Lutron® integration protocol
Connection Information
Ethernet
Configuring the HWQS processor to communicate over a network takes not only knowledge of the
HWQS system, but of networking as well. Installers with limited networking knowledge are advised
to contact a networking professional before attempting to connect a HWQS processor through a
network.
The installer will make any necessary configuration changes to the HWQS processor using the
HWQS 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 only be able to integrate 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)
•
Limited to transferring ASCII characters
•
Telnet Port number is 23
•
Logins: Defined in the HWQS software application
RS232
The HWQS 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.
