Setting the Stereo as a Wired DHCP Server
If you connected more than two network devices together directly or using a network switch or wireless access point and did not install a router, you should configure only one Fusion PartyBus™ stereo to be a DHCP server.
NOTE:
Although the
Fusion PartyBus devices can communicate with each other without a DHCP server on the network, the devices take longer to connect to each other when you first turn them on. It is highly recommended to have a properly-configured DHCP server on the network for the best results.
NOTE:
If your vessel has a mix of
Garmin® Marine Network and
Garmin BlueNet™ networks connected through a
Garmin BlueNet bridge, all stereos must be connected to the
Garmin BlueNet network.

You must set the stereo to use a static IP address before you can set it as a wired DHCP server.
