Connection Information

Ethernet

Conﬁguring the HomeWorks QS processor to communicate over a network takes not only

knowledge of the HomeWorks QS system, but of networking as well. Installers with limited

networking knowledge are advised to contact a networking professional before attempting to

connect a HomeWorks QS processor through a network.

The installer will make any necessary conﬁguration changes to the HomeWorks QS processor

using the HomeWorks QS Design Software Application and the network professional can make

any necessary changes to the networking equipment.

Dual Ethernet Port

• IEEE® 802.3 Auto-Sensing 10BaseT / 100BaseTX

• Supports MDI/MDIX auto-crossover (no crossover cable needed).

• Female 8P8C “Computer RJ-45” socket

• Green “Connect” LED, Amber “Activity” LED

• Use Cat 5 cabling or better

• 2 Port 10/100 Ethernet Switch

TCP / IP Settings

• IP Address: Address at which the processor can be reached for integration. In most instances

when integrating to a processor, DHCP should be disabled and a static IP address should be

assigned to prevent the processor from changing IP addresses.

• Subnet Mask: In conjunction with the IP address, it deﬁnes the subnet on which the processor

communicates. Processors will be able to integrate only with devices on the same subnet.

• Gateway: Used in instances where the processor needs to communicate to the internet. Should be

set to the IP address of the device on the network connected directly to the internet—typically, the

home router.

Protocols Used for Integration

• TELNET

Telnet Server

• Used by third party equipment (e.g., touch screen)

• Used by Lutron mobile devices (e.g., iPad and iPhone)

• Limited to transferring ASCII characters

• Telnet Port number is 23

• Logins: Deﬁned in the HomeWorks QS software application

RS232

The HomeWorks QS Processor does not have native support for RS232. An Ethernet to RS232

adapter can be used and conﬁgured to provide RS232 integration directly from the Processor if

needed.
