Usb Devices Connection; Ethernet Connections - Russound XStream X5 Installation Manual

USB Device Connection
The XStream™X5 has a USB 2.0/1.1 port on the rear panel for easy firmware updating of controller.
Software can be updated by Ethernet, Wi-Fi or by USB if necessary. If no internet connection is
available, the USB firmware update is available as an option. You can download the update onto a
USB stick from another location and upgrade the X5 at the site.
Ethernet Port
The XStream™ X5 has a connectivity to the local Ethernet network to perform SCS configuration over
an IP network (read from device/write to device). It also supports RIO over IP (8 maximum sessions).
Refer to the RIO protocol document for more details.
When the controller is connected to the local network, the network's DHCP server assigns an
IP address to the controller. This IP address is then entered in the SCS start-up screen to enable
configuration over IP.
Ethernet Connection
The IP address can be seen on the MDK-C6 keypad. From the keypad's Home screen, choose Settings,
then Installation. From the Installation menu, choose Network settings to see the controller's IP
address and MAC address.
During the DHCP process, messages may appear in the IP address window:
LINK DOWN - the Ethernet port is not detecting a link
DHCP WORKING - DHCP attempting to acquire an address
DHCP FAILED - DHCP was unable to acquire an address or no DHCP server
UNKNOWN ERROR - error other than DHCP failure
To restart DHCP, the Ethernet cable must be disconnected and reconnected to the XStream™ X5, or
power cycle the controller.
