Network Settings - Russound XZone70V Installation Manual

NETWORKING SETTINGS (OPTIONAL)
The XZone70V can be configured to use either a dynamic DHCP network
address (Default) or to use a pre-assigned static IP address. Note that the
XZone70V occupies two IP addresses on a network. One IP address is used
for communication and control information (HOST) and one is used for the
streaming services (STREAMER).
Both IP addresses are set using the Admin > Networking selection from the
Web Config menu. Both can be set as dynamic (Default) or both 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 XZone70V or any other device on the network to stop working properly.
If static settings have been entered and you are experiencing difficulty
communicating with the XZone70V, you can restore dynamic DHCP settings
by pressing the Reset button on the rear of the XZone70V and holding the
button pressed for 3 seconds.
When entering static IP information, two IP addresses must be assigned, one
for the Host and one for the Streamer. If DHCP is enabled on the network, use
caution to make sure that any static IP addresses assigned are not within the
range of possible DHCP addresses and that the addresses 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 XZone70V, your browser
will lose its connection to the XZone70V and you will need to navigate to the
XZone70V's new network address.

Power
As an advanced networking device, the XZone70V 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 XZone70V in remote locations where it would be difficult to know
if it is powered on or off or to know its current status.
For extended periods of non-use, we recommend disconnecting the power
source to the XZone70V unit until it is needed again.
