2. Introduction
2.1. Overview
CUE, a.s. unveils the ipCUE controllers as a new generation of Ethernet IP enabled controllers. These
controllers are well suited for single-room applications as well as huge multi-room, multi-floor distributed
control applications. The ipCUE controllers come with multiple control ports well suited for home applications
as well as commercial. The control ports include bi-directional serial ports RS-232, bi-directional serial ports
configurable as RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485, infrared outputs up to 1.2 MHz that can be configured to control
up to three pieces of equipment, general I/O ports that can also be configured as analog inputs and 24 volts
relay outputs. The Ethernet port allows for bi-directional IP control of any manufacturer IP enabled products.
The ipCUE controllers are compatible with CUE‘s existing range of button panels and touch panels through
and come equipped with a CUEwire port. For convenience there has also been a +5 VDC output added to
the design for powering external low-voltage equipment (except ipCUE-gamma). The units are equipped with
internal IR sensor (except ipCUE-gamma). The sensor allows to capture IR codes and links IR wireless
control panels. Convenient for testing and troubleshooting the ipCUE controllers also come with indicator
LEDs on the front panel, which indicates the status of all of the control ports. The ipCUE controllers keep
perfect time with its onboard real time clock (RTC), thus allowing for a wide variety of distributed intelligence
scheduling applications. The ipCUE controllers come complete with a web-server and allow for setup,
configuration, and testing through a standard web browser. This web-based interface allows for the graphical
monitoring and control of all ports, which provides a truly timesaving method for testing and troubleshooting.

5. Quick Start
5.1. Powering Up
Every ipCUE controller requires power from an external power supply. The standard CUEadapter /30W is
delivered with the unit. Attach the 2-pin connector of the power supply unit to the PWR IN connector located
on the rear panel of ipCUE controller and attach power cable to a power outlet. The LED labeled PWR will
light up when the unit is powered on.
5.2. PC Connection
Using LAN Directly to PC
Attach one end of an RJ-45 Ethernet crossed-over cable to the ipCUE controller CUEnet (LAN) port and
attach the other end of the RJ-45 Ethernet cable to your computer.
Ethernet Crossed-Over Cable
This cable can be used to cascade hubs, or for connecting two Ethernet stations back-to-back without a hub.
It works with 10Base-T, 100Base-TX, 100Base-T4 and 1000Base-T. Use a good enough cable, if you are
confused about categories of cables then use Category 5 (enhanced) and you'll be fine even at 1000Base-T.

Notes
1. 1000Base-T names are in parentheses.
2. It's important that each pair is kept as a pair. TX+ & TX- must be in the pair and RX+ & RX- must
together in another pair. Just as the table above shows.
3. While 10Base-T and 100Base-TX only uses 2 pairs, please connect all four since 100Base-T4 and
1000Base-T needs them and save you some future debugging.
4. The colors originate from the numbering and name on NIC 1.
5. The connection is based on IEEE Standard 802.3, 2000 Edition.
