Introduction
Thank you for choosing the IoCore. The IoCore is expansion module for the
CueCore and QuadCore range of solid-state lighting controllers. The IoCore can
add extra GPI, GPO, RS-232 and DMX ports to a CueCore based installation.
Furthermore, the IoCore is perfectly capable of working stand-alone when
there is no CueCore attached. It can be programmed to convert and trigger any
of its protocols autonomously. Given the open nature of the IoCore’s protocol
suite (UDP, OSC, Art-Net) this unit can easily be integrated with third-party
systems.
An internal web-server provides the web-interface through which you can
program the IoCore. A modern browser is required to access this web-interface
during set-up. A browser or computer is not required for standalone use after
the initial set-up.

This manual discusses setting up and programming the unit. Chapter 2
provides background information on the communication protocols used the Io-
Core. Chapters 4 and 5 cover how to set up the unit and configure the network
connection.
Programming the triggering and converting functionality is done in the 6
chapter as discussed on page 27.
At the time of writing this manual the IoCore’s firmware was at version 1.39.
