Connecting X5 To Home Network; Wired Connection; Wireless Connection - Russound XStream X5 Installation Manual

CONNECTING XSTREAM X5 TO YOUR HOME NETWORK
Start by plugging in the power cable. DO NOT connect the Ethernet cable at
this time. All other cables should be connected.
Power on the X5. The X5 will power on in Access Point mode by default. (After
booting, the yellow and green LEDs will turn solid). Like other Wi-Fi enabled
devices, Access Point mode allows you to directly connect the X5
via Wi-Fi.
There are two ways to to connect the X5 to your home network: using a wired
connection or wireless connection.
Making a wired connection
1. Connect the Ethernet cable to the X5. The orange LED will flash rapidly for
a few seconds and then turn solid. It will take 30-60 seconds for the LED to
change to a solid green, indicating the X5 is connected to the network.
Note: A wired connection can be made when the X5 is in Access Point mode
or already in Wireless mode by connecting the Ethernet cable.
