1. Introduction
1.1. Overview
The ipCUE are 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 bidirectional 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, digital I/O ports, 24 volts relays and 230 volts relays. 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 touch panels, button panels and interfaces. Some controllers are
equipped with +5 VDC and/or +12 VDC output added to the design for powering external low-voltage
equipment. 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 all controllers
also come with indicator LEDs on the front panel, which indicates the status of all of the control ports. The
ipCUE controllers keep actual time with its built-in 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 and configuration through a standard web browser.

4. Quick Start
4.1. 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.
4.2. 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.
Using LAN Network
Attach one end of an RJ-45 Ethernet straight-through cable to the ipCUE controller CUEnet (LAN) port and
attach the other end of the RJ-45 Ethernet cable to your computer.

5. Physical Description
The ipCUE-alpha, ipCUE-beta, ipCUE-delta and ipCUE-epsilon front panels are made of aluminum plate. The
ipCUE-gamma and ipCUE-sigma front panels are made of plastic. The indication LEDs and infrared sensors
are behind the front panel. Connectors and button are located on the rear panel of the device. All connectors
are labeled incl. pin out.
It should be cleaned with a soft/non-abrasive cloth.

Off.............................................No power presented.
Blue On.....................................Power 24 V is presented. The unit is ready.
6.2. LINK Indicator
Off.............................................Network is not detected.
Green On..................................Network detected.
6.3. ACT Indicator
Off.............................................No data transmitted or received through the CUEnet (LAN) port.
Yellow On or Flashing..............Data is being transmitted or received through the CUEnet (LAN) port.
6.4. CPU Indicator
This Green LED indicates the end of the operating system boot up by flashing OK in Morse code. Operating
system is booted after the unit has either been reset or switched on. The booting time is approx. 15 seconds.
6.5. IR SENSOR
The window marked by IR SENSOR (not applied in ipCUE-gamma and ipCUE-sigma), covers two IR sensors
and one LED indication.
1. The built-in IR sensor carries the same functionality as irCUE Receiver or irCUE Receiver 485. This
means that ipCUE can receive IR signal from CUE wireless IR control panels without the need to use
any external IR receiver.
2. The second built-in IR sensor allows IR codes capture directly by ipCUE unit. The flashing Yellow LED
indicates the received infra-red signal and serves for optimum distance setup between the receiver and
captured IR remoter. The flashing Red LED indicates that received infra-red signal is too strong and
capturing sensor is overloaded. In this case increase the distance between controller and transmitter.
6.6. IR LEVEL and IR CAPTURE SENSOR
IR CAPTURE SENSOR (applied in ipCUE-sigma only) allows IR codes capture directly by ipCUE-sigma. The
flashing Yellow LED labeled IR LEVEL indicates the received infra-red signal and serves for optimum distance
setup between the receiver and captured IR remoter. The flashing Red LED indicates that received infra-red
signal is too strong and capturing sensor is overloaded. In this case increase the distance between controller
and transmitter.

7. Connection
7.1. CUEnet (LAN)
The CUEnet is a standard network connection 10/100 BaseT LAN using RJ-45 connector. There is no auto
sense, which means it does not recognize straight through cable to cross-over cable. For the direct PC
connection it is necessary to use cross-over cable; for the connection to Ethernet switch straight through cable.
The length of the Ethernet cable connecting ipCUE controller to the network must not exceed 100 meters.
