
c. Connect the other end of the wire to each speaker. Be careful to maintain
polarity.
d. Re-connect the detachable speaker terminal.
Snap connector
Speaker wires
Make sure to label each speaker wire with the zone name that it is connected
to. This will allow easier system maintenance in the future.
Attach the speaker terminal to the appropriate output on the XZone4. Each
of the four zones can be custom-named so that it doesn’t matter which of the
four connections you are using for any particular zone.
Step 3. Connect an Ethernet cable from an open network port on the home
network to the Ethernet port on the rear of the XZone4.
Step 4. Connect the power cord to the rear of the XZone4 and then plug the
other end into an electrical outlet.
Step 5. Depress the power button on the front of the XZone4 to power on the
unit.
The XZone4 will take 1-2 minutes to fully power up. The amber LED on the
front panel will illuminate during the power-up process. When the green LED
on the front panel is illuminated, you are ready to proceed.
Step 6. Unlock the XZone4 – Using a smartphone, tablet, or laptop, navigate
to the XZone4 Web Cong main page by typing in one of the following:
a. XZone4 IP address – Enter the IP address of the XZone4 into the
web browser on your phone, tablet, or PC connected to the same
network as the XZone4. Example: if the IP address is 192.168.0.105, type
http://192.168.0.105 into the web browser. Note: If you don’t know the IP
address, you can use a network scanning app such as FING (free for iOS and
Android) to discover the IP address of the XZone4. The device name you
will be searching for in the Fing device list is “XZone4-XXXX” where XXXX
are the last four digits of the MAC ID of the XZone4.
b. XZone4 Hostname – Enter the hostname of the XZone4 into the web
browser on your phone, tablet, or PC connected to the same network as
the XZone4. For your convenience, the hostname is printed on a label
on the rear of the XZone4. The hostname is formatted as XZone4-XXXX
where XXXX is the last four digits of the XZone4’s MAC ID. Example: if
the hostname is XZONE4-1234, type http://XZONE4-1234 into the web
browser.

8 XZone4 Installation Manual
CONFIGURATION
Conguration of the XZone4 is done through Web Cong. Navigate to the
XZone4 Web Cong page (see Step 6 above)
Web Cong Setup Tab
Front Panel LEDs – The front panel LED lights can be disabled for any
installation where viewing the operational lights would be distracting, such as
in a bedroom where complete darkness is desired at night. The default setting
is enabled. To disable the front panel LED’s, select “Disabled” for this option
in Web Cong. Note: Only normal operation LEDs are disabled. Any error
condition LED lights will always illuminate.
Streamer Select – There are four tabs across the page that allow you to select
each of the four media streamers that you wish to congure. All settings in
this section apply to each individual streamer only and must be congured for
EACH streamer of the XZone4.
Device Name – Enter the desired zone name here. The name you enter will
be visible to all users of the MyRussound App or other user interfaces when
selecting the zone they would like to control. Suggested names include such
things as:
Master Bedroom Dining Room Guest Room
Bill's Room Patio Oce
Great Room Pool Bath
Kitchen Veranda Media Room
Make sure to choose a unique name for each zone in the home. If there are
two rooms named “Bedroom” for example, users will not know which zone
they are selecting and controlling.
AirPlay Password (Optional) - If you want to use an AirPlay password to limit
access for AirPlay users to stream audio to any zone of the XZone4, enter an
AirPlay password for that zone and click “Apply”. This same password must be
entered on any iOS device when attempting to use Apple AirPlay to stream
audio to that particular zone. If you do not want to use a password to control
access to AirPlay, leave the AirPlay Password eld blank.
Services - By default, all available audio services are enabled and are selectable
as options when streaming audio to a particular zone. If any of these services
are not being used, or if you wish to block access to any services for this
particular zone, you can do so by dragging and dropping the services between
the “Enabled” and “Disabled” sections on this Web Cong page. Note: You can
also re-order the services so that the services the end user wants to use rst are
at the top of the list. Simply drag and drop each service in the “Enabled” list to
the appropriate order that you would like them to appear to the end user for
each zone.
Volume Trim – The Volume Trim setting is used to allow a zone compensation
adjustment for each individual zone. In most cases, this setting does not need
to be modied, but if there are unusual audio characteristics such as for small
rooms, rooms lled with very reective surfaces like tiled oors and bare walls,
or rooms lled with highly absorptive materials like thick carpet and heavy
curtains, you can use the Volume Trim settings to tweak the sound levels. For
example in a smaller space such as a bathroom, you might want to tweak
the Volume Trim to a lower settings so that the volume level in that zone can
never get too loud. In a larger zone or a zone that has heavy curtains and thick
carpet, you might want to tweak the Volume Trim level higher. The default
setting for the Volume Trim level in each zone is -3 dB.
