EXTERNAL CONTROL
The Controller features the ability to be controlled by a computer or APP connected to an Ethernet
network or by a computer connected to the RS-232 port.
Ethernet Control
The Controller features two RJ45 Ethernet jacks, which can be connected to an existing Ethernet
network and other network devices, such as a smart TV. When one of the ports is connected to an
Ethernet network, the two ports function as an Ethernet switch. Perform the following steps to
connect the controller for Ethernet control.

network. Note that to use the mobile app for control, the network must have a Wi-Fi
connection.

(Optional) Using a second Ethernet network cable (not included), plug one end into the LAN2
port on the controller, then plug the other end into a network device, such as a smart TV.
IMPORTANT! Do not connect a computer directly
to the Controller! The Controller must be
connected to an existing Ethernet network or
other network devices.
