Rack Mounting
The Rack Mounting Shelf (CS0449) provides simple solution for installing interfaces to the 19” rack. It allows
to install up to four quarter-rack sized interfaces to single 19” unit rack space. All necessary accessories are
supplied with the shelf.
Interface is fixed to the Rack Mounting Shelf by two screws M3 x 6 using threads on the bottom side of
interface. Screws M3 x 6 are bundled to Rack Mounting Shelf. Don’t use longer screws to avoid damage of
PCBs inside the unit.

System And Power Connection
Wired Models
All wired interfaces are connected using 10/100 BaseT LAN communication and Power over Ethernet (PoE)
power supply.
For networks without PoE infrastructure it is necessary to use PoE Adapter compliant with IEEE802.3af
standard. PoE adapter isn’t part of interface delivery. Recommended model is Cue’s PoE Adapter PSA16U,
product code CS0327.

This section describes control ports used in smartCUE interfaces. Specific port numbers and combinations are
described in the section Specifications and in sections describing specific models.
SERIAL
Bi-directional Serial RS-232
This bi-directional serial channels is used for RS-232 communication.
Output signal levels are in the -12 V to +12 V range.
Baud rate can be set to the following values: 300, 600, 1 200, 2 400, 4 800, 9 600, 19 200, 38 400, 57 600,
115 200, 230 400 and 460 800 Bd (bps).
▪ Output for infra-red emitters (IR Adapter /i, IR Sprayer)▪ RS-232 serial output (one way). Output signal levels are in the -12 V to +12 V range and baud rate can
be set to the following values: 1 200, 2 400, 4 800, 9 600, 19 200, 38 400, 57 600, 115 200 Bd (bps).
The IR outputs and RS-232 outputs can be combined on independent outputs. For example two outputs can
be used as IR, two outputs can be used as RS-232.

Notes
▪ All pins labelled G are connected together.▪ Up to three original infra-red emitters IR Adapter /i can be connected to each output in parallel.▪ Up to ten IR Sprayers can be connected to each output in parallel▪ It is not recommended to connect more infra-red emitters of various manufacturers in parallel because
Digital I/O provide digital input as well as digital output. Each Digital I/O port can be used either as input or
as output.
Pull-up resistor 680 ohms is connected to +5 VDC. Digital input is rated 0 – 24 VDC, threshold is 2 V.
Voltage on I/O with open output transistor is approx. 4.3 VDC, because protection diode is connected in
series (0.7 V drop-down). Voltage on I/O for output switch on is approx. 0.6 V. Max. 24 VDC / 80 mA can be
switched by output transistor.
General I/O provides analog input as well as digital output. Each General I/O port can be used either as input
or as output.
Pull-up resistor 680 ohms is connected to +5 VDC and can be switched on and off for each I/O
independently. I/O voltage with pull-up on is approx. +4.3 VDC, because protection diode is connected in
series (0.7 V drop down). Analog input is rated 0 – 20 VDC.
Analog to digital (A/D) converter has 12-bits precision (i.e. 4096 levels). Digital output can switch max. 24
VDC / 80 mA. Output voltage for output switch on is approx. 0.6 V.
This port provides one isolated low voltage relay. Each relay contact closure is rated 24 V / 0.5 A.
Normally Close (NC) and Normally Open (NO) contacts as well as Common (C) contact of each relay can be
used. The Normally Close (NC) position is the state of the relay when it is not turned on (energized).

Each interface can be identified by a unique identification
name. Unique names are most useful in applications
requiring more than one interfaces. This enables
programmers and installers to reference interface with
logical, user friendly names, like “boardroom”, “lobby”,
etc.
To set the interface identity, enter the unique name you
wish to use in the Name box.
Be sure to click the Apply button for any changes to
become effective!
This page is used for establishing the communication
parameters. All interfaces use standard internet protocol
(IP) communication parameters.
The following parameter is read-only.
▪ Physical address (MAC)
The parameters bellow can be set by the user.
▪ IP address▪ Subnet mask▪ Default gateway▪ Admin Web port▪ TCP port 1▪ TCP port 2▪ UDP port
Carefully note this addressing information (and any
changes you select to make to the IP address, subnet
mask, default gateway, ...). This information must be
entered into the Cue Visual Composer program written
for your specific application. For control systems with
more than one interface, a unique IP address must be
given to each smartCUE. In case you are using a router
don’t forget to open the appropriate TCP and UDP ports.
DHCP is not supported in this release.
Be sure to click the Apply button for any changes to
become effective!
Insert an Network name (SSID). It is the name of the
network you want to access. It is used to identify different
wireless networks. It is case-sensitive and must not
exceed 32 alphanumeric characters, which may be any
keyboard character.
Select Network type Infrastructure or Ad-Hoc.
Select from the list-box the radio channel for the Ad Hoc
network. Configurable only when Network Type is set to
Ad-Hoc. The default value is 9.
A case sensitive password is necessary to login to the web
pages.
Set a new password via the New password box. You
must reenter the password in the Confirm new password
box (an error message will generate if the confirmation
does not match, in which case you should reenter your
password again in both boxes). Check Hide characters
check-box to keep your password secure.
Finally, the new password is implemented by clicking the
Apply button.
To restart your interface, click the Reset button.