All-On Participation – When Enabled (Default), this zone will turn on when an
“All On” signal is received. If you do not want this zone to participate in an All
On command, choose Disabled on this page. Examples of rooms where you
might want this setting disabled are certain bedrooms or children’s nurseries
where such participation would not be desired.
Zone Output Type – The default setting for this is “Speaker + Line”. This setting
allows you to disable the speaker amplication for a particular zone. Disabling
the speaker output will shut o the power amplication circuit and will result
in reduced energy consumption for the zone. Changing this setting to “Line
Only” is required in any zone that is using the line-level output in "Fixed"
output mode to feed an additional amplier for extra power in that zone.
Congratulations! Your XZone4 is now fully congured.
9XZone4 Installation Manual
NETWORKING SETTINGS (OPTIONAL)
The XZone4 can be congured to use either dynamic DHCP network addresses
(Default) or to use pre-assigned static IP addresses. Note that the XZone4
occupies 5 total IP addresses on a network. One IP address is used for
communication and control information of the XZone4 itself (HOST) and the
other four are used with one for each of the four internal streaming modules
that the XZone4 utilizes to provide independent streaming audio content to
each zone. (STREAMER).
The Streamers are numbered 1 to 4 and correspond to each of the four zone
outputs of the XZone4.
The IP addresses are set using the Admin, Networking selection from the Web
Cong menu. The ve addresses can be set as DHCP (Default) or all ve can
be set as static IP addresses. Use caution when setting static IP addresses
as incorrect settings can cause network instability and cause networking
products such as the XZone4 to stop working properly. If static settings have
been entered and you are experiencing diculty communicating with the
XZone4, you can restore dynamic DHCP settings by pressing the Reset button
on the rear of the XZone4 and holding the button pressed for 3 seconds.
When entering static IP information, 5 IP addresses must be assigned, one
for the Host and one for each of the four Streamers. If DHCP is enabled on
the network, use caution to make sure that any static IP addresses assigned
to the XZone4 are not within the range of possible DHCP addresses and that
the addresses you assign to the XZone4 are not used for any other networking
device.
If necessary, change the Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, and DNS information
to the appropriate settings for your particular network.
Note: When changing the network address of the XZone4 Host, your browser
will lose its connection to the XZone4 and you will need to navigate to the
XZone4 Host’s new network address.
Power
As an advanced networking device, the XZone4 is designed
to be left on at all times. This allows instant access to your
favorite streaming audio sources at any time and is especially
useful due to the fact that most installations involve locating
the XZone4 in remote locations of the home where it would
be dicult to know if it is powered on or o or to know its
current status.
For extended periods of non-use (vacations, etc), we
recommend disconnecting the power source to the XZone4
unit until it is needed again.

NETWORKING BEST PRACTICES
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Networking Best Practices
Some of the most common problems can be caused by improper network
conguration and out-of-date rmware. Improper network conguration can
prevent XStream Series devices from connecting and communicating on the
network.
The rst step for troubleshooting is to check networking connections and
power cycle the equipment to check for proper communication.
A dedicated wireless 802.11n or better router is recommended. The reason
for this is that ISP supplied modem/router combination devices may have
incompatible settings that can cause issues with XStream Series devices
connecting or communicating across the network. It is recommended to not
use these modem/router combination devices, because the end user may not
have access to all services of the device. The ISP may have sole control over the
device settings and send updates to reset, reinitialize, or replace the device at
their discretion.
Check for rmware updates available for your Russound equipment to make
sure they are up-to-date in order to take advantage of any additional features
and supported services.
Use a network discovery and IP scanning application that can assist to better
understand the network, such as FING. http://overlooksoft.com/FING is free
and available for iOS and Android and can assist in identifying devices on the
network and if there are any IP addressing conicts.
Router Conguration:
A few routers may need additional conguration to prevent incompatibility
or intermittent connection issues. Access the router and check user accessible
settings that enable support for Multicast or IGMP and enable them or check
for options that may be actively ltering these protocols and disable those
lters. Check for other options that could have an eect on communication:
Options such as UPnP should be enabled Options such as IGMP Proxy, IGMP
Snooping, Multicast Filtering or WMM Proxy should be disabled.
Glossary
Multicast: The delivery of a message or information to a group of destination
computers simultaneously in a single transmission from the source.
Unicast: The delivery of a message or information which is sent from one point
to another point An example would be connecting to an IP address of a URL
such as www.google.com.
IGMP: Internet Group Management Protocol is an integral part of IP Multicast
and is used for one-to-many networking applications such as online streaming
audio and video, gaming, and allows more ecient use of resources when
supporting these types of applications.
WMM: Wireless Media Management is designed to support consumer and
corporate applications and works with 802.11a, 802.11b and 802.11g. The
specication provides basic prioritization of data packets based on four
categories - voice, video, best eort and background.
UPnP: Universal Plug and Play uses Multicast and allows media servers and
streaming devices to communicate.
